00:00Hi, I'm Alicia Dixon, welcome to HelloMagazine.com I think the way that I stay in shape varies
00:16from month to month and I think that's the interesting thing about exercise and one of
00:20the biggest things that I like to do is change what I do on a regular basis. I almost like
00:25to keep my body guessing so whether it's running for a month, when I say running for a month
00:30not solidly, but that would be my focus on that month and then maybe another month I
00:34might try swimming and then I might try yoga, dancing is always a thing that I love to do
00:40so I think mixing it up because I think your body, as we can become complacent, your bodies
00:45can as well and if you get used to doing one particular type of exercise, you know, you're
00:50not challenging your body and you're not awakening other muscles that are in your body. But at
00:54the moment it's been very tricky because I've been on tour, but the positive thing about
00:58that is that every night I'm on stage for an hour and fifteen minutes dancing, when we
01:03come off stage we're sweating bucket loads so we feel like we're doing a cardio workout.
01:07If I'm not on tour, I probably, if I had the luxury of going to the gym all the time,
01:13I'd
01:13probably go four times a week. When I exercise, it makes me feel better about myself, it lifts
01:19my spirits, it gives me a glow and I think you have to keep telling yourself that because
01:23we can become grey, like the weather, and if you exercise and it keeps blood pumping
01:28around your body and it makes you just feel more alive. My biggest tip to people that want
01:33to get fit and healthy is to stop thinking about it and just do it. And that's the thing,
01:38we think and ponder over things all the time, we question ourselves, should I, I want to do
01:42this, or just stop the talking, stop the thinking and just do it. Because each, you've got to live
01:47in the present moment and not put things off and think, oh I'll do that, I'll get round
01:51to that, you'll never do it. The way to move forward in life is just to act in the moment
01:55and just do it now. And it's never too late, you can literally wake up tomorrow and change
01:59your life through exercise.
