1. She Lifts Weights

Ashley revealed to Coach magazine that weight lifting is her go-to workout. “Lifting gets my heart rate up and makes me look amazing, but more importantly it makes me feel strong. Scrap that, I don’t just feel strong – I am strong, and I think it’s important for women to feel that way. The only thing I don’t like about it are the callused hands. They suck. I went back to LA recently and didn’t do any weight training for a while and it was the first time in ages that I didn’t have hands that looked like I’d been working in construction,” she said.

2. She Mixes in Lots of Other Workouts

Ashley also sweats via a variety of other ways. “I love spin, I love yoga, I love boxing, weight training, dancing. And oh my god I'm obsessed right now with this class at the XR; it’s the best cardio and the music! They have the best playlist and if you close your eyes, it's like you’re in Mykonos or something,” she told Express UK.

3. She Eats (Mostly) Vegan

Ashley keeps animal products to a minimum. “I’m pretty much a vegan now, but I don’t think having to eat that informed my decision – not consciously at least. I try to have a good diet,” she told Coach. “Every now and then I’ll have a treat, but I love most healthy foods so it’s not as if I’m depriving myself. My trainer sometimes worries I’m not getting enough protein, but I have vegan protein smoothies to make up for the lack of meat and fish.”

4. This Is Her Go-To Green Smoothie

Ashley drinks this green smoothie almost every morning. “Most mornings I blend up a bunch of organic greens, such as kale and spinach, add some raw fruit such as banana, avocado and blueberries, then finish it off with some almond milk and maybe some agave if my sweet tooth needs satisfying. Finally, I add some vegan protein powder to ensure I hit my quota for the day. Try it. Even if you’re not vegan I guarantee you’ll love it,” she told Coach.

5. She Works Out for Physical AND Mental Health

Ashley doesn’t workout only to look good. “For me, I enjoy working out for my physical health but to be honest it’s more for my mental health, it just makes me feel better and it gets the endorphins going,” she told Express.

6. She Walks

Ashley makes sure to get her heartrate up, even on days she isn’t in the gym. “Even if there is a day where I am not working out hard, I try to get outside and just go for a walk and be in nature. It is a part of my life and I enjoy it and it makes me feel good,” she told Express.

7. She Prioritizes Hydration

Ashley maintains that one “overlooked” secret for health is hydration. “Coming from the desert, we have to drink water to stay hydrated. It is so overlooked in a sense but drinking lots of water is really good to stay hydrated, to stay flushed, and to stay healthy. Drink the H2O kids!” she told Express.

1. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Roberts has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared her tips in an interview with A Life With Frills. “I am diligent with my skincare. I always wash my face before bed and moisturise. Everyday I put on Vitamin C Serum by SkinCeuticals too. When I travel, I make sure to see facialist and aesthetician Jo-Anne Newman. Her treatments have done wonders for my skin!

2. She Drinks Enough Water

Roberts makes sure to stay hydrated. She tells A Life With Frills that this helps with her skin. “I also drink a lot of water. I feel that it is the easiest way to hydrate your skin and flush out toxins.” Harvard Health states that drinking water has a lot of benefits. “Drinking enough water each day is crucial for many reasons: to regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, prevent infections, deliver nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly. Being well-hydrated also improves sleep quality, cognition, and mood.”

3. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Roberts does a lot of things to stay in shape. She listed some of her favorites in an interview with GetTheGloss. “After work, if the sun is shining, I head to the park and take a walk in nature,” she says. “Then I either do a Tabata style circuit workout at the park where I get my heart rate pumping or I train with personal trainer Dalton Wong over Zoom, with his mini bands and sliders to make the exercises extra intense. When studios are open I love spinning. I go to Boom Cycle, it’s one of my favourite studios.”

4. She Got Her Love Of Exercise From Her Mother

Roberts loves to work out. She tells GetTheGloss that she has this attitude because of her mother. “I love exercise,” she says. “It’s not only for my physical health, but it’s for my mental health, so it’s very important to me. My mom was a personal trainer when I was younger. She did step aerobics in the 80s, so it’s kind of set in stone that it’s part of my lifestyle. Even when I go home and visit her – which has been a while – we do yoga classes and hike together.”

5. She Dances

Dance is a big part of Roberts’ life. She is a live performer, she grew up dancing, she appeared on Strictly, and she hosts a dance show. She tells GetTheGloss that dance isn’t just a good workout for her, but a way to boost her energy. “When you’re feeling low, put on some music and just wiggle your body,” she says. “Even if you’re not feeling up for exercising, if you do some kind of movement it gets the endorphins going. That was something I did naturally, but as I’ve got older dance isn’t necessarily part of my life like it was before. If you’re feeling a bit low, put on some music, bounce around, and not to quote Taylor Swift but ‘Shake It Off’ and I’m telling you, you’ll feel better, even after just one song.”

Singer, actress, and TV personality Ashley Roberts, best known for The Pussycat Dolls and Strictly Come Dancing, is enjoying time by the beach.

In the post, Roberts is seen posing by the water and in the ocean, while wearing a strapless white bathing suit. “Oh- man you have my 🤍,” she captioned it. How does she stay so fit?

1. She Gets Moving Every Day

For Roberts, staying active is an important part of her lifestyle, and something that she loves to do. She says that she tries to exercise every day, even if it’s something quick and simple. “If I have the time I will try to do something active every day,” Roberts told The Daily Star. “I like the way I feel after – how alive I feel.”

2. She Eats A Balanced Diet

Roberts opened up about her diet to The Sun, where she says that she is a believer in a balanced diet and moderation. “I try to live life in balance because I feel like if you go to one extreme or the other sometimes it doesn't maintain,” she said. “I feel like it's important to eat healthy food because it fuels your body, it fuels your brain.” Roberts says that she puts one day a week aside to indulge, and she has a particular favorite food to indulge in. “I just love a good pizza - and I just think having a pizza a week is all really within balance.”

3. She Doesn’t Pressure Herself

Roberts tells The Sun that a big part of her wellness routine is not pressuring herself. Especially when she decides to give into her cravings. “If I want to have a pizza I'm like, 'I'm going to go and enjoy this' and not go and beat myself up - I just enjoy it and let the thoughts be that I'm going to enjoy it and then I feel like the body will digest it more easily."

4. She Mixes It Up

When it comes to working out, Roberts loves variety. She tells The Sun that she does a lot of different things to stay in shape. "I really resonate with dancing but I love yoga, I love spinning, I love dancing and I love boxing,” she said.

5. She Works With a Trainer

Roberts tells Coach Magazine that she prefers to do intense gym sessions with a personal trainer. She says that having someone else there challenges her to do better and work harder. “I go to a gym called W10 and the trainers there are more hardcore than any class instructor, which I love. As far as I’m concerned, anything that doesn’t challenge you doesn’t change you. I need someone to really push me to motivate me. If I go to the gym by myself it’s impossible to train as hard.”
