John Mayer and Katy Perry
Katy Perry loves the outdoors despite her glamorous image.
The 'Roar' singer, who is dating singer-songwriter John Mayer, prefers to skip the gym in favour of exercising by the water or in a park, as it boosts her confidence and makes her feel happier.
The 28-year-old star told New York radio station Fresh 102.7: "I think making my body feel good boosts my confidence. I think if I just take a minute to get more sleep and also if I [take] a run. My favourite thing to do here in New York is bicycle right by the waterfront. Just put on a new record that I want to listen to and just go bicycling up and down, up and down. And go bicycling in Central Park! It is so nice. It's like all these scenes are changing around you. It's a beautiful feeling."
Katy spends as much time as possible outside as it also helps her to relax.
She said: "I go hiking. I do all the outdoors stuff. I just try to make sure my body feels good and then my mind feels good. And then I'm happy!"
Katy's relationship is another reason she is blissfully happy ahead of the release of her fourth studio album 'Prism' in October.
The singer reconciled with her on/off boyfriend John in May after admitting she was still "madly in love" with him in an interview.
The couple were spotted enjoying dinner with friends, including Rihanna, in New York on Monday night (12.08.13), where an eyewitness said they appeared to be completely besotted with one another.
The source previously said: "She and John were adorable as Katy introduced him to people as her boyfriend and John affectionately held her close with his arm around her."
