In fact her latest post shows why she’s certainly a force to be reckoned with.
Posting on her Instagram, where she boasts 144,000 followers, the personal trainer wrote: “When you feel strong and healthy you feel sexy. End of story xo.”

She also made sure of including her signature ‘alternating’ sets so each lower body exercise is followed by an upper body move. As for cardio, she kept it to a minimum until closer to the event.
