“Before my trip to Australia for I’m A Celeb, I started a vigorous summer workout plan, which consisted of three sets of burpees, jumping squats and planks (non-stop for 20 seconds then 40 seconds rest), followed by seated shoulder presses (three sets of ten reps), squats (three sets of ten reps), crunches (three rounds of 20 seconds non-stop plus a 40 second rest) and press-ups (three sets of ten reps),” she told Women’s Health. “Although, I prefer weight training on the machines and I still do some cardio. I usually ease myself in with a run or fast walk on the treadmill.”

2. She Works Out 3 to 4 Times a Week

“We know 150 minutes of physical activity each week sounds like a lot, but you don’t have to do it all at once. It could be 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. You can spread your activity out during the week and break it up into smaller chunks of time,” says the CDC. “Try activities with others in your household for motivation and mutual encouragement. Start slowly and work your way up to more time or more challenging activities.”

3. She Does HIIT Workouts

“Vigorous-intensity aerobic activity means you’re breathing hard and fast, and your heart rate has gone up quite a bit. You may use the Talk Test to gauge the intensity of your aerobic physical activity. If you’re being active at a vigorous level, you won’t be able to say more than a few words without pausing for a breath. Here are some examples of activities that require vigorous effort:

• Jogging or running
• Swimming laps
• Riding a bike fast or on hills
• Playing singles tennis
• Playing basketball

If you are doing moderate-intensity physical activity, such as walking or hiking, you can talk, but not sing during the activity,” says the CDC.

4. She Does Squats

Try this Standing Isometric Squat Row, 12 reps: “Stand in front of a cable machine with a seated row attachment. (You can also use a resistance band attached to a something solid.) Set the resistance to about ¼ of your body weight. Hold the handle with both hands and bend your knees until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Staying in this squat position, use the muscles of your arms and back to slowly pull the handle to your chest. Holding the squat position, slowly release, while still keeping your shoulders stacked on top of your hips!” says trainer Mark Langowski.

5. She is an Early Riser

Maya likes to show up to the set early, prepared. “Our circadian rhythms are responsive to light and dark,” says psychologist and behavioral sleep medicine specialist Michelle Drerup, PsyD, DBSM to the Cleveland Clinic, which adds: “Exposure to bright light first thing in the morning helps you feel more alert and also helps shift your internal rhythm toward an earlier wake time. Natural light is the best, so get outside or open your bedroom window. If you can’t get outside or your room is natural light-deprived, try a light therapy lamp that mimics the spectrum of natural light.”

I was slim, very slim but gosh I was so weak and always in a cranky mood. I was following a no sugar, no carbs, no gluten diet.” However, Javed writes that she is embracing her body and is proud of herself. “I’m fitter, I feel better so I don’t care if people comment about my stomach or my weight.”

4. She Gets Her Vitamin D

"Vitamin D isn't naturally found in many foods, but you can get it from fortified milk, fortified cereal, and fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines. Your body also makes vitamin D when direct sunlight converts a chemical in your skin into an active form of the vitamin (calciferol)," says the Mayo Clinic. "The amount of vitamin D your skin makes depends on many factors, including the time of day, season, latitude and your skin pigmentation. Depending on where you live and your lifestyle, vitamin D production might decrease or be completely absent during the winter months. Sunscreen, while important to prevent skin cancer, also can decrease vitamin D production."

5. She Likes the Beach

"Swimming can improve mood in both men and women. For people with fibromyalgia, swimming can decrease anxiety, and exercise therapy in warm water can decrease depression and improve mood. Water-based exercise can improve the health of pregnant people and has a positive effect on the pregnant person’s mental health. Parents of children with developmental disabilities find that recreational activities, such as swimming, improve family connections," says the CDC.

“Leg day… 80kg.. this is the girl who couldn’t do a push-up a month ago,” she wrote once on an Instagram post. “There are many reasons for keeping the legs strong including reducing fall risk, improving metabolism, and getting out of a chair with more ease. Additionally, according to a British study done on twins, published in 2015, there is also a link between brain health and leg strength,” says the Mayo Clinic.

“Honesty. I love it when my friends can tell me, ‘Leigh-Anne, you're being a little bit of a diva, just slow your row.’ I love that. A friend that is there for me, I feel like that's so important. I'm very lucky to have the same group of friends that I had in school, and I'm still super close with them. I feel like I wouldn't be able to navigate the world without them. They're everything. Also my sisters in Little Mix, they're not even friends, they are sisters. They are my family.”

Pinnock shared some photos of her babies, too. “[Motherhood] has been the most incredible journey I've ever been on. I am just so in awe of them. And I feel like the luckiest person every day to wake up and see their smile and... I'm going to get emotional...” she told Glamour UK, welling up.

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.”
