Her Workouts Focus on "Quality Over Quantity"
Brooke makes her workouts count. "When I train, the focus is on quality, over quantity, so I do three one-hour gym sessions each week. I'll do 45 minutes of weight work such as barbell squats, overhead presses and back extensions, which I love, plus 10-15 minutes of track work with the sled and prowler, which is hard but great cardio," she told Women's Health.
She Eats Healthy
Brooke loves fast food, but tries to eat as healthy as possible. "I support my training with a healthy diet. I used to live off McDonalds, Nandos and takeaway pizza but since doing my 12-week Ultimate Performance transformation, I've changed my attitude towards food," she told Women's Health. "Now I start the day with a two-egg omelette with brown sauce – because I don't really like eggs; have smashed avocado on sourdough, or a chicken salad for lunch; and eat salmon or steak with vegetables for dinner. If I'm hungry between meals, I'll snack on fruit or have a chocolate whey protein shake or Grenade bar."
This Is How She Motivates Herself to Exercise
Brooke has a clever way to motivate herself to exercise. "If I need motivation, I think of how great exercising and eating well make me feel – I no longer feel sluggish in the morning but instead, I'm spritely all day, and my skin is dewier. I always used to think my legs were massive but now they've got definition and are strong. I'm proud to have them. I'll also pump up the tunes – feel-good tracks from Beyonce, Ellie Goulding and Stormzy keep me going during a workout," she told Women's Health.
She Still Indulges
Brooke still allows herself cheat meals. "It wouldn't be three takeaways in 24 hours, it might be just two," she told The Sun about her old diet. "I can't even lie and say I don't have fast food any more, because I had two McDonald's last weekend."
She Pushes Herself
To get in shape for Dancing on Ice, Brooke enlisted the help of Mark Bohannon, personal trainer at Ultimate Performance Manchester, who created a three month long program for her. Her maintains that she always pushed herself. "Throughout her twelve-week transformation, one of Brooke's best qualities was wanting to always better herself, even on the days when she wasn't feeling one hundred per cent," he told Confidentials. "Brooke wanted to work that little bit harder and lift that little bit more in every session. It helps get the best transformation possible in the time-frame when clients have this determined attitude towards training."
