Ashley Roberts is enjoying a winter getaway – in her bathing suit. In a new social media post the former Pussycat Dolls singer shows off her amazing body in a swimsuit, revealing the results of her grueling workout routine. “Winter sun finito. Enjoyed ya for a few days,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Hoddy w the Boddy! Wow!🔥” Robin Antin commented. “🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Looking Beautiful,” added another. How does the star achieve her hot body? Celebwell has the details on her lifestyle habits.
“For me, I enjoy working out for my physical health but to be honest it’s more for my mental health, it just makes me feel better and it gets the endorphins going,” Ashley told Express. “I like to workout and I like to train. That was always a part of my upbringing because my mum was really into fitness.” Her workout of choice? “Lifting gets my heart rate up and makes me look amazing, but more importantly it makes me feel strong. Scrap that, I don’t just feel strong – I am strong, and I think it’s important for women to feel that way,” she told Coach. She recently shared a workout video on Instagram, which included kettlebell squats and weighted lunges.
Ashley incorporates other workouts into her life. “I love spin, I love yoga, I love boxing, weight training, dancing. And oh my god I’m obsessed right now with this class at the XR; it’s the best cardio and the music! They have the best playlist and if you close your eyes, it’s like you’re in Mykonos or something,” she told Express UK.
“I’m pretty much a vegan now, but I don’t think having to eat that informed my decision – not consciously at least. I try to have a good diet,” Ashley told Coach about her approach to diet. “Every now and then I’ll have a treat, but I love most healthy foods so it’s not as if I’m depriving myself. My trainer sometimes worries I’m not getting enough protein, but I have vegan protein smoothies to make up for the lack of meat and fish.” She starts her day with a smoothie. “Most mornings I blend up a bunch of organic greens, such as kale and spinach, add some raw fruit such as banana, avocado and blueberries, then finish it off with some almond milk and maybe some agave if my sweet tooth needs satisfying. Finally, I add some vegan protein powder to ensure I hit my quota for the day. Try it. Even if you’re not vegan I guarantee you’ll love it,” she told Coach.
Ashley also makes sure to get her steps in. “Even if there is a day where I am not working out hard, I try to get outside and just go for a walk and be in nature. It is a part of my life and I enjoy it and it makes me feel good,” she told Express.
Ashley loves to hike. She recently shared a post of herself on top of a mountain. “Home,” she captioned the series of snaps taken in Phoenix, Arizona. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:
- Building stronger muscles and bones
- Improving your sense of balance
- Improving your heart health
- Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems
One “overlooked” secret for health is hydration. “Coming from the desert, we have to drink water to stay hydrated. It is so overlooked in a sense but drinking lots of water is really good to stay hydrated, to stay flushed, and to stay healthy. Drink the H2O kids!” she told Express. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
