Like most people, myself and Gorka want to feel and look our best when on holiday. Knowing most of it will be spent in bikinis and swim shorts, it’s nice to feel comfortable. Goal wise, it is more mental-based than physical, to be honest. Gorka is already in good shape and I feel okay too. START YOUR…

This body transformation challenge with U.P. has massively impacted the way I view food and training. The two simply MUST work hand in hand. Before starting with U.P., I did two sessions a week with a trainer, and I thought that was probably enough. But now I know that isn’t enough. I would constantly moan and ask…

I have reached the end of my 12-week online transformation with Ultimate Performance and it’s an amazing feeling. I feel proud of how far I have come and how much I have achieved in such a short time. My goal was to get in the best shape of my life for my wedding day. I have…

There is no better feeling than feeling strong. That’s why I love weight training. Doing this training program has made me fall back in love with lifting weights. I’ve got to the point where I’m enjoying it so much and feeling so strong, that I want to do more. I’m looking forward to every session and seeing how…

It’s fair to say this process has really made me enjoy exercise again, and I’m now quite enjoying the routine of my meal plan/exercise sessions at U.P. I think when it’s done I will actually miss it. I never thought I would be saying that! I’m definitely stronger and leaner, and I am getting better at…

It’s fair to say I am loving the results of my journey with Ultimate Performance. People are really noticing and being very kind on photos I put on Instagram, with the most popular comment saying that I’m looking lean. I’m now in medium t-shirts and jumpers, and my waistline has shrunk. I’ve not been this happy…

Seven weeks in and I’ve got abs! It’s a really satisfying personal milestone. The scales say I’ve lost 5kg and the calipers show I’ve lost a third of my body fat so far – that’s great progress, but those are just numbers. The real benefits of doing a transformation like this are how you look and feel. Seeing…

This is the first week I’ve felt quite tired on the programme. But I’m committed to getting my weight down, and I’m not giving up now. There’s been a lot of chop and change with my work hours lately which hasn’t helped, and I can’t stress how important getting enough sleep is when you’re doing this. It’s…

It’s so important to listen to your body and know when to take a breather. It’s so easy to do too much and burn yourself out – especially if you’re running around at 100mph balancing training, a career and being a parent. Sometimes you’ve got to listen to what your body is saying and take your…

Another week begins and I’m really starting to enjoy the comments I’m getting from people. Colleagues at Radio 1 are starting to say I look good/different/better and are starting to ask me how I’ve done it as I’m not making a big deal of it really. I want to get on with this…
