Louise Redknapp<\/a> has revealed that her approach to exercise is refreshingly relatable. ‘Fitness<\/a> has always been a huge part of my life, but I’ve never really been a gym bunny,’ she told Women’s Fitness.<\/a> ‘If someone said to me, “Do you want to meet for a drink and a bit of dinner on Tuesday night or go to the gym?” I’m always going to meet my mate for dinner. The gym is not at the front of my priorities,’ she continued to Hello!<\/a><\/p>\n

In a way, however, that belies the 51-year-old former Eternals singer’s highly active lifestyle. When she appeared on WH’s May 2017<\/a> cover, she let us in on her routine: ‘I’ll work out three times a week, whether that\u2019s with a trainer in my garden with friends, a HIIT<\/a> session, or a Pilates class \u2013 I\u2019ve been doing that for 10 years.’ Exercising with others is a must. ‘Training for me is very social.’<\/p>\n

Her PT Bradley Simmonds provided a closer look at some of her more demanding workouts. ‘She likes high-intensity sessions such as boxing, quick circuits. She doesn’t necessarily like strength training<\/a> when you are waiting around a lot…[so a] workout [usually involves] 40 seconds on and 20 seconds off, 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off [for] an hour,’ he elaborated to OK!<\/a> <\/p>\n

‘In the circuits we focus on core, upper- and lower-body and some days we do a full-body<\/a> workout. If we train twice a week we do a full body and if we do three or four times a week then we can change it up and isolate different muscle groups.’<\/p>\n

Pilates<\/a> continues to be one of her main workouts of choice. ‘I’m totally obsessed,’ she told Women’s Fitness. ‘I\u2019m so lucky that one of my best friends is a Pilates teacher<\/a>, so we have great sessions together as I love exercising in a social environment. It\u2019s a great way to exercise.’ According to Hello!, Louise prefers an equipment-based practice. ‘I love Pilates on the tower or on the reformer<\/a>, because it’s quick and it feels like a proper workout. I just lie there, my legs in straps doing an exercise and [my friend and I are] chatting away, so it’s lovely.’<\/p>\n

As for another go-to, indoor cycling, she often pairs it with the ultimate guilty pleasure, reality TV. ‘I’ve got got a Peloton at home. I watch Love Island and go for a bike ride in the lounge. If I’ve got a night in, I get on the Peloton, do a few sit-ups, then I’m done.’<\/p>\n

Immersed in the music industry, Louise has spent years making sure she’s always stage ready. ‘Obviously, I have always been into dance,’ she said to Women’s Fitness. Yoga<\/a>, however, isn’t in her regular rota, Hello! notes. ‘I’d love to do yoga but after about three minutes I start thinking about all the other things I should be doing rather than sitting in this position and thinking I haven’t got time for this today.’<\/p>\n

Her approach to nutrition is sensibly balanced, too. ‘I love a green juice, [but] I\u2019m all about moderation,’ she told us. ‘I\u2019m the first one to go out and have a cocktail and a tequila shot. I\u2019m not someone who won\u2019t eat a chip.\u201d
