The Only Way Is Essex star Ferne McCann puts the hard work in when it comes to her fitness routine. McCann, 33, shared a video of herself wearing leggings and a blue sports bra, using weights and resistance equipment at the gym. “Visualize your higher self… And start showing up as HER! Since the beginning of Jan, I’ve had a goal in my mind & that’s to create a body that I enjoy living in. Don’t get me wrong, self work, development and bettering yourself isn’t linear. There’s ups and downs & challenges along the way. However If I didn’t exercise I wouldn’t be able to show up for my girls, my fiance, my family and I wouldn’t be able to show up for myself. So with one workout at a time…I am getting stronger mentally and physically,” she captioned the post. Here’s how McCann stays fit, focused, and healthy.
McCann enjoys a protein-packed diet during the week. “I wake up and have a shot of Symprove mixed with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar followed by my Herbalife thermo tea and morning breakfast,” she told Express. “I drop Sunday to nursery and exercise then have a protein shake within half an hour of exercising. I have a mid morning snack – this could be anything from a boiled egg, handful of nuts or a banana – then I will have a healthy lunch, such as a salad, wholemeal wrap or a soup. I have a mid-afternoon protein snack then I will cook dinner which could be anything. I am a proper foodie and love experimenting in the kitchen.”
McCann has learned how to make working out a sustainable, regular part of her lifestyle. “I make exercise and keeping fit a priority. If I didn’t I wouldn’t do it,” she told Express. “For me, to keep engaged I have to mix things up, from yoga, going for a walk, a HITT workout or dance workout. Variety is key. Everyday I try to drink 2.5 liters of water and I aim to do 10,000 steps which I track via my Fitbit. I aim to be in bed at 11pm and listen to a sleep meditation. My alarm goes off at 6am.”
McCann is happy to leave the reality star lifestyle behind her. “I feel the best I’ve ever felt in my life,” she told Closer. “My old lifestyle left me bloated, lethargic and demotivated. Now I feel strong, super lean and have a real sense of strength. Back then I didn’t have anywhere near as much self-love as I do now. It’s amazing!”
McCann’s skincare regimen changes depending on her schedule. “If I’m on the go I’ll use a wipe, if I’m at home or on holiday I’ll definitely use a cleanser and a toner,” she told OK!. “I think the key is a really good eye make-up remover, I use a blue one I think it’s Clinique or Estdee Lauder. Just some cotton pads, wash your face with water, use a really good cleanser. Exfoliate twice a week, that’s what I do.”
McCann makes healthy choices as much for her wellness as for beauty. “If you can fill your body with good food and get moving, it can have a huge impact on everything else in your life – from work to relationships,” she told Closer. “It’s about how it makes you feel more than how it makes you look.”
