1. Special Training

Jama had a very specific training routine before I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! “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 says. “'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. Staying Active

Jama doesn’t need to hit the gym to get some calories burned. “Every morning I put good music on and dance around my bedroom or run up and down the stairs,” she says. “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.”

3. Group Workouts

Jama loves taking part in group workouts. "With group exercise classes, you have other people's energy driving you," says UW Health Fitness Center fitness instructor Karla Bock. "If you need that push to be more consistent in your exercise, paying for a class may help," Bock says. "The fact that you paid for the class can be a motivator to get you to go, and if you miss it, you know the coach is going to ask you where you were last week."

4. Exercise For Mental Health

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

5. High-Energy Workouts

Jama loves to stay active with high-energy workouts, including sessions with a trainer. “I have loads of energy so lately I’ve been trying to channel that into an exercise routine. But I’m still very much a beginner,” she says. “I now work out three to four days a week because I know it’s an important part of keeping healthy. I’m actually finding it quite fun. Once a week, I do a one-hour boxing workout with my trainer Bradley Simmonds, who keeps me motivated; if I’m on my own, I’ll pump up high-energy songs like Bicycle by Vybz Kartel to get me through my workout.”
