Janette Manrara is getting an at home workout in in her workout gear. In a new social media post the Strictly Come Dancing star shows off her amazing figure during a sweat session in the comfort of her own home. “Happy Tuesday everyone. Keep moving,” she writes in the caption of the Instagram video. “It’s been tough for me getting a routine in w/ the gym being on my own w/ Lyra while still working. I get a session here and there, but w/ no consistency. I miss moving, I miss stretching. I have noticed my energy has dropped, and I have felt more anxious as well. So today I decided no gym needed, just need some quiet and a simple session just to feel better. I set the alarm before Lyra got up, and although waking up was painful, I feel SO MUCH better for doing so.” How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Pilates-Based Workouts

In her new workout video, Janette does a Pilates inspired workout. “These are all Pilates based movements for core and upper body strength, w/ lots of breathing and a good long stretch at the end. Quick work out, but a nice one. I used the @sweat app and put in that I had no gym equipment so I can do it from the comfort of my own living room,” she writes.
Exercise for Mental Health

Janette works out for her mental health. “It’s hard when we all have so much to juggle to think about the affects movement can have not just on our body, but our mental health. We ALL have easier days than others, but moving and doing something for yourself is ALWAYS going to be a good idea. The alarm hurt, but I am so grateful that I did,” she adds in the post.
Strength Training

Janette is really “into weight training,” she told Independent. “I’m doing a bit of running, and I like to be at home and just do 25 minutes of body exercises, just here with my yoga mat, as much as I can. That’s helped me maintain a healthy lifestyle and keep an eye on my weight, because I did feel the difference, in my muscles especially, when I stopped Strictly.”
Personalized Approach to “Wellbeing”

Janette approaches health in a personalized manner. “Wellbeing is everything. It’s about finding a way to be physically active and mentally stimulated and happy. There are so many different ways we can look after our mind and our body and put that into one,” Manrara told The Independent. “There’s no one solution for anyone – I learned that through my wellbeing courses. It’s about finding that balance that’s right for you, not trying fit an image, profile or a certain type. We all come in different shapes and sizes, and finding what works for you is what I think wellbeing is all about – what makes you ultimately happy and feel good.”
Small Portions and a Balanced Approach to Diet
“I wouldn’t say I eat healthily, but I think I’m very balanced with my food. If I’ve been very good in the day, I allow myself a little treat in the evening, or if I’ve been naughty in the day then I try to eat not too bad later. I also watch my portions – I don’t have big portions of anything,” Janette said about her diet. “But I’m not a crazy fiend about eating super-healthy, I just try and keep my plate balanced, with a little bit of salad, a little bit of veggies, some protein and some carbs, and if I want a little treat afterwards, then a piece of chocolate or anything like that,” she added to Independent. She also loves pizza and burgers. “I don’t think it’s about cutting things out completely, it’s just about balancing it out, and watching what you put into your body.”
