McDermott shared this video on her YouTube channel with her personal trainer, Gary Ward. In it, the two answered questions about McDermott’s fitness routine.

Ward says that he likes to vary McDermott’s training. “This is a hard question to answer,” he starts. “Because it will change depending on the stage of her training. It varies, it varies probably every three to four weeks.”

2. She Works Out Regularly

McDermott shared this video on Instagram of herself getting ready for a workout. In the caption, she talked about her current wellness secrets. McDermott says that she makes sure to workout on a regular basis. “Get ready with me to go to the gym. 💪🏼💕❤️ One thing I’m most proud of is the fact that I’ve managed to stick to exercising at least three times a week for a long time now.”

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.”
