The actress revealed that she likes to keep hydrated at all times, saying: "I drink a pint of water every morning when I wake up.” Pass us that bottle of Evian ASAP. The brunette beauty also likes to switch things up and get creative with her workouts, to stop them getting boring. "Find something active that you enjoy so that it doesn't become a chore! I love taking my dog for long walks." She also advises that grabbing your best gal pal is key. "Do exercise with a friend! That way, you can spur each other on."

It's very easy to get obsessed with exercise and fitness, where you are (literally) running yourself into the ground. So Michelle believes you shouldn't overdo it. "Don’t overly push yourself. I only set myself a target to spend 45 minutes in the gym and then, I’m done. I think it is important to do everything in moderation."
