It might look like Keegs spends her life in the gym, but she doesn’t. Instead, she sets herself achievable and realistic targets. "Don't overly push yourself," she said. "I only set myself a target to spend 45 minutes in the gym and then I'm done. I think it's important to do everything in moderation. Set yourself a realistic goal so that you have something to work towards."

There's something to be said for intuitive movement – that is, listening to your body and only pushing through when you feel capable, and Michelle definitely doesn't ignore her body.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan UK she said: "If I really, really don’t want to go to the gym – I don't go. I just don’t punish myself, it's not like, my life to go the gym. If I can go to the gym I will, if I can't, I can't.
"I think the more you go, the more you guilt trip yourself because you feel like it's part of your routine. If I can go four or five times a week, great. If I can only go twice – or once – at least I've been."
