Luisa Zissman in Two-Piece Workout Gear Is "Still Winning" After Back Injury

Luisa Zissman isn't afraid to challenge herself when it comes to her workouts, even after injuring her back in March. Zissman, 37, shared a video of herself wearing black leggings and a gray sports bra, doing some exercises with a personal trainer. "Still winning 🙌🏻😝," she captioned the video. "I think I've recovered so well because I really did take my time – I still have weekly physio + weekly sports massages & I was really fit & strong before the injury, I have a really strong core which I think also has helped. BUT I still get some niggles & have to really listen to my body now. ❤️❤️ my neuro surgeon is literally my hero! 😍😍," she commented in response to a fan. Zissman is a self-made woman who is only going from strength to strength career-wise—here's how she stays fit and happy.

Zissman works out for both mental and physical benefits, including Pilates, yoga, and strength training into her routine. "I'm probably the fittest now than I've ever been in my adult life, but that's because I do prioritise it and I'm in a good routine," she told Closer. "That's what I try and say to people, 'It only takes three weeks, apparently, to start a new habit'. So if you focus on it and then you get into that habit and realise how food makes you feel and how rewarding a routine is, then you will find your flow."

Zissman focuses on her core when she's horseback riding and working out. " I do focus on my abs because I find ab workouts easy," she told Closer. "I also don't eat processed food and I don't eat a lot of fat. I think really, if you want to see abs pop you do need to have relatively lean body fat. But I enjoy doing abs, I love hanging and lifting my legs up. I've got a broken ankle at the minute and I was still in the gym today hanging and lifting my legs up. It was really heavy because I've got a boot on!"

Zissman swears by hot baths for rest and recovery. "When I'm really cold and I've been riding, I'll get in a bubble bath," she told HeatWorld. "I always use this Tropic Tahitian & Coconut Bath Foam and Epsom Salts because I always have muscle aches and pain because I work out so much."

Zissman took a chance when she appeared on The Apprentice UK. "I applied for The Apprentice because I had the business and my husband at the time was involved. We were going through an amicable break-up, but I wanted to do something on my own," she told Absolutely Magazines. "I thought, I'm just going to give it a whirl. I didn't necessarily want to be business partners with Alan Sugar, but I wanted to branch out on my own. It taught me that I was better than I thought I was. I never thought I'd get into the final, so it was a big confidence boost and it taught me that a lot is possible – if you really want something then you most definitely can do it."

Zissman loves horse riding in the countryside around her home. "I've lived in St Albans, I'm currently living in a village just outside of Potters Bar, and I'm moving soon to Bishop's Stortford so I've covered the whole of Hertfordshire," she told Absolutely Magazines. "I really loved St Albans, it's such a beautiful place with a real buzz, but I love the villages and community feel too. I've got seven horses and I love riding around all the rural areas, but I like that you can still go to places like Bishop's Stortford for a great night out."
