To get into Pamela Anderson shape for Pam and Tommy, Lily trained like it was her job. "I worked with this amazing trainer, Matt Bevan, who worked with Daisy Ridley as well. He worked me so hard and I got really fit,” she tells Entertainment Weekly. She did a mixture of running and boxing. "He would make me do all my work and reading my script on a running machine," she says "And I did boxing with a really cool guy in LA, which I loved too, being physically strong like I could literally beat someone up,” she continued. "I felt really athletic, which I hadn’t done for a long time and there was great confidence that came from that... I feel less self-conscious on a beach now. It was really wonderful to feel like that, to feel so in my own body."

2. She Lifts Weights

To get into shape for Fast Girls in 2012, in which she played athlete Lisa Temple, she also trained hard, using a lot of weights. "It was very intense – we had about six weeks of training before the film even started,” she tells Cosmopolitan UK. "We trained five times a week; running, circuits, weights, working out in the gym, and on the track. It was an insane time." She added: "When I first had to lift weights, do squats and run for ten minutes I was knackered and wanted to be sick."

3. She Works Out in the Morning

Lily prefers morning workouts. J“I have found that starting my day with exercise is the key. When I work out regularly, I immediately feel the benefits. It’s exciting to be empowered by that, and it turns into a domino effect. Naturally, I start eating better and stop drinking so much wine. Then I feel more energised in the morning to work out again,” she tells Shape.

4. She Does a Lot of Ab Work

If you want flat abs like Lily, you are going to have to crunch for them. "I got really obsessed with sit-ups! Whenever the Director shouted 'cut!' I was there on the floor pounding them out", she tells Cosmo about Fast Girls. "We had to do like 600 different types of sit-ups a day so my stomach changed the most, you just end up looking healthier and stronger."

5. She Follows Strict Diets

Lily also follows strict diets when prepping for roles. "On top of the fitness and the health, we also had a diet plan we had to follow which involved eating between five and six meals a day that were really high in protein, so that meant lots of protein shakes, fish, chicken and no cheating," she tells Cosmo about Fast Girls.

6. She Rides Bikes

Lily loves riding bikes. “I also just started cycling again,” James te;;s Shape. I cycled everywhere when I moved to London, until my bike got stolen. Then I started taking Ubers. Recently, I got my bike back, and that’s been such a gift. It’s my bit of freedom to ride without having any direction stuck in my mind. It helps me stop overthinking and just connect myself to the present.”

7. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

“In lockdown, I had to make exercising fun; otherwise I would lose interest,” James told Shape. I switched up my normal yoga and Pilates for daily dance classes. Early on, I learned this fun dance routine and couldn’t stop doing it. The next day, my neighbour called saying, ‘Oh my God, Lily, you played that song for three and a half hours,’” Lily tells Shape. “Finding that fun is the main thing for me now. I know I have to stay fit, and I know working out is good for me. But when it actually makes me feel better, rather than just something I’m forcing myself to do, it’s such a difference.”

1. She Has Learned to Love Herself

“HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY ✨ Today is a day where we can celebrate us. I have so many women in my life who inspire me every day and I wanted to give a little something today that can hopefully inspire one of you. Loving our imperfections can be difficult, but when you learn to embrace them and realise that our imperfections don’t define us, they are just a part of us alongside everything else that creates you as a person. None of us are the same, and that’s a special thing. We are one of a kind 🤍 This picture shows me at my most vulnerable… but I’m learning to love myself, imperfections and all. And so should you,” she wrote once.

2. She Was Once “Unhealthily Skinny”

"I went from a size 10 to a six, and it’s the smallest I’ve ever been as a young adult. Because of my height, this made me look unhealthily skinny, of which I was (not eating barely anything, feeling ill all the time, tired, dizzy) and I remember looking at myself, I’d lost my boobs and my bum and those curves I once had and I missed them,” she wrote on Instagram. "The point of this [is], since coming out of Love Island, I found my love for food again and yes I’m getting back to my usual size."

