WEIGHT-LOSS WINNERS
From Lisa Wilkinson to Shaynna Blaze and Carrie Bickmore, women in media are looking better than ever. New Idea looks at how they’ve achieved their cracking new bods.
CARRIE BICKMORE
Carrie, 38, has bounced back to shape beautifully after having her third child in December. She puts this down to a good diet and pilates. “I’ve found a KX Pilates studio, which uses weights, so it’s fast. Some weeks I get five workouts in, some only three. But I’m quite relaxed about it and my weeks are pretty active no matter what I’m doing,” she says.
Carrie’s day on a plate includes healthy foods with plenty of fruit and vegetables.
“I usually have yoghurt and muesli or porridge for breakfast. Then I’ll have a coffee mid-morning and a wrap or sushi for lunch. My days are long so I’ll often have something sweet in the afternoon. My other energy boosters are tea, nuts and fruit.”
LISA WILKINSON
Showcasing her amazing figure at 59 years old in a black swimsuit recently, Lisa admitted that it was her husband Peter Fitzsimons who inspired her to get in shape.
“About 18 months ago he started going to the gym a lot, and when I saw the difference in his levels of energy and vitality, and the way he was just attacking the day, I decided I’d like a little bit more of that,’ Lisa spilled to 9Coach, adding she began to feel the benefits of regular exercise “almost immediately”.
The mum of three also credits a Mediterranean diet, including lots of fresh vegetables and fish, for maintaining her incredible figure.
SHAYNNA BLAZE
Shaynna, 55, credits her lithe physique to yoga which she started when she was just 18. “It has been a huge part of my life. For 20 years I did it every day – I’d wake up and be on the mat for a good 45 minutes to an hour,” Shaynna has said previously.
The Block host follows a healthy diet, with no sugar or processed foods, and is vegetarian. She also snacks on dips with vegetables. “Lots of dips with carrot, celery and capsicum,” she adds.
