She’s received rave reviews for her performance as Grizabella in the West End revival of Cats, and despite performing six days a week, traveling the world and performing sold out shows of her own, the gorgeous Nicole Scherzinger has boundless energy. How DOES she do it?

We sat down with the Cosmo Body covergirl to chat all things energy, health and happiness and here’s what she had to say:

“[Exercise] changes everything about how I approach my day and helps me go about life with confidence – that’s the main reason I do it. It gives me clarity and makes me feel stronger. It’s not so much for the physical and vanity side of it. I do it more for the emotional strength it gives me.”

“Healthy for me means a healthy mind, then everything else becomes aligned – the mental, physical, spiritual… everything… Being happy means having balance, being creative and finding peace.”

But she does admit that working out isn’t as easy as it used to be when she was younger:

“I’m like any woman – my weight fluctuates up and down. I have good days and bad days. For many years I worked out every single day, but now I’m in my thirties it’s like pulling teeth. I gotta make myself work out – you need to find that balance.”
