How do you train your abs? One secret to your toned body.
Katie Laura Burnett:
I used to train my abs loads as a kid, rarely ever as an adult – and not properly until now!! So hopefully the abs will have a major improvement this year. Everyone has them however their origins/ insertions change how they appear when people diet, some peoples are even and square, others can look like pretty brickwork.
One secret I would say is the effort you put into everyday life, its not just the gym or foods its everything. Old habits die hard so make sure they’re good habits.
Namita Nayyar:
Women Fitness talks about diets and fitness regime; do you follow any special diet? What is your favorite cuisine?
Katie Laura Burnett:
Unfortunately having intolerances to wheat/ gluten and milk/ lactose I am on a diet everyday anyway. It is difficult when you add in supplements and packaged proteins, so I do have to do more cooking nowadays but that’s just the price I have to pay its a small one compared to some people’s health issues.
This is probably why I find competitive bodybuilding diets naturally work for me, as the foods in these diets are the main foods I must eat anyway. I tend to train 4/5 days a week I now have 2 days off a week to recover. Sometimes less is more, learning a good training split to avoid injuries and maintenance is so important.
Before my intolerances my favorite cheat cuisines were Indian and Chinese curry’s and cakes. But now where I physically can’t eat these foods I tend to favor chicken stir fry and omelets. You can get free from cakes but they’re not the same, but we move on.
Namita Nayyar:
Five foods you absolutely love and five you keep to a minimum.
Katie Laura Burnett:
I Love: chicken, omelets, rice, potato and avocado.
I keep to minimum: cake, cola, chips, sweet chili sauce and mayonnaise.

You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Share with us your hair care and skincare routine.
Katie Laura Burnett:
For hair care I tend to use oils after washing on lengths as these are extensions I do myself so I look after them, once a week I massage oil into roots. I’m really impressed with how shiny they were at the 2BROS show must be the stage lighting. I’m trying to be my hair less so it can grow more but it’s a struggle/ girls will know. Skin care I tend to keep as natural as possible as my skin can flare with hormones so I try to keep foundations to a minimum during the day and water intake up.
