Given that it can take weeks, or even months, to recover from Achilles tendonitis, it's incredible that Naga already feels able to be running outside.
The former Strictly Come Dancing star revealed to fans the extent of her injury earlier this month, and explained she'd been unable "to run for weeks".
Telling fans she had finally found a way to make a return to running, the star revealed: "At last I found a machine that means I can control speed when it's too hot to run outside (for me)."
"My head feels so refreshed!" Naga rejoiced, wishing her fans "a fabulous day".

She also explained that she picked up the injury by accidentally pushing herself too far when gyms reopened at the beginning of the month.
The Streatham-born star lives in Hertfordshire with her TV director husband, James Haggar.
The couple have been happily married since 2004, and while Naga tends to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, she did previously give an insight into her relationship when she spoke to psychotherapist and author Philippa Perry on her Radio 5 Live show.
She said: "We're both in TV and have to be really succinct in everyday life and that's how we're used to talking to each other. Others may think, 'Oh, they're a bit rude to each other', but we're not, it's just how we communicate."
