KATE FERDINAND REV

FITNESS queen Kate Ferdinand does 500 sit-ups a week to get her sexy curves.

And the reality TV star, wife of former footballer Rio, admits she loves exercising to boost her mental health.

Kate, 28, has become an Instagram fitness sensation, with 1.1million followers, and regularly posts videos of workouts with her husband.

But she insists she’s not as gymobsessed as people might assume.

“I’m a lot more relaxed than people think,” says Kate. “Everyone thinks I’m this regimented person who has to go to the gym at 4am every day but I’m not.

“I love working out, I love feeling active and it’s really good for my mind, but I also have a day off and I don’t beat myself up about it. I don’t cry if I don’t do it.”

But former Towie star Kate, who says she has been going to the gym since she was “13 or 14”, also admits that her new “sensible attitude” is a recent development. She says: “I used to feel like something terrible would happen if I didn’t work out and it used to really take over my life.

“I suffer with anxiety and I added to that by thinking I would get anxious didn’t work out.

“It’s something I’ve only learned recently but the world isn’t going to end if I don’t go to the gym today. “Last year I had an injury and Rio and everyone else were really worried about me because they knew I wasn’t good when I didn’t work out.

“I just thought, ‘This is pathetic’. But I’ve only just got this sensible attitude – it’s my 2020 mantra.”

There’s no denying Kate works hard to get that toned figure – including a punishing 100 ab exercises per session. She says: “I work out four or five times a week, doing a mixture of high-intensity interval training and weights depending on how I am feeling. I do squats and lunges and I feel my bum is getting there – it’s a work in progress. “At the end of every workout, I do an ab finisher, which has five ab exercises – 20 if
