Social media is instrumental in today’s era. Two things you love and hate about it?
Lucy Spraggan:
I spend a lot of time on social media but often say I wouldn’t have it at all if it wasn’t for my job. It’s incredibly useful, it’s such a great way to gain new fans, to have followers feel more personally connected and to reach a wider audience but it doesn’t come without it’s negative parts. Everybody has an opinion – and that’s a fact of life – but it’s not always nice to hear someone’s opinion on their interpretation of you. By providing that insight into your everyday life some people can make assumptions about you and make some pretty horrible comments based on that. On the flipside, I receive thousands of wonderful messages of support and love. I appreciate those people so much.

Biggest fitness/weight loss myth that needs to be busted?
Lucy Spraggan:
That there is a secret to it all – there isn’t. There is no meal replacement shake or skinny coffee that will make you fit OR make you happy. I should know, I’ve tried most of them.
Working at a calorie deficit and exercising frequently WILL make you lose weight. Feeding your body the fuel it needs to maintain weight and perform WILL make you feel good. But YOU are the only person who can achieve those things. There is no secret, just pure will-power, and everyone, deep down, has that somewhere.

Athleisure brands that you love?
Lucy Spraggan:
I love Under Armour. The sizing of their sports bras is spot on and they offer the right amount of support. I have a New Balance running jacket and legging combo that I adore for those colder/windier runs.

Any advice you would like to give to your younger inner self?
Lucy Spraggan:
I would love to have told myself something constructive and inspirational but my younger self wouldn’t have listened! I never did! I’d tell myself that one day I’ll be comfortable in my own skin and that it will all work out. Also ‘Stop dying your hair’.
Namita Nayyar:
Resolutions or goals for 2022?
Lucy Spraggan:
To keep fit and healthy, productive and creative. To focus on the important things and not feel overwhelmed in stressful situations. I want to train hard and keep on the right track with nutrition. My biggest goal is to stay happy!
