Alison used to do a lot of cardio but switched things up to get in shape for Glow. “I really wanted to gain strength and muscle mass, so the first thing I did was cut out most of my cardio,” Alison told Well + Good.“Alison received enough conditioning from the work we were doing with weights,” her trainer, Jason Walsh, added.

2. She Lifts Heavy Weighs

Alison maintains that lifting weights has helped her achieve her best body ever and has also given her self-confidence. “Heavy lifting is so empowering — you really feel like a badass,” she said. “By the time we were shooting the show, I was deadlifting 165 pounds, hip thrusting up to 300 pounds, and doing multiple sets of 10 pull-ups.”

3. She Hikes

Alison is incredibly outdoorsy and loves hiking. “Don’t question the hiking attire,” she captioned a post. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” says the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

4. She Uses a VersaClimber

Alison maintains she is “eating constantly” fueling her training session with protein, veggies, and good fats, her trainer told Well + Good. “A lot of women, especially in my profession, feel like they have to starve themselves to lose weight,” she explained. “I’ve certainly felt that way in the past. But while training for the show, I was eating more than ever and I’ve never felt better.”
