‘When I had a month off training, I felt really negative’

Hi, Lucy! How do you stay motivated to keep fit?

I have double the pressure because I’m in the public eye and I’ve also got a fitness company. For me, it’s about my mental health. I know if I have a month off training – which I have done before – I start to feel really down and negative. When I train and eat well, it makes me less self-conscious and much happier.

How often do you train?

It depends on my week, but I like to do four times a week, around 45 minutes a session.

What are your favourite exercises?

I love HIIT training. I know it sounds horrendous, but I really love burpees and skipping, because they’re such a good form of cardio and super-quick. I love weights and Pilates and barre for your bum and legs, there’s nothing better.

Which part of your body do you love the most?

My bum, it’s changed the most because of squatting. My PT, Cecilia, always takes credit for my bum. She says that she created it! It used to be flat with cellulite.