3. She Likes a Nice Bath

“Drowning my sorrows in the bath because my Met Gala invite got lost 💔…,” she captioned one recent photo. Consider adding Epsom salt. “Pour about 300 grams (1.25 cups) of Epsom salt into a clean bathtub as it fills with hot water. (Avoid using Epsom salt in a tub with jets, a hot tub or a whirlpool bath unless the manufacturer says it’s OK.),” says the Cleveland Clinic.

4. This is Her Skin Icon

"At the moment the make-up I use does change fairly often, not necessarily my staples like concealer and foundation, but I do switch up the bronzers, blushers and mascara that I use,” she has said. Her icon? "Meghan Markle, her skin is absolutely flawless – her make-up always looks lovely as her make-up always looks lovely and natural."

5. She Has Had Acne

“I suffered from acne about a year and a half ago and then I started to work with a skin aesthetician, who helped me to find my skincare routine and helped me to start dealing with the breakouts. Now that my acne has gone, we are on more of a journey to find the right products; doing treatments like microneedling once a month to deal with the scarring. I am so happy with the outcome because the difference from what it was to now is just incredible. I genuinely used to think there was never going to be a time when I could get rid of the acne and I think when you are suffering you think it’s going to be with you forever. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t an overnight process – it took me a year and a half to be acne free, but through a good skincare routine and using the right products it can be combated. My skin aesthetician advised me that the products you use to treat acne don’t start working for 4-6 months, so it took six months before I started to see a difference. The secret to good skin is also about good lifestyle, it’s all about looking after the inside to make your skin glow,” she told Hello.

In order to prepare for her role as Pamela Anderson, James turned to personal trainer, Matt Bevan, to help her get in shape. She says that Bevan helped her out a lot. “Matt’s workouts changed my life,” she tells Women’s Health. “I felt more energetic, positive, and able to get into the right mindset to get through long filming days and a lot of pressure. I honestly looked forward to every session, which was a huge surprise for me.”

2. She Trains Virtually

Bevan revealed some of James’ training secrets to Vogue. He says that they did a lot of virtual sessions together, which helped them be consistent. “Virtual training allows a client to take an hour of their day for themselves, even without leaving the house,” Bevan adds.

3. She Eats A Balanced Diet

When it comes to James’ diet, Bevan had her eating healthy, but he also didn’t want to restrict her. He tells Vogue that he wants his clients to have a balanced diet. “I worked out her calorific needs and then sent her a couple of weeks of sample menus with some recipes in, and Lily took ownership. We stuck to three meals a day and a couple of snacks. I don’t like anyone to be limiting what they love, so she was allowed to have a treat or two weekly.”

4. She’s Committed

Bevan tells Vogue that James is extremely committed to staying in shape. “All I asked when we began was that she did the best she could and she turned up time after time with the best intention to work hard and give it her all. It can be difficult to change physically without real commitment—particularly with a goal like Pamela Anderson! But we trained consistently, and that’s exactly what we did.”

5. She Sets Goals

Bevan tells Women’s Health that he set goals for James to accomplish. “Specific goals are very important and I feel a lot of failures when it comes to training are because they’re not set,” he explains. “Our routine was structured into four phases consisting of four weeks, and each phase would follow a similar pattern." "Goals for weight loss can focus on outcomes or the process. An outcome goal — what you hope to achieve in the end — might be to lose a certain amount of weight. While this goal may give you a target, it doesn't address how you will reach it," says the Mayo Clinic. "A process goal is a necessary step to achieving a desired outcome. For example, a process goal might be to eat five servings of fruits or vegetables a day, to walk 30 minutes a day, or to drink water at every meal. Process goals may be particularly helpful for weight loss because you focus on changing behaviors and habits that are necessary for losing weight."

That’s good news, because this hormone that’s boosted by exposure to sunlight plays an important role in women’s health,” says Johns Hopkins.

“Beaches provide many recreational opportunities for millions of people. Boating, fishing, swimming, walking, beachcombing, bird-watching, playing and sunbathing are among the common activities beachgoers enjoy. Beaches provide protection to residents living near the ocean by acting as a buffer against the high winds and waves of powerful storms or rough seas,” says the EPA.
