But I always had in built strength. I used to do like push ups for three hours. It’s building up that core fitness and stamina.

Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.
You need to put what you learn into practice and do it over and over again until it’s a habit. I always say, ‘Seeing is not believing. Doing is believing.’ There is a lot to learn about fitness, nutrition and emotions, but once you do, you can master them instead of them mastering you.
They both go together; you can’t be in front of the camera hosting a fitness television show in front of 75 million households and not have trained 6 days per week year round – in a bikini no less.

Sometimes the most urgent and vital thing you can possibly do is take a complete rest.
Fitness has always been one of my strengths. I can do all the long-distance runs. When I was at school and we entered the competitions, I used to do the 100m, 200m, and the 1500m as well, so it’s never just been a pace thing.

If you don’t make mistakes you are not really trying.
I’m quite into fitness, and I have a fantastic personal trainer who knows me, knows my body, knows when to push me, and knows when not to push me. She doesn’t make me do 20 burpees in a row and instead focuses on strengthening my core, telling me we need to focus on making me into ‘a tall giraffe’!

What batsmen like me do for fitness is often a bit different to what bowlers like Jimmy Anderson or Stuart Broad do but everyone in the squad has a big focus on core strength.

Eighty percent of success is showing up.

I know April, May and June are a few unbearable months, and working out in a gym and sweating in such dirty hot, sticky, humid weather puts me off. The best way is to swim. I feel so fresh and rejuvenated after swimming, and I believe it’s one of the best mode to fitness during summers.
The funny thing is, we teach – as a culture, we teach people that it’s OK to talk about your fitness goals… Like, I want to be more physically fit, I want to drop 10 pounds, but no one’s talking about how I can spend 10 days to get happier.
