During an interview with radio station Fresh 102.7, our favorite California girl dished on her fitness routine and what makes her feel good.

"I think making my body feel good boosts my confidence," Katy told radio host Kim Berk. "I think if I just take a minute to get more sleep and also if I [take] a run. My favorite 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."
