In her Instagram post, Allen revealed that she decided to go on a retreat to help her take a break from her busy life. She writes, “It’s very difficult for me to totally switch off and not think about all the things I could be doing instead but I'm trying. I love being busy, I love working, I love training, I am always striving for more, thinking about the next thing and I don’t ever think I’ve done enough or deserve to fully switch off.”

2. She Does Bodyweight Exercises

Allen shared this video of herself doing lower body exercises in her hotel. In it, she does back lunge squats, lunge squats, forward bends, and squat pulses. She captioned the post, “No weights? No problem! There’s loads you can do to strengthen and sculpt your body using just your body weight, working with rep volume, tempo, pauses, pulses and time under tension. Save this for the next time you wanna work but have no equipment or limited space!”

4. She Goes To Fitness Classes

Allen opened up about her diet and fitness in an interview with Women Fitness. She says that she likes to go to fitness classes. “I love the underlying competitiveness of classes at certain studios so I try and get to class around 3 times a week. I also find classes fun and accessible. I try and vary with which style I do but it’s usually HIIT: dance cardio, total body, kettle bell classes or barre.”

5. She Stays Motivated

Allen shared her secrets for staying motivated to workout in her Women Fitness interview. She shared three things that keep her motivated. “Setting myself goals. Whether it be a job I have to be prepared for or a physical goal I want to reach within my training, I know it’s not going to happen without the work going into it. Keeping track of progress is important. Looking forward to the rewards! When you’ve worked hard on reaching your goals and you finally reap the rewards that’s something in itself to remember. Pride and success. Endorphins. The same as everyone, there have been many a time when I can’t find the energy to go to the gym but knowing that I will feel a hell of a lot better about myself after class or a session, most of the time, gives me the kick up the bum to get there.”

1. She Walks

Anderson loves to walk to stay in shape. She tells Checklists.co that this is something that is a big part of her life. “I’ve danced and pretty much walked anywhere since I was young,” she says. “And I carry that on now. I love walking my dog and going for runs to get my daily steps up. I eventually succumbed to an Apple Watch and now really notice a difference in my motivation now I can track my steps.”

2. She Works Out With Others

Anderson also likes to go to fitness classes to stay in shape. And she usually doesn’t go to those alone. “I try to book fitness classes with friends, too,” she says to Checklists. “As I enjoy working out more if I’ve someone to moan with.” Working out with friends can help people stay consistent, as you have to meet someone, and it is harder to cancel. Also, having someone else with you can help you stay motivated.

3. She Swims

Anderson loves to swim. She shares a lot of photos on Instagram of herself in the water. Whenever Anderson is at a hotel, she usually makes a stop at the building’s pool.

5. She’s All About Positivity

Anderson believes in spreading positivity. Especially when it comes to people on social media. She talked about this in regards to being a couple in the public eye in a video interview with Heatworld. “Everyone’s got their opinions,” Anderson starts. “It’s like, you’re genuinely heartbroken, and everyone’s like ‘It was fake anyway’ or whatever."

1. She Does Pilates

Gabriella loves doing pilates on the reformer. “It’s the best thing I’ve found for my body,” she told Women’s Health Australia. “I find that it’s kind of meditative when I do it, it’s not just, ‘Oh I’ve got to go work out now,’ it’s something I actually really enjoy. Ideally, I like to do reformer two to three times a week. That makes me feel great. And on the days I’m not doing it, I don’t feel like I need to exercise but if I do, it’s just something like a gentle walk. At one stage I was overdoing it and trying to go every day, just because I loved it so much, but I think my body actually resisted that and it just felt like a bit too much, so I pulled it back, which is better for my body.”

2. She Takes Supplements

Gabriella prioritizes self-care. One of the things she does? “I’ll‌ ‌usually‌ ‌get‌ ‌a‌ ‌massage‌ ‌at‌ ‌least‌ ‌once‌ ‌a‌ ‌month‌ ‌to‌ ‌release‌ ‌tension.‌ ‌I‌ ‌find‌ ‌it‌ ‌helps‌ ‌a‌ ‌lot‌ ‌with‌ ‌lymphatic‌ ‌drainage‌ ‌too,” she told Body + Soul.

4. She Takes Saunas

Gabriella also likes to turn up the heat. “I‌ ‌like‌ ‌to‌ ‌sauna‌ ‌after‌ ‌workouts,‌ ‌I‌ ‌haven't‌ ‌tried‌ ‌ice‌ ‌baths‌ ‌yet‌ ‌- but‌ ‌all‌ ‌my‌ ‌friends‌ ‌swear‌ ‌by‌ ‌them‌ ‌so‌ ‌I‌ ‌think‌ ‌that’s‌ ‌next‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌list‌ ‌to‌ ‌try,” she told Body + Soul.

