She Does Pilates
Lis loves hopping on the reformer. "I go to reformer Pilates a couple of times a week," she revealed to Health & Wellbeing. According to research, Pilates exercises are designed to increase muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility, and to improve posture and balance. Experts maintain that it is a great workout for leaning out
She Runs
Lisa also does "a little bit of running every now and then," she added to Health & Wellbeing. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. "For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories," they say.
She Walks
Lisa gets her steps in. "I walk pretty much everywhere, I get the Tube when I'm coming into London for appointments so I can try to get my 10,000 steps in a day; I really feel the difference in my body, overall wellbeing and energy levels when I do that, plus it's good cardio, but is gentle on your joints. I also use free weights at home or at the gym," she told Health & Wellbeing
She Takes Barre Classes
Lisa also goes to classes at Define London, which is "like barre but it's not really ballet, and the teacher's really inspirational," she said. Barre has lots of benefits, not just weight loss, including the fact that it helps tone your arms and legs, and because it's low impact, it is even suitable for pregnant women. Plus, it has lots of celeb fans, like Natalie Portman and Calgary Avansino. I like to take part in classes because it's sociable, and you can't leave – with a run, I can set myself a 30-minute goal and then do 25 minutes and head to the sauna, but with a class, I have to see it through," she said.
She Brings a "Fit Kit" with Her When She Travels
"It can be hard to fit exercise into my schedule. I take my fit kit with me when I'm travelling and I always check that there's a gym where I'm going," she told Health & Wellbeing. If there is no gym, she will swim laps in the pool. "I just have to keep moving because I've noticed a big difference in my body when I try to walk a lot, swim or run. Most hotels have classes that you can jump in on, too."
She Prioritizes Self-Care
Lisa is al about self-care. "You need to know what makes you feel good… whether it's just running a bath and using a really relaxing oil and lighting some candles, or putting on a TED Talk to watch some really inspirational videos from people that have come up with these incredible inventions, or those who have had the most amazing journeys. I quite like being in the bath and watching a talk; I think it's really grounding to watch others and what they've been through – it can be quite emotional and enlightening. Or, I'll book in to see a girlfriend and have a glass of wine!" she says.
She Does Yoga
"I love the whole ethos of yoga," Lisa explained to Health & Wellbeing. "I think it's really lovely to have that hour just for you where you can concentrate on your breath and you're not thinking of anything else. I don't always get to the classes I'd like to, but I feel so amazing afterwards. I like Yin Yoga; you stay in the same position for five minutes and then move to another position using bolsters and blocks to open up areas of your body. It's very calming and soothing, but at the same time it can also be energising too, because you've spent an hour concentrating on your breath and you're recharging your brain and invigorating your body by just putting your phone down, avoiding social media and not thinking about anything else."
