<p>In an interview with Michael Ola on Neat FM, the Ghanaian gospel singer shared insights into her fitness journey and explained how pursuing a fitness journey benefits her.</p>

<p>Selina explained that, coming from a family of <em>“thick women,”</em> <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/video-of-selina-boateng-gasping-for-breath-in-overly-tight-corset-dress-goes-viral/z2q524x">her decision to frequent the gym is not about slimming down</a> but about taking care of her health. </p>

<p><em>“I come from a family of thick women, so going to the gym isn’t about slimming down,”</em> she noted. <em>“It’s about health. After childbirth, the body changes, and it’s essential to take care of yourself,” </em>she said.</p>

<p>As a gospel artist, Selina revealed that exercise has significantly boosted her stamina and vocal strength, which is crucial for her demanding performances. <em>“Some people get tired after singing for just 30 minutes, but I can perform for an hour or two without feeling exhausted. Our work is all about breathing, and exercising helps with that,”</em> she explained.</p>

She emphasised that fitness isn’t solely about weight loss but about overall well-being and sustaining one's health.</p>

<p>Additionally, Selina revealed that regular exercise has resolved some vocal issues she previously experienced. <em>“Ever since I started exercising, that problem has been solved,”</em> she said, pointing to the long-term benefits of maintaining a fitness routine, especially for vocal artists.</p>

<p>In her concluding remarks, Selina urged others to prioritise their health, noting, <em>“You can have the talent to sing like Celine Dion, but without good health, you can’t perform to the best of your abilities. Fitness is essential for sustaining our gifts.”</em></p>

<p>Her message reinforces the idea that fitness is about appearance and cultivating a healthy lifestyle that enhances one's overall well-being, regardless of body type. Hear more from her in the video below.</p>
