LOOK FAB LIKE LISA!

The Project co-host shares how she keeps in shape

-

Ever wondered how Lisa Wilkinson looks so toned all the time? Well, the 59-year-old TV host has spilled the beans on her diet and exercise regimen, and you’ll be pleased to know it’s easy enough for anyone to follow...

MOVE IT!

While Lisa struggles with some lower back strength issues after having her three children, she doesn’t let that deter her.

“I’m trying to keep it strong,” she says. “I’ve been working on my core strength a lot – I do a lot of sit-ups and push-ups. I’m also going to start Pilates because everybody raves to me about how good it is for the lower back.”

Another form of core strength training The Project star has a

love-hate relationsh­ip with is planking. Us too, Lisa!

“I discovered the joys of planking... not,” she teases. “I was up to being able to do a five-minute plank just over 18 months ago. Then I went on holidays, slipped over in a bathroom and broke my wrist, so I’ve been working my way back from that ever since.”

Lisa also makes sure to keep up her cardio fitness due to heart health issues that run in her family.

“I’m doing everything I can to keep my heart as healthy as possible,” she says. However, Lisa draws the line at running.

“I’ve got boobs and any woman… who’s got boobs will know that running… is problemati­c no matter how good your sports bra is.”

Amen to that!

MINDFUL EATING

While she’s an advocate for eating your fruit and vegies, Lisa also likes to make sure she includes other food groups.

“[It’s important to] make sure you’re eating the foods that keep your energy levels up. I like my carbs!” she says.

“I do try to eat mindfully... it’s actually just doing the right thing. I eat plenty of lean meats and make sure I get plenty of fish.”
