1. She Hula Hoops

While she was preparing for her wedding, Shepherd did a lot of things to lose weight, which she revealed in an interview with The Sun. One exercise she liked to do was hula-hoop. “I’ve always been about a 27 inch waist, but recently I lost a bit of weight and last time I measured I was 26 inches,” she said. “This will sound weird, but I’ve got a hula hoop indoors, I’m really good at hula hooping, and it’s great for your waist".

2. She Does At-Home Workouts

Not everyone has time to go to the gym. And not everyone likes going to the gym, Shepherd included. To help herself stay in shape in a way that she likes, Shepherd does at-home workouts. “I’ve never been one of those people who likes to go to the gym", she said to The Sun. "But there are always bits I want to tone like my belly, arms and legs, so I do regular squats around the house and sit-ups.”

3. She Cut Back On Alcohol

Shepherd tells The Sun that she has cut back on alcohol to stay healthy. She says that she wanted to get rid of the empty calories, and doesn’t have time to go to bars like she used to. "Don't get me wrong, I love a prosecco or a white wine. I'll still have a few drinks, but nothing like what I used to. Back in the day you'd be out three times a week and now it's once a month if you're lucky."

4. She Did A Juice Cleanse

One way Shepherd stayed in shape for her wedding and bachelorette party, was by going on a juice cleanse. However, she tells The Sun that it wasn’t a typical juice cleanse. She says that she still ate while on it, just made homemade juices with her meals and throughout the day. "Before the hen do"—that's what they call bachelorette parties in the UK—"I did a three-day juice detox. I didn't just juice, I still ate with it. But I felt like it cleansed me.”

5. She Paddleboards

Shepherd and her family love to spend time outside. One of the things they like to do is go to the beach or the lake. Shepherd loves to go paddleboarding when she is by the water. She posted this set of photos on Instagram of herself paddleboarding in Silverlake. She captioned the post, “Loving life out on the lake.”
