Prioritize Fitness

Molly-Mae's top tip for staying in shape is to hit the gym. "I'm a massive gym freak, I gym pretty much every day," she said, per The Sun. Her trainer, Connor O'Brien, offered Liverpool Echo a rundown of their average workout session prepping her for Love Island. In the clip, she does 4 x 10 reps of leg presses, leg curls and shoulder presses, before finishing off with 3 x 12 reps of sissy squats, lat raises and cable pull-aparts. "We only had a very short time to get Molly-Mae the results she wanted. She found out quite late on that she was going into the villa. We did a lot of sessions in a short time frame and devised a diet plan after body fat testing so that it suited what it was she needed. It was only about two weeks we had, but we worked on getting her the body that she wanted," he said.

Focus on Burning More Calories Than You Consume

Losing weight is an easy equation, reminds Molly-Mae. When she needs to slim down she focuses on achieving a "slight calorie deficit," consuming less calories than she burns. "I wanted to get my body back to a point where I can go on shoots… and still feel confident," she said.
