She Mixes Up Her Workouts

Arabella does a lot of different workouts. '"I've always been to the gym and mix up my training and I think that's why I've always been able to maintain it for such a long period of time because I love to switch up my training," she told OK! "For me at the moment I try and get in five or six sessions a week. I'll do two cardio sessions, two weighted gym sessions and two yoga sessions and my yoga that I do is very chilled and relaxed which, in the industry I'm in is very, very good for my mind because it's such a fast-paced industry."

She Believes It's Quality Not Quantity with Exercise

Arabella has a "quality not quantity approach to fitness." "Don't put too much pressure on yourself by forcing yourself to go 5 or more times a week," she told Boux Avenue. "My advice would be to start small and build up to get to where you want to be. 15 mins in the morning before work is sometimes all you need."

She Meditates

Arabella also gets her zen on."I meditate and go to the gym," she said to Boux Avenue. "When I work out, I'm not with my phone and disconnect, and have some me-time where I switch off from the world. I think that's important."

She Doesn't Diet

"I don't believe in cheat days, I don't cut anything out of my diet. I've tried it all – being vegan, veggie, pescatarian! If I'm craving something, I'll have it; however luckily I do love healthy food," Arabella told Boux Avenue about her diet. "I look at it like a circle… How does that make me feel when I've had it? You have a sugar rush and you feel great, then you come crashing down, whereas with a vegan brownie for example, it's got more nutrition so you feel better for that whole circle."
