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.”

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.”

Maya Jama is pretty in pink – in her swimsuit. The Brit beauty and Love Island host shows off her beautiful body in a pink bathing suit in one of her latest social media posts, a mirror selfie shared to her Instagram Stories. How does the 28-year-old keep herself so fit? Read on to see 7 of Maya Jama’s top diet and fitness tips for staying in shape and the photos that prove they work.

Maya prioritizes exercise, getting up early to get her sweat on. “I try to wake up early so I can fit in a workout before arriving on set. It helps get me in the zone,” she told Women’s Health. She also works out regularly. “I now work out three to four days a week because I know it’s an important part of keeping healthy,” she added.

2. Do HIIT Style Workouts

Maya has a “quality over quantity is key” approach to exercise, explaining “it’s not how long you train for, but how you train that counts.” She does mostly high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts. An example of her “vigorous summer workout plan” consists 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).

“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,” she said.

3. Find Workout Buddies

Workout buddies keep Maya accountable. “In the first lockdown, I lived with friends and we all worked out together. It was good because when one person wasn't feeling it, the others would get you in the mood,” she told Stylist.co.

4. Recover

Maya also helps her body to recover. One of her go-to practices? She takes baths infused with CBD. “When I have something really important on the next day I have a really hot bath before bed with CBD oil in the bath so it's really steamy," Maya told Get the Gloss.

5. Box

Maya also loves boxing. “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,” she told Women’s Health.

1. Wake Up and Exercise

Maya suggests working out first thing in the morning. “When I’m away filming, I try to wake up early so I can fit in a workout before arriving on set. It helps get me in the zone,” she told Women’s Health. Remember to stretch. "Flexibility is an important aspect of physical fitness, and it's a good idea to include stretching and flexibility activities in a fitness program. Stretching exercises can help increase flexibility, which can make it easier for you to do many everyday activities that require flexibility," says the Mayo Clinic. "Stretching can also improve the range of motion of your joints and may promote better posture. Regular stretching can even help relieve stress and tension."

2. Pump Up the Intensity

When Maya wants to get in great shape, like before she traveled to Australia for I’m A Celeb, she does HIIT style workouts. Her “vigorous summer workout plan” 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). “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,” she said.

3. Exercise at Least Every Other Day

Maya suggests regular exercise sessions. “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. I now work out three to four days a week because I know it’s an important part of keeping healthy,” she told Women’s Health. “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.”

4. Focus On “Quality Over Quantity”

Maya believes that “quality over quantity is key,” when it comes to exercise. “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.’” She learned from a friend “that it’s not how long you train for, but how you train that counts.”

5. Find Workout Buddies

Maya suggests enlisting the help of workout buddies. “In the first lockdown, I lived with friends and we all worked out together. It was good because when one person wasn't feeling it, the others would get you in the mood,” she told Stylist.co.

6. Take Baths with CBD

Maya chills out by taking CBD baths. “When I have something really important on the next day I have a really hot bath before bed with CBD oil in the bath so it's really steamy," Maya told Get the Gloss.

7. Try Interesting Treatments

Maya “hates” exercise, so sometimes she does Shane Cooper’s Body Defining Treatment on her thighs and stomach, to tighten and tone her muscles, she revealed to Get the Gloss. According to Cooper the treatment “simultaneously addresses both muscle and fat” and does so “by using electromagnetic waves, to induce up to 36,000 supra-maximal forced muscle contractions during each session."

1. She Hydrates

Maya prioritizes hydration. Here she is sipping on a coconut at the beach. According to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine men should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day and women about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids.

2. She Dances

You can always find Maya sweating away calories by dancing on TikTok. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

3. She Exercises

Maya regularly hits the gym. Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans

4. She Swims

After working out at the gym, she goes for a swim. “I love swimming since I was a child, I always loved it and it will be my whole life!” Maya wrote on Instagram. “This ain't over 'til it's over!! What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!! Never allow anyone to seize you, your mental, emotional peace, your freedom and essence!! The one who doesn't add up, doesn't subtract, doesn't steal your energy, take care of it as the most precious thing you have! Vibrate high and beautiful!! It's just that simple!”

5. She Is Disciplined with Her Diet

Maya understands the importance of a healthy diet. “My dinner today!!! It is worth the effort and discipline! In 60 days with hard training and diet!” she captioned a photo of her healthy meal on Twitter. "Do you want to adopt a healthy diet but aren't sure where to start? As you consider the parade of healthy diets in magazines and cookbooks, make sure to look for one that:

• Includes a variety of foods from the major food groups: fruits; vegetables; whole grains; low-fat dairy products and lean protein, including beans and other legumes, nuts and seeds; and healthy fats
• Provides guidelines for how much food to choose from each group
• Includes foods you can find in your local grocery store — rather than specialty or gourmet store items
• Fits your tastes, lifestyle and budget," says the Mayo Clinic.