5. She Listens to Her Body

When it comes to how often she works out, Gabriella lets her body dictate. “I‌ ‌listen‌ ‌to‌ ‌my‌ ‌body.‌ ‌My‌ ‌work‌ ‌schedule‌ ‌is‌ ‌all‌ ‌over‌ ‌the‌ ‌place‌ ‌so‌ ‌I‌ ‌fit‌ ‌in‌ ‌workouts‌ ‌where‌ ‌I‌ ‌can,‌ ‌and‌ ‌when‌ ‌I'm‌ ‌exhausted,‌ ‌I‌ ‌just‌ ‌let‌ ‌my‌ ‌body‌ ‌rest,” she told Body + Soul. ‌

6. She Prioritizes Mental Health

“Mental health is so important to me,” Gabriella told Vogue. “When I’m stressed or tired, I turn off my phone and have a magnesium salt bath to relax, light some candles and read in bed. The more I stay on top of my physical health—eating well, exercising, drinking enough water—the easier I find it to stay in a good place mentally.”

1. She Protects Her Skin

"I’ve tried so many different things for my skin, I feel like I’ve done things that are really bad, like I even started using sun beds and things like that, which were the worst thing I could have done, because they just scar your face. But now I constantly use a retinol and alway make sure in the morning, even in England, that I put a SPF on,” she told Heatworld. You should, too. What is SPF anyway? "So if you stand outside in a particular location and you're testing the sunscreen and it takes you 10 minutes to develop redness to the skin without the product on, but then you apply the product on a different area of skin and it takes 50 minutes for the skin to show redness, then that is an SPF factor of 50 over 10, which equals 5,” Dr. Dawn Davis, a Mayo Clinic dermatologist, says.

2. She Does Yoga

"Recently I’ve been doing yoga which I never liked in the past. I’ve always done quite high-intensity things such as running, HIT training or boxing, but since lockdown and with me being home a lot, I’ve been doing yoga before bed and it just makes me sleep a lot easier. A lot of the time, when I lie in bed, I can just be thinking of loads of things I need to do tomorrow and doing yoga before bed really helps,” she told Heatworld.

3. She Lost Weight

Allen lost weight and fans noticed. “I don’t get people being nasty in my DMs. Everyone’s really kind and I’m so grateful for my following,” she told the Daily Mail. “But I’ve had a couple of people messaging me about my weight and saying I edit it my photo. I’m like – hun – I’ve actually lost nearly 2st, so I am gonna look a bit different.”

4. High Intensity Workouts Can Burn Fat

High Intensity workouts, or HIIT, can be a great way to get sweaty. Try doing exercises that are performed in superset fashion. This means that you will do exercises 1a, then move immediately to 2a; rest for one minute, then repeat 1a & 2a again until you have done each circuit 3 times. After one circuit is complete, rest for two minutes and hydrate before moving on to the next circuit. Here's an example, from trainer Mark Langowski:

1a. Split Lunge with Biceps Curl: 12 reps each leg. For Men Use 15’s-25’s, For Women Use 5-10lb db’s.

Hold the weights at your side. Now, as if you were standing on a balance beam, with one foot in front of the other, separate your feet 2 feet apart. Inhale as you kneel down; your front knee should be at 90 degrees and back knee almost touches the ground. Sit down into the glute of your front leg. Exhale as you press back up to the starting position. Do 12 reps on that leg. Then repeat with the other leg.

2a. Chin-ups. If you can do at least 8 chin ups in a row: Do three sets of chin-ups, each set to failure.

If you cannot do at least 8 chin ups: Use the squat rack and do three sets of body rows. Position the bar at about chest height and grab it with an overhand grip, hands about shoulder-width apart. Scoot your legs forward until your body is at a 45-degree angle to the ground and your weight is resting on your heels. Now pull yourself up until your chest touches the bar, then lower yourself back down. 12 reps.

5. She Feels “in Tune” With Herself Like Never Before

“2021 I’ve never felt this in-tune with myself like I do currently, I know who my friends are I know what my goals are and I feel empowered for it! I’m sure like me, many of us have lost ourselves time to time but I can promise without struggle there is no success and you can’t enjoy the good if you have never experienced the bad,” she has said.
