1. She Takes Her Workouts Seriously

Chris Barker, Zara’s trainer, revealed to Glamour UK that his star client is devoted to fitness. The two train together three times a week. "A usual week would be Monday, Wednesday and Friday training with me with two additional cardio sessions if she can. I like to program full body days, so we are working out as much of the body as possible, however I will make sure that we are able to focus at the same time on certain areas like her bum, for example, which she has wanted to focus on."

2. She Does a Lot of Glute Work

Zara does a lot of deadlifting and squats. "Learning how to perform these exercises correctly are a key foundation in any exercise program," Barker told Glamour. He added that learning how to activate the glutes property is crucial. "It is then using the key exercises like deadlifts, squats and hip thrusts and focusing on progressive overload (the principle behind most resistance training programs where you are either trying to lift a greater load or the lift the same load a greater number of times, thus putting the muscles under enough stress to elicit a response - meaning the muscle grows and becomes stronger)," he said.

3. She Uses Health Apps

Zara uses fitness apps to track her calorie intake and portion sizes. However, her trainer maintains that after a few weeks of tracking, she had a better understanding of nutrition. "Like most of my clients, Zara follows a high protein diet; we then reduce her carbohydrates and fats depending on how she is looking and feeling. Zara is a great cook so she has always been very good with this side of things and this is why she looks as amazing as she does."

4. She Cheats

Zara is allowed to cheat on occasion, per her trainer, who says telling clients they can’t drink alcohol or ever eat their favorite foods, “is setting them up for failure," he said. "By teaching the importance of nutrition and how you can still achieve your results while having the occasional drink or enjoying a pizza then my clients tend to adhere to the program better and actually achieve longer lasting results. Zara still enjoys foods that many people would consider 'bad' but if you are sticking to a caloric plan and not going over your calorie levels consistently, you are still able to achieve great results ....and Zara is testament to that."

5. She Tries to Eat As Plant-Based As Possible

In a recent Instagram post, Zara revealed she is trying to eat more produce. “For the longest time I have looked at integrating more plant-based food into my diet and just be a bit more flexible with what I fuel my body with, whilst maintaining protein and nutrition intake,” she wrote. “As I mentioned before, ensuring I get enough protein is a priority to me, and not something I have had to compromise when adding meatless meals into my diet!”

6. She Drinks Green Juice

Zara is one of the many stars who likes sipping on green juice and smoothies. “Juicy sundays,” she captioned this snap of herself. She also likes an iced coffee in the morning.

Zara McDermott, of Love Island and Made in Chelsea, is on vacation in Ibiza, Spain. She just hit the city’s incredible beaches, and she made sure to get some photos. In her newest Instagram post, McDermott posed in a yellow patterned bathing suit. She captioned the post, “before lunch > lunch (best meal we’ve EVER HAD) > after lunch 😂🙈😝👙 So today we spend the day at Es Torrent!!! A little tucked away beach on the south west coast of the island! It was recommended to me and wow it really didn’t disappoint ✨ We ate lots of fresh fish (we literally had 4 main courses of different fish because we wanted to try it all!!). If you’re into good fresh food, this place is a must 😍 especially if you love fish.

Zaya appeared on FOX News talking about the situation, and posted this video on Instagram of herself on the news. She captioned the post, “I also wanna ask you who knows the donation place please send it to me, I will be checking them over and post for you if I’m sure that’s a good one.”

2. She Runs

In this video from her YouTube channel, Zaya talked about how she lost the weight from her pregnancy. She says that she likes to go running every day. “I run minimum three miles, maximum five miles per day,” she says. "For many runners, a warm-up may consist of only a few stretches or some slow jogging before starting to move at a steady running pace. While this is better than nothing, it does not adequately prepare muscles for the forces experienced during a run. If you run regularly or are returning to running after taking some time off, avoid the risk of an injury and make your workouts as effective as possible with a dynamic warm-up," says ACE Fitness.

3. She Ate Healthy While Pregnant

4. She Uses An Apple Watch

Zara revealed in her YouTube video that her husband bought her an Apple Watch. She says that she uses it to help herself stay in shape. Apple Watches track your movement on a circular graph, and closing a circle means you have done enough activity for the day. Zaya says that this helps her stay motivated. “I was like, ‘I have to close the circle,’” she says.

5. She Goes To The Beach

One look at Zaya’s Instagram, and you will see that she loves to go to the beach. She loves to go on vacation to different beach locations. One thing she likes to do when she’s at the beach is go swimming and snorkeling. Zaya posted this photo of herself snorkeling with sharks.

One question Ward was asked is what workout regime he currently does with McDermott.

It varies, it varies probably every three to four weeks.”

3. She Lifts Weights

In the caption of her Instagram post, McDermott revealed that she has started lifting weights. She says that doing this has helped with her mindset towards herself and others. “I literally used to be that girl who looked down on other girls who lifted weights, saying ‘ew no I don’t want to look all bulky’ or ‘nah it doesn’t even look enjoyable why would someone do that to themselves’,” McDermott writes. “The reason I said that was because I was JEALOUS! I had 0 idea where these other girlies got their motivation and I was jealous that I lacked that myself. It’s sad really but tbh I think it’s a natural human response that when we think that something is unattainable and unachievable, we try and look down on it to make ourselves feel better. I think it was the moment I realised my true thought process, was the moment I realised I needed to change because I didn’t want to be a bitter, judgemental woman 😂 in reality the only person I was letting down was myself, because that mindset is damaging and I really believe it can eat away at your self esteem, because at the back of your mind, you think you can’t achieve something, even if you may not be able to fully admit it.”

4. She Eats Fruits & Vegetables

In addition to working out, McDermott makes sure to eat a healthy diet. She writes in her Instagram post that she is aiming to eat more fruits and vegetables. “Making sure I aim to eat more fruits at breakfast! I have at least 2 fruits on my breakfast plus a super greens drink alongside it. ✨💕 I’ve been doing some reading on gut health & apparently we should be aiming to have 30 different plants a week!”

5. She Walks

In addition to working out at the gym, McDermott makes sure to stay active in her regular life. She writes in her Instagram post that she is working on walking more. “Try and walk to the gym, not drive (unless running very late 😂). Better for the environment plus helps you get your steps in and some fresh air.”
