00:00The way I approach fitness has definitely changed over the years.
00:03When I was in my teens, I used to dance all the time.
00:06I was in a West End show, so I was dancing seven, no, nine times a week in those shows
00:13and it was really easy for me.
00:16Then I was in a pop band, so more dancing, also a lot of sitting around in a tour bus.
00:20But after that, I think when you have babies and when your body starts to really change
00:25and you realise that the things that you found really easy to do, it's all changed,
00:31I realised I had to start maybe taking more care of myself.
00:36I've been asked for a long time, you know, how do you keep fit?
00:38What is it you eat? What is it you do?
00:39But for the first time in the 10 years that I have been offered every single year,
00:44this felt like the right time to do it.
00:45I've got a landmark birthday coming up, so I'm going to be turning 40.
00:48I've really put more effort into thinking about what I put into my body and how I use my body
00:53and I want to stay fit for my girls as well and set an example to them.
00:56Basically, I want to feel strong.
00:59I've incorporated boxing into the workout because I just love how it makes me feel afterwards.
01:05And so what's the point of dieting your entire life just to fit into that pair of jeans
01:09and then when that's worked out, it all goes back on again afterwards.
01:13I just wanted something that was going to be effective and that you can maintain.
01:20Yoghurt is always in my fridge.
01:22I don't know what it is.
01:23I go through fads.
01:25So at the moment, little pots of yoghurt, big pots of yoghurt, yoghurt on everything.
01:30It's my fad at the minute.
01:32The most chaotic time in my house is mornings, breakfast, weekends and evenings,
01:40which basically sounds like all the time.
01:43All the time, it's chaotic in my house.
01:44Do you know what it is?
01:45There's people coming and going.
01:47There's just noise all the time.
01:48It's exactly what I wanted it to be though.
01:50My corner of calm is either in the bath or with a box set on a Friday night.
