Alix prioritizes hydration. She keeps a plastic water bottle filled with H2O whenever she is exercising. According to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine men should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day and women about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids.

2. She Fuels Up with Healthy and Nourishing Meals

Alix makes sure to fuel her body with healthy and nourishing meals. One of her favorite restaurants is Pura Vida in Miami. For breakfast she might eat boiled eggs with avocado toast. She also loves meat, bagels, pasta, tacos, and sushi. Her “go to meal everyday” is an egg omelet, avocado slices, and tomatoes.

3. Ice Cream Is Her Guilty Pleasure

Alix has a guilty pleasure: Ice cream. She regularly indulges in a cone or cup, sharing the photos on her Instagram Stories.

4. She Loves Fresh Produce

Alix makes healthy eating fun. “Farmer’s Market Wednesday,” is a regular part of her week, when she stocks up on healthy fruits and veggies and eats acai bowls loaded with antioxidants.

5. She Rides Bikes

Living in Miami, Alix regularly gets around via a bike. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

6. She Battles Acne

Alix has been very open about her battles with acne. "I thought that my life was over, and I thought it was never gonna get better," she said, giving followers an update on her journey with Accutane. "If I can post that online for millions of people to see, then you can leave your house, you can go to class, you can go to the grocery store, you're fine."

Rose Ayling-Ellis, the EastEnders star and winner of 2021’s Strictly Come Dancing (not to mention its first deaf contestant), knows how to relax. She and a group of TV personality pals— Sara Davies, John Whaite, Rhys Stephenson, Maisie Smith and Tilly Ramsay—visited the luxury Skuna Boats at West India Quay dock in London, and documented their time on Instagram—”on the hot tub boat,” as they captioned one image. How does she stay so together?

1. She Hits the Spa

The spa boat is not the first time Ayling-Ellis has been pampered. "Just what I needed," she captioned another post after winning Strictly, at a spa. Consider getting a massage yourself. “​​Massage is generally considered part of integrative medicine,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Medical centers are offering it more and more as a treatment along with standard treatment. It may be used for a wide range of medical conditions.

Studies of massage benefits have found massage can:

• Help reduce stress
• Lessen pain and muscle tension
• Increase relaxation
• Improve immune function.”

2. She Has Weight Trained, Sort Of

In order to stay in shape for Strictly, Ayling-Ellis had to exercise. "Pre-show warm-up is very important," wrote one of the show’s producers, sharing an image of her dance partner, Giovanni Pernice, holding her up high. "Even our weights are glamorous," he joked. "I'm just a human weight,” Ayling-Ellis added, when reporting the image.

3. Her Dancing Was Cardio

“It’s a lot of jumping off the ground, I’m going to be so out of breath!” she told the Guardian about Strictly. High intensity workouts like that are great for you. Rapid-fire workouts supercharge your body in countless ways. Unlike doing “steady-state” cardio, in which you head out for a leisurely jog or casually climb a Stairmaster, high-intense workouts ignite your body’s stress response. Everything from your blood pressure to your heart rate spikes. Your immune system and central nervous system kick into high gear. You start inhaling more and more oxygen to spread to your cells. Blood starts flowing to your muscles and your body instantly start burning up all of that glucose in your blood—meaning you’ll stave off weight-gain and bring your endocrine system back into the balance. Physically speaking, it’s the closest thing you can do to running into a phone booth and emerging afterwards with a cape and giant “S” on your chest.

4. She May Have Been Able to Feel the Music

“How is it possible that a person who is deaf can dance to music they can’t actually hear? To learn how to dance, the brain views the actions of others moving to music and combines this with careful counting,” write researchers Helen E. Nuttall and Kate Slade about Ayling-Ellis. “Many people without hearing loss also do this when learning a dance – the steps are taught to beats or counts, which are then practised before being put to music. For someone with hearing loss, while the appreciation of the music differs, the learning through observation and counting is similar. In addition, the tactile information provided through music is very helpful for people with hearing loss. Instead of listening to music, a person who is deaf may feel the music, literally sensing the vibrations through their body.”

5. The Pandemic Has Been Hard

Ayling-Ellis is used to reading lips. Now: "Everyone is wearing masks, everyone is social distanced. So, before people wouldn't wear their masks and they would come up close to me so I can see their face and lip read. But now everyone is wearing masks and staying well away, so I can't understand everyone. So it's quite hard.” During filming of Strictly, “luckily everyone here is very, very nice, and they adapt to what I need. I have an interpreter with me at all times, so they translate anything. But sometimes when she's not there, the cast take their masks off and keep their distance from me….And now they're picking up signing and learning some bits. They're becoming a bit more dextrous, more expression. And that's really, really helped a lot. Everyone is really nice and opened minded and trying their hardest. It helps a lot.”

Ellis is an avid hiker. She posts a lot of hiking highlights on Instagram. She shared this set from a hike in Laguna Aperon. Ellis captioned the post, “4,200m high, 26km long, 37,000 step, 10hrs dealing with altitude for the first time and battling against the sand flies. Definitely the toughest walk I’ve ever done. But I did it for my Granddad, it was his passion and love of hiking that kept me going. Despite knowing how much I dislike hiking growing up!”

2. She Learned To Dance

Ellis, like many other of her Eastenders co-stars, was a contestant on the popular reality series, Strictly Come Dancing last year. She and her partner, Giovani Pernice, ended up winning the series, making Ellis the first deaf contestant to win the program. In this post on Instagram announcing herself as a contestant, Ellis opened up about joining the show. “If you had told me one year ago that I would be on Strictly Come Dancing, I would have laughed in your face! I am still pinching myself, it doesn't seem real.”

3. She Uses Muscle Memory

Pernice opened up about his partnership with Ellis on the Strictly talk show, It Takes Two. Pernice revealed how Ellis remembers choreography. “We just now focus on the muscle memory more than relate it to the music,” he explained. “So in her brain there is still counting but remembering what she has to do.”

4. She Advocates For Representation

Rose -Ayling-Ellis/Instagram

Ellis played a deaf character on Eastenders, and she is fighting for representation for the hearing impared community. She opened up about it to the Edinburgh TV Festival. “How is a young deaf actor supposed to get their foot in the door, when the door is firmly shut on them from the start? It’s time for deaf staff to be brought into the scripting process if they want to be realistic. They will write my characters who are in a room with a big group of people arguing with each other, following everything that is being said and even repeating things back to them. Or they will write my character as lipreading someone from impossibly far away – like I have a superpower, which is not realistic at all. I am playing a deaf character that is either written as a hearing person or as a deaf stereotype.”

5. She Kayaks

Ellis loves to go kayaking. She shared this photo on Instagram for International Women’s Day. Ellis captioned the post, “Here’s a photo of me that resonates deeply with me as, for me, the photo represents me being a woman. It is about being fragile but fierce. Strong but vulnerable. Kind but wild. Resilient but gentle. You can be who you want to be. Own it!”
