Health Snez’ wedding countdown, music, moringa
The countdown to her wedding to Sam Wood is on and mum-of-two SNEZANA MARKOSKI is feeling fitter than ever
As her December wedding to Bachelor love Sam Wood approaches, Snezana Markoski is getting down to business when it comes to her health and fitness. The stunning mum has had to adapt to a newborn in the home, giving birth to the couple’s beautiful baby girl Willow nine months ago, all while planning one of the local celebrity world’s most-anticipated nuptials. Snez, 37, opens up to Woman’s Day about her current workout regimen and what she’s cooking in the kitchen these days.
Not long until the big day, how exciting! How will your fitness routine change in the lead-up?
My routine will mostly stay the same as I’ll continue to do my 28 By Sam Wood workouts at home, however I’ll do al a little more cardio and up m my running game.
What W are some of your fa favourite exercises?
For Fo me, it’s all about full-body movements m – I want to work as a many parts of my body as a I can. With a baby, time is everything!
Are A you focusing more on resistance re (strength) or cardio-based c workouts?
I pretty much split it 50/50. I’ve definitely got a long way to go, but I’m feeling fitter and stronger every day.
What’s been the hardest thing getting back into working out post-pregnancy?
Even though I kept fit during my pregnancy, I still honestly felt really horrible after I had Willow. Your body looks so different and everything is magnified when you’re tired. So, getting past a combination of tiredness and just feeling like you’ve got so far to go was the hardest.
We love how you get Willow involved in your workouts!
I try to get my 28-minute workout
done when she sleeps, but she often doesn’t sleep for that long – she’s a power napper! Getting her involved, rolling around on the floor and having a laugh while using her as resistance makes it fun.
How does Sam motivate you and your fitness goals?
He seems to know when I need a bit of a kick in the butt, but also when I need a hug. I tend to be someone who overthinks and talks about my intentions a lot, and when he hears me doing this he gives me the
little nudge that I need!
Is he stepping up his diet and exercise game in the run-up to the wedding, too?
He tends to look after himself all year round. But I’m sure in the last month he’ll step it up a notch.
What does a day on your plate look like?
First things first: coffee! Then it’s usually a smoothie for breakfast. Lunch is a salad or stir-fry, but with the cold weather I’m loving soups. Dinner is typically a team decision, between Sam, Eve and myself.
Can you give us any teasers about the wedding?
All I’m going to say is that organisation is in full swing and I can’t wait to walk down the aisle!
