She Has a Healthy Relationship with Exercise
Michelle doesn't "punish" herself with exercise. "If I really, really don't want to go – I don't go," she told Cosmopolitan UK about her positive approach to fitness. She tries to workout three times a week for 45 minutes, but sometimes she skips her workouts. "I just don't punish myself, it's not, like, my life to go to the gym. If I can go to the gym I will, if I can't, I can't," she said. "I think the more you go, the more you guilt trip yourself because you feel like it's part of your routine. If I can go four or five times a week, great. If I can only go twice – or once – at least I've been."
She Carb Loads
Carbohydrates aren't the enemy, according to Michelle. However, she only eats them in the morning. "I try not to eat carbs late at night," she told Cosmopolitan. "I hate that feeling of feeling really full before going to bed."
She Does a Lot of Strength Training and Avoids Cardio
Michelle's approach to fitness focuses primarily on strength training. "I hate cardio. I just hate that feeling of not being able to breathe," Michelle revealed to Cosmopolitan. "A few years ago I would have done about 40 minutes of cardio, whereas now I feel like the more I do weights, the more I see a change in my body. For my body, weight training is better for me. I do alternative days, so one day I'll focus on my legs, and the next day I'll focus on my arms."
She Maintains Variety with Exercise
"I never do the same thing. I change it up all the time," Michelle explained to Cosmopolitan about her approach to fitness. "I've started doing HIIT exercises before I do any weights now, and I actually really enjoy [it] because I feel like I've done something. I've sweated before I've even got onto the weights." She also uses YouTube videos for workout inspiration.
She Actually Doesn't Eat Roasts
Contrary to Michelle's latest caption, you won't find her eating a Sunday roast@ "I've never really liked the taste, ever," she dished Cosmopolitan. "I've never been one to go out and have a steak, I've never craved it. Even with a roast dinner, if my mum would serve lamb or beef, I'd always leave it to the side. A few years ago I did a photoshoot with a lamb and that just threw me, it put me off lamb." Another food group she avoids? Dairy products. "It's hard because I like cheese, but I'm trying not to have any milk in my coffee so I'm using alternative products like coconut milk and almond milk," she explained.
She Eats Healthy…Most of the Time
While Michelle eats healthy the majority of the time, she allows herself a cheat meal or two per week. "I love a good cheeseboard, I also love a Chinese on a Saturday night," she told Cosmopolitan. "I never feel guilty when I eat cheat food because if I've been quite strict all week, I feel like I deserve it. I never feel guilty if I eat a cheat meal. I'm a proper foodie, I love my food."
