Dawson opened up about her health tips to Closer Online. She says that she likes to do dance-based cardio workouts at home to stay in shape. Dawson even has her own dance cardio exercise program. “I hate the idea of running on a treadmill or being among super-fit girls at the gym,” she says. “I found a brilliant dance workout online that I could do during Noah’s naps. I did it most days for 20-30 minutes and I’ve literally shaken my belly off while being daft in my living room.”

2. She Wants To Live A Healthier Life

Dawson is open about what caused her to change her lifestyle. She says that she wants to avoid certain health conditions, specifically diabetes.“Messages from my followers on social media were flooding in saying, ‘You really need to stop eating like that, you could end up with type 2 diabetes’, plus my mum was diagnosed with the condition in June last year and that was a wake-up call,” she told Closer. “After blood tests, my doctor said, ‘If you carry on eating like this for another two months, you’ll be on insulin, you need to change your diet’. I called Matthew and burst out crying.”

3. She Stays Motivated

Dawson opens up about her fitness journey on her social media accounts. She revealed in the caption of this reel how she stays motivated to workout. Dawson says that she tries to not expect immediate results, and thinks about her family to stay healthy. “They say it takes a month to change a habit, but I reckon it takes longer than that. I had a serious plateau in the middle of my fitness journey and almost felt like giving up. I thought like - maybe this is how I’m meant to be? But I stuck in there - just kept thinking of all the reasons I had to get in shape - Noah, Matthew, my mental health… Plus I wanted to be able to wear all my too glam to give a chuffin damn outfits with confidence!!”
