'Starry Eyed' beauty Ellie Goulding has revealed that she loves to work out as much as she loves performing because they're both such incredible experiences that give her similar feelings and bursts of adrenaline. 

She told Nike.com that there's a strong link between music and exercising because they both give her a "rush" although nothing compares to the feeling she gets when she walks out onto a stage in front of an audience:

"I think my passion for exercise and my passion for performing on stage have started to intertwine slightly because I have to be fit to do all of the things I want to do on stage. Sports and music have a similar rush. But when I'm on stage, there's no other feeling like it. It doesn't come close to anything."

Back in October, Goulding confessed that an undiscovered heart condition means she has been banned from the gym: 

"I found out I have this heart thing and I need to get it checked out. I'm fine, it's actually something someone discovered last year but I never got it checked out. Which is terrible, I have been playing with my life. So I have been very relaxed, I have been chilling and not being as militant about what I eat. It's nice to know you actually can't go to the gym, you're not allowed."
