Jama makes skincare a priority. She revealed some of her secrets to WhoWhatWear. Jama says that she uses face masks from her collection of products. “If you've had a long day or late night, you're a bit run down or you just want to have a bit of a pamper, then the masks are perfect."

2. She Doesn’t Use Too Many Products

Jama tells WhoWhatWear that she tries to not put too many products on her skin. She says that she opts for a simpler approach. “In the morning, I try and use only a couple of products. I feel like when I use toners and everything else it doesn't really agree with me, so I'm more of a cleanser, cream, face mask kind of girl.”

3. She Uses Sunscreen

Jama makes sure to protect her skin from the sun. She tells WhoWhatWear that she always uses sunscreen. “Because it's so bloody hot in London at the moment, I'm using an SPF. I know that I need to use it every day, but I'm new to the SPF life. I had a struggle with them for years because sun cream would always just make me look really white, but now, I know they're getting better.”

4. She Changed Habits To Help With Her Skin

For Jama, skincare isn’t just about using products. She tells WhoWhatWear that she changed some of her regular habits to help herself out. “I realised that when I cut down a lot on sugar, my skin got way less spotty. I used to be eating ice cream pretty much every day and then I stopped doing that, and I stopped getting forehead spots! And just not touching your face as much… making sure your phone screen is clean and your pillowcases and stuff. I didn't even realise that was a thing, but I take more notice of what I'm putting up to my face now.”

5. She Prioritizes Her Workouts

Jama has a busy schedule, which means she doesn’t always have time to workout on a regular basis. However, she tells Women’s Health that she makes her workouts more intense, because she isn’t sure when she can get another one in. “It’s difficult with the job I have,” she says. “I can’t schedule workouts in advance. I have to grab them when I can, so I want to use that training time wisely.”

British TV and radio personality Maya Jama has hosted several different TV specials and series, and is known for her incredible looks and figure. Jama briefly worked as a model, and has maintained her model looks even after leaving the job.

Jama has a busy schedule, which can make it difficult to squeeze in a workout. However, she makes sure to get her exercise in when she can. She tells Women’s Health, “It’s difficult with the job I have – I can’t schedule workouts in advance, I have to grab them when I can, so I want to use that training time wisely.” Jama also credits her personal trainer, Alice Liveing, with teaching her that “it’s the quality of your sessions that counts, not how long you're in the gym for.”

2. She Loves Doing Squats

Jama says to Women’s Health that squats are her favorite type of exercise, and she’s got a good reason for liking them. "I love my bum, so we tend to concentrate on that – lots of nice deep squats,” she says. Jama also revealed to Stylist.co that she’s been doing squats for a long time. “I love feeling strong, but I’m not naturally like that. From an early age I’d be trying to use my mum’s weight to do deep squats and build bigger legs.”

3. She Varies Up Her Workouts

Jama tells Stylist.co that she doesn’t have a specific fitness routine that she goes to everyday. “I’m a go with the flow kind of person,” she says. Jama has a lot of favorites, saying, “Every morning I put good music on and dance around my bedroom or run up and down the stairs. I’ve found wearing ankle weights really useful, putting on thick socks and weights while I do my daily activities for some extra resistance. And I’ve got a bike in front of my TV so I can jump on that when I’m watching something.”

4. She’s A Fan of Circuits

Jama says that her exercises are done in circuits. “I usually just do three exercises back to back and then repeat that three times round,” she says to Stylist.co. Jama’s favorite circuit is a full-body strength circuit. The three workouts in the circuit are medicine ball squats, medicine ball Russian twists, and full-body extensions.

5. She’s A Fan of Zoom and Online Workouts

With the COVID-19 pandemic that causes gyms and fitness centers to close, this means that everyone has to workout at home. However, Jama says that she loves to workout at home, and that she does a lot of virtual workouts. She says to Stylist.co, “I actually like the Zoom environment where everyone is working out together. It keeps me from wanting to stop.” Jama also follows Ciara London’s Instagram workouts.

6. She’s Very Spiritual

Jama says that she’s had to deal with a lot of internal struggles and hardships, and this has caused her to develop a strong sense of spirituality. “You know, I’ve got this thing where, if I don’t feel 100%, I count my blessings. I’m like ‘OK, what are you thankful for? You’ve got your health, a nice job, you’re not starving, your family’s healthy, blah blah blah,” she says to Women’s Health. “I pray quite often. A little prayer in the morning, one at night. I mean, not every day, but when I can.” Jama has credited her faith with helping her stay on the right track.

1. She’s a Dancer

Jama prefers dancing over grueling gym sessions. “I’m not very consistent,” she says. “My friends always joke that the fact I’m in somewhat okay shape is because I dance so much. My exercise is my partying because I will be the first one on the dance floor and the last one to leave – I go for it! That’s at least some cardio, surely? I wake up the next day with my knees hurting, thinking: I put in a shift last night. I’m quite a hyperactive person anyway so I move around a lot – I’ll be honest that I don’t love the gym. I just do it because I need to look after my insides more than anything. Everyone’s got to work out at some point! I like the rowing machine because it doesn’t feel that hard.”

2. Working Out For Mental Health

Jama loves the way exercise benefits her mental health. "I just think [working out] helps your mental health so much anyway,” she says. “There’s a difference in how I feel if I go out and do some exercise versus just staying in bed all day. I notice how it impacts my brain and how I’m feeling."

3. Exercise First Thing

Jama tries to carve out time in the morning for a workout before the work day starts. "When I’m away filming, I try to wake up early so I can fit in a workout before arriving on set,” she says. “It helps get me in the zone. I previously did a South African road trip with Alice Liveing for work and she taught me that quality over quantity is key. I’m really busy at the moment so it’s easy to just say, 'I don’t have the time to work out', and quit. Alice showed me that it’s not how long you train for, but how you train that counts."

4. DIY Beauty

Jama makes her own hair masks from kitchen ingredients. “I often do homemade hair masks,” she says. “I mix olive oil, eggs, avocado, honey and warm it slightly in the microwave. I run it through my hair, then put a plastic bag over it so it gets a bit sweaty and steamy. Leave it for an hour and wash it off. My mum told me about it years ago, and I've been doing it ever since.”

5. Sauna and Spa Sessions

Jama is a big fan of sauna and spa sessions in her down time. “I do like to spa,” she says. “I only do it if I’ve got a working trip abroad and there’s a day off in between, or I’ll extend. For a while, back in the day, I didn’t really have days off and just worked all the time. If I could get a holiday, it would just be extending wherever I was working for an extra day – then I would stay in the spa the whole time. I like the steam room and going from the sauna to freezing cold water. I’m half Swedish and the Swedish side of my family, like my mum and nan, always went in a hot sauna and then jumped into freezing cold water when we were young. They said it tightens your pores and, you know, anti-ageing and all those things, so I try to do it.”
