ALEX’S STAR WELLNESS PLAYERS
LAUGH
‘I don’t ever think: “What if I say something wrong on live TV?” If I do say something stupid, I’m going to laugh at myself.’
LEARN
‘I love podcasts with interviews – you get lost in them. Glennon Doyle’s We Can Do Hard Things is next on my list. I love it when people say, “Alex, you need to listen to this,” because they’re telling me I’m going to get something from it.’
WALK
‘My moment to switch off is going for a walk, which I learned about myself over lockdown. I know it gives me calm. When I had my dog [Alex’s boxer passed away two years ago], taking her on a walk was my meditation, and I’ve reconnected with that.’
MOTIVATE
‘I use the Nike Running Club app to track my 5ks. As I’m on that run, I’m like, “I could do that faster, I’m going to beat my PB.” It gives me motivation.’
SWEAT
‘I’ve not done hot yoga again since the Covid restrictions started easing, but I miss it. I loved the stretching; I’d feel like I’d detoxed my body. I can’t wait to go back.’
LISTEN
‘I can go from S Club 7 to Taylor Swift to hip hop. I was team DJ in the Arsenal and England changing rooms and music is a great way to bring a team together.’
