1. She Was Determined To Recover

Nobbs notably suffered from an injury that forced her to miss out on the 2019 World Cup. She opened up about the mental state she needed to have to recover in an interview with Women’s Health. “If I sit for quite a long time with my knee bent then it takes me a little while to move it again. Rehabilitation is a mental challenge – when you start running and putting more impact into it you are obviously a little bit sore the next day but then it gets better. It’s just a process that you have to accept and try to power through it.”

2. She Does TRX

Nobbs opened up about her favorite workouts in an interview with BESTFIT Magazine. In it, she shared some of the things she did to help her recover from an injury. “I’m back fit now and TRX has played a huge part,” Nobbs says. “I use it every day for very specific movements and exercises that not only helped me back to recovery, but which continue to keep me sharp.”

3. She Works Her Lower Body

Nobbs tells BESTFIT Magazine that she makes sure to work her lower body. “I do a lot of active movements that involved the whole body,” she says. “So things like going from a back lunge into a side lunge, which sits well with my running technique.” AceFitness.org states that having a strong lower body is important. “Contrary to popular belief, having shapely glutes isn’t all about appearance or vanity. Having a strong rear-end not only helps improve posture and athletic performance, and reduce knee and back pain, it can significantly enhance injury prevention as well. Here’s what you need to know about strengthening this essential group, along with eight super-effective exercises that will both strengthen and tone the glutes.”

4. She Does Planks

Nobbs has an amazing set of abs, and she makes sure to do core workouts. She shared her favorites to BESTFIT Magazine. “I also do a lot of plank work, which is great for the core.” Planks are very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic states, “Plank exercises work your core muscles, which are located between your pelvic floor and diaphragm. The area is also known as your trunk. These muscles support your movements and stabilize the spine.”

5. She Has Balance

Nobbs opened up about how she changed her outlook after her injury to The Athletic. She says that she has more balance in her life now. “Maybe just to relax a little bit. I let football take over me. It can affect me after a game or after a training session because I am competitive. I do love winning. I put high standards on myself and sometimes need to remember that I have achieved a lot and not be so hard on myself. My standards and my drive make me a bit football-crazy and there are other things in life.”

And then breastfeeding and Moa getting [bigger] inside of me, she took a lot of my body fat. I lost a lot of muscle during my pregnancy, but I was almost able to start from zero again. … But then, just staying focused and seeing how I didn’t want to get back to where I was before. I’m way more focused. I want to win my fights. I want to do good. I want to have good performances. And having someone depend on you, my daughter, it’s not just me. … I’m getting muscle, I’m working my strength training, and I’m keeping my body fat low. I’m in a way better place now, thankfully.”

Go for a walk with the dogs. Go watch the sunset. Maybe go to a Brazilian barbecue at night with the family, have some steak.”

3. She Does Functional Training

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.

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 Went to Extreme Measures Prior to Love Island

Ellie went on an extreme diet before appearing on Love Island, spending two-and-a-half hours a day in the gym for the two months. “I hired a personal trainer for weight training, then would spend the rest sweating away on the treadmill,” she told The Sun. "A health coach is your personal health cheerleader, guide and partner. They help you implement lifestyle changes to improve your physical health," says the Cleveland Clinic. "The service is often available through corporate wellness programs. Your doctor may also recommend health coaching if you have a chronic health issue like diabetes. Or, you may hire a health coach to help you achieve a wellness goal like getting fit."

2. All She Ate Was Fish and Veggies

She also kept her diet clean, staying away from any sugar, dairy, or carbohydrates, eating white fish and vegetables “about five times a day,” and eliminating fruit. "If you're worried about your heart health, eating at least two servings of fish per week could reduce your risk of heart disease," says the Mayo Clinic. "For many years, the American Heart Association has recommended that people eat fish rich in unsaturated fats at least twice a week. The unsaturated fats in fish are called omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce inflammation throughout the body. Inflammation can damage your blood vessels, and lead to heart disease and strokes."

3. She Quit Drinking Too

To lose weight, she also quit drinking for a whopping eight weeks. Since alcohol is high in calories anyone who is trying to lose weight should consider cutting down or eliminating it completely. "Decide not to drink a day or two each week. You may want to abstain for a week or a month to see how you feel physically and emotionally without alcohol in your life. Taking a break from alcohol can be a good way to start drinking less," advises Harvard Health.

4. It “Wasn’t Sustainable”

Ellie couldn’t stick to her drastic diet and exercise routine. “I looked amazing, but that diet really isn’t sustainable. I’d end some days completely exhausted because my body wasn’t getting all the nutrients it needed — and, of course, the meals became SO boring,” she told The Sun. After the show she “put on a stone or so,” and was body shamed by trolls but she is happier. “What the shamers need to realise is that there's a difference between someone who is unhealthy and overweight, and someone who's just a normal size,” she told The Sun. “I'm perfectly fit and happy now — just as I was before Love Island.”

5. She Does Barry’s Bootcamp Workouts

Ellie is one of the many stars who swear by Barry’s Bootcamp workouts, a high intensity interval training class conducted in a bootcamp like setting. There is lots of Research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.
