Rose Ayling-Ellis in Bathing Suit is “On the Hot Tub Boat”

How does she stay so together?

1. She Hits the Spa

The spa boat is not the first time Ayling-Ellis has been pampered. "Just what I needed," she captioned another post after winning Strictly, at a spa. Consider getting a massage yourself. “​​Massage is generally considered part of integrative medicine,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Medical centers are offering it more and more as a treatment along with standard treatment. It may be used for a wide range of medical conditions.

Studies of massage benefits have found massage can:

• Help reduce stress
• Lessen pain and muscle tension
• Increase relaxation
• Improve immune function.”

2. She Has Weight Trained, Sort Of

In order to stay in shape for Strictly, Ayling-Ellis had to exercise. "Pre-show warm-up is very important," wrote one of the show’s producers, sharing an image of her dance partner, Giovanni Pernice, holding her up high. "Even our weights are glamorous," he joked. "I'm just a human weight,” Ayling-Ellis added, when reporting the image.

3. Her Dancing Was Cardio

“It’s a lot of jumping off the ground, I’m going to be so out of breath!” she told the Guardian about Strictly. High intensity workouts like that are great for you. Rapid-fire workouts supercharge your body in countless ways. Unlike doing “steady-state” cardio, in which you head out for a leisurely jog or casually climb a Stairmaster, high-intense workouts ignite your body’s stress response. Everything from your blood pressure to your heart rate spikes. Your immune system and central nervous system kick into high gear. You start inhaling more and more oxygen to spread to your cells. Blood starts flowing to your muscles and your body instantly start burning up all of that glucose in your blood—meaning you’ll stave off weight-gain and bring your endocrine system back into the balance. Physically speaking, it’s the closest thing you can do to running into a phone booth and emerging afterwards with a cape and giant “S” on your chest.

4. She May Have Been Able to Feel the Music

“How is it possible that a person who is deaf can dance to music they can’t actually hear? To learn how to dance, the brain views the actions of others moving to music and combines this with careful counting,” write researchers Helen E. Nuttall and Kate Slade about Ayling-Ellis. “Many people without hearing loss also do this when learning a dance – the steps are taught to beats or counts, which are then practised before being put to music. For someone with hearing loss, while the appreciation of the music differs, the learning through observation and counting is similar. In addition, the tactile information provided through music is very helpful for people with hearing loss. Instead of listening to music, a person who is deaf may feel the music, literally sensing the vibrations through their body.”

5. The Pandemic Has Been Hard

Ayling-Ellis is used to reading lips. Now: "Everyone is wearing masks, everyone is social distanced. So, before people wouldn't wear their masks and they would come up close to me so I can see their face and lip read. But now everyone is wearing masks and staying well away, so I can't understand everyone. So it's quite hard.” During filming of Strictly, “luckily everyone here is very, very nice, and they adapt to what I need. I have an interpreter with me at all times, so they translate anything. But sometimes when she's not there, the cast take their masks off and keep their distance from me….And now they're picking up signing and learning some bits. They're becoming a bit more dextrous, more expression. And that's really, really helped a lot. Everyone is really nice and opened minded and trying their hardest. It helps a lot.”

Former Below Deck star Georgia Rose has transformed her physique since leaving the show—and it’s clear all her hard work is paying off. The model posted a cheeky picture of herself looking gorgeous in black bikini bottoms (holding a hat to protect her modesty). “When we had our own little treehouse above our own little private beach 🌿🌞🌊 @georgianatalie_ Missing you G x,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 6 ways Rose stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Goes Hard At the Gym

Rose is incredibly focused while at the gym, and posted a video of herself doing cardio and strength training to show what her routine looks like. “❗️Turn your pain into power❗️@grapefitt getting me get back ontop 📍 @hustlefitstudio #fitness #workout #thecomeback #workout #hustle.”

2. She Practices Moderation

Rose lost weight after leaving Below Deck by watching her portions and focusing on a healthy lifestyle. “Since I went on @belowdecksailing I’ve gotten a lot healthier, I’ve actually lost a wild 9kgs (almost 20 pounds),” she says. “Not through some drastic diet or anything, just watching my portions and what I eat, working out, partying less (thanks to lockdown).” Portion control has been shown to be effective for healthy weight loss—but it's not always easy. “Large portions make you eat more. If I could teach just one thing about nutrition, it would be this: Larger portions have more calories. Funny? Portion size is anything but obvious,” says Marion Nestle, Paulette Goddard professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at NYU. “Research repeatedly confirms that larger food servings not only provide more calories but also have two other effects. They encourage people to eat more and to underestimate how much they are eating. How to deal with the portion size problem? Use small plates and cups in the dining hall. When eating out, order appetizers, not entrees. Order the small size, or share large portions with friends.”

3. Nothing Is Off-Limits

Rose works hard and is disciplined about her fitness—but still allows herself treats and cheat meals. “This is the happiest and healthiest I’ve felt in a long time- I still eat a lot of Nandos, always order dessert, and I can’t run a 5km (yet) but I’ve still come a long way, so yeah,” Rose says. “Having a regularly scheduled cheat day each week can actually be good for weight loss by preventing binges, reducing cravings, providing a mental break from dieting, and boosting metabolism—if it’s done in a healthy way,” says Carolyn Williams, PhD, RD. “By healthy way, I mean using it as a day when you give yourself a break from measuring every portion and counting calories and allowing yourself a little leeway to enjoy a favorite food or two. You still consume plenty of water, and try to get fruits and vegetables in, but in a more relaxed way. What’s not considered healthy (or good for weight loss) is to use a cheat day as a time when you go to extremes with eating or binges.”

4. She Gets Botox

Rose is open about using Botox to keep wrinkles at bay. "Remember when Botox was a taboo subject? Now when someone mentions it, nobody raises an eyebrow 😉 Dr Dominique at @skinrenewalcapequarter doing what she does best ❤️🙏 #itstime #preventativecare #selfcare #botox #skinrenewalsa #skinrenewalcapequarter,” she captioned a video of herself getting Botox injected above her eyebrows.

5. She Loves to Kayak

Rose says Kayaking is “One of the best ways to clear your head (especially if you fall in the freezing Cape Town water).” “For people who just run and cycle, they tend to not have a lot of muscle mass in the upper body,” says Dr. François Billaut, an exercise physiology professor at Laval University in Quebec and the former head physiologist for the Canadian national kayaking team. “Kayaking offers a balance.”

6. She Enjoys Gelato

Rose is a big fan of delicious gelato. “When buying single-serve frozen treats, choose one with no more than 150 calories per serving, then stick to one serving,” says Anna Taylor, MS, RD, LD, CDE. “If you’re comparing items pick the one lowest in saturated fat and sugar.”
