Mary Bedford is steaming up the Phi Phi Islands in Thailand – with her amazing body. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty flaunts her impressive physique in a bikini as she lounges poolside at a luxe resort. “Exploring 🏝️🗺️🔭🌊,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Gorgeous,” commented one of her followers. “Wow wow wow,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Daily Strength Training
In an Instagram Story, Mary revealed that she hits the gym for strength training almost every day. “5/5 gym days done this week and my legs are like jelly walking out,” she wrote. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:
- Develop strong bones
- Manage your weight
- Enhance your quality of life
- Manage chronic conditions
- Sharpen your thinking skills
MyFitness Pal
Mary is all about staying accountable when it comes to her diet. She detailed her approach in a video on her YouTube channel, explaining that she logs all of the food she eats in a day and her workouts with the help of apps. "I do use MyFitness Pal to track all my food," she says. "Then it's just easy. I can work out."
No Carb or Fat Tracking

Mary keeps track of calories and proteins but avoids tracking other things. "I'm not tracking my carbs or my fats really at the minute," she revealed in her YouTube video. "Before I used to be really strict about it, and I'd just be tired all the time."
Coffee
Mary is a coffee lover. “I like coffee more than most people,” she revealed on Instagram. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.
Workout Buddies
One way Mary keeps herself accountable at the gym? Workout buddies. In another YouTube video, Bedford explains why sweat sessions with pals can be very effective. "She pushes me hard," Bedford says.
