1. She Works Out In The Mornings

Atkinson opened up about her wellness secrets and routines to Womens Fitness. She says that she usually works out in the mornings, as it’s easy for her schedule. “It is vital to me as when I have worked out it totally changes how I feel – I’m not only a better mother, but fiancé and friend, too. I’m a sucker for routine and, as anyone knows, with a toddler it is difficult to find time in the day to focus on exercise. So, I get up everyday at 5am to get my fitness in before Mia wakes up at 7am. By then I am in a really good head space to face the day and focus on her needs.”

2. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Atkinson tells Womens Fitness that she does a lot of different workouts. “We have a home gym, so I use all the weight training machines, but I am also a fan of Thai boxing as body strength is so important as you get older. I focus on my flexibility and mobility as I am so conscious to keep an eye on my bone density so that I grow older without any health problems.”

3. She Eats A Balanced Diet

Atkinson is a big believer in balance, especially when it comes to her diet. She tells Womens Fitness, “I don’t restrict myself too much. I am probably 70 per cent sensible and then 30 per cent eat what I fancy. I was brought up having a chip tea every Friday and I continue to do that. My motto is train and fuel yourself, not diet and exercise.”

4. She’s True To Herself

Atkinson is all about being real. Especially when it comes to her social media. She tells Womens Fitness, “I am all for being myself, flaws and all. It is the best way one can be. Otherwise, it is a total act, and how can you live out a lie posting pictures of yourself on socials and then seeing people in real life looking nothing like them? I can’t understand it.”

5. She Eats Healthy

Atkinson broke down what she typically eats in an interview with Ultimate Performance. “Breakfast-wise, I’ve been eating three eggs, spinach and half an avocado. Or I swap spinach for kale. It’s basically protein, fats and fibre for my breakfast. Then I have my oats and whey mid-morning, which I love. My lunch is normally white meat and veg. I don’t eat any red meat. I have only chicken and fish, and I have that with a load of vegetables again. Post-training is my whey shake with a banana, which I have straight after training. Then again, my evening meal is white meat, lots of veg and sweet potato. That’s it really.”

But you know, I wouldn't be human if you didn't have the down days, you know?”

1. She Lives An Active Life

After having her daughter, India, Felstead wasn’t as focused on losing weight. However, she told The Sun that she found herself working out a lot more by just living her life. “At first, fitness and getting in shape is the last thing on your mind. All you care about is this wonderful baby and you’re so exhausted everything is a bit of a blur. But without realizing it, you’re picking up prams and cots and you’re constantly on the move.”

When it comes to working out, for Felstead, the earlier, the better. Felstead tells The Sun that she likes to work out first thing in the morning.“Going to the gym in the morning really calms my mind, and sets me up for the rest of the day.”

3. She Doesn’t Want To Set A Bad Example

After Felstead lost the baby weight, she was naturally asked how she did it. However, she tells The Sun that she doesn’t want other women to feel pressure to look like her. “So many mums say to me, ‘How did you get into shape so quickly?’. It’s so important for me to stress that I absolutely didn’t. Aside from the fact that it’s dangerous, it’s also not what being a new mum is all about. It’s a time to enjoy being a mum without any pressure of ‘getting back in shape’.”

4. She Works Out With A Personal Trainer

Felstead, like many, works out with a personal trainer. She tells The Sun that this has helped her work out a lot more consistently. “I wanted to feel better and had no idea where to start by myself. Everyone said ‘you’re going to get the fitness bug’, and I thought that’s NEVER going to be me, I just tolerate it. But after a few months of training once or twice a week, I found myself looking forward to the sessions. I noticed a new confidence.”

5. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

Felstead tells HealthWellBeing.com that she and her personal trainer like to do a lot of different exercises. “I do high intensity bodyweight workouts nearly every day with Tyrone,” she says. “He got me back to where I am after having India. We mix it up with strength and high intensity because I like getting a sweat on. Tyrone does yoga and Pilates too, but I’m more of a ‘go for it’ girl.”

1. She Works Out Early When Filming

“When I’m away filming, I try to wake up early so I can fit in a workout before arriving on set. It helps get me in the zone,” she has said. “Early-morning cardiovascular workouts are well-supported to improve concentration and energy for the rest of the day. They also may have the added benefit of improving sleep quality for some people,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Think of something that will really get you moving every day. Maybe it takes posting a picture from your healthier days on the fridge. Or perhaps you wish to keep up with the kids. Whatever it may be, make sure it gets you moving each and every time.”

2. This is How Often She Works Out

“'I have loads of energy so lately I’ve been trying to channel that into an exercise routine. But I’m still very much a beginner. I now work out three to four days a week because I know it’s an important part of keeping healthy,” she said, according to Women’s Health. “Here's what the research says: A single exercise session that gets your heartrate up can lower blood pressure, improve sleep, lower anxiety and improve insulin sensitivity on the day you do it. Other benefits, like lowering your risk of many chronic diseases and cancers, start adding up within days or weeks of regular physical activity,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Regular activity sets you up to stay independent as you age, and lowers your risk of fall-related injuries. For many people with chronic conditions, it can lower your risk of all-cause and disease-specific mortality.”

3. She Lifts Weights

Maya lifts weights to feel strong. “I love feeling strong, but I’m not naturally like that. From an early age I’d be trying to use my mum’s weight to do deep squats and build bigger legs,” Maya says to Stylist UK. “In the first lockdown, I lived with friends and we all worked out together. It was good because when one person wasn’t feeling it, the others would get you in the mood,” Maya adds. “It’s harder, now I’m on my own.”

4. She Incorporates Fitness Into Her Daily Life

“Every morning I put good music on and dance around my bedroom or run up and down the stairs. I’ve found wearing ankle weights really useful, putting on thick socks and weights while I do my daily activities for some extra resistance. And I’ve got a bike in front of my TV so I can jump on that when I’m watching something,” Maya told Stylist UK.

5. She Does Squats

“Once you are at the bottom of your squat, check your form in the mirror. Are you sitting parallel to the floor? As you stand up, push your heels into the ground to generate a greater force. This is especially helpful once you start adding more weight. Focus on squeezing your glutes at the top of the squat as you come back to a standing position. Look straight ahead to help keep your shoulders back and your back straight while performing the squat,” says ACE Fitness.
