She said: "The workout itself was incredibly intense - this is no walk in the park.
"All of the muscles in my body felt like they were being used, particularly my core and lower back, as we did core, arms and legs and soon I was shaking from the effort.
"I was squatting, stretching, lunging, planking, all into different positions and attached to the machine in different ways, and it was pretty rapid with little to no break in between exercises.
"Lorraine was brilliant, helping position me exactly where I needed to be and providing clear and concise instructions." You can read more here.

Can Matheus Cunha and Liam Delap signings boost Chelsea, Manchester United's top four odds?
For more stories like this, click here to follow The Athletic's sports betting section and have them added to your feed. Legendary American basketball coach John Wooden once said, 'Never mistake activity for achievement.' Wooden spent his time coaching players who dribbled with their hands instead of their feet in the 1970s. That means it's unlikely his famous quote was directed at the transfer strategies of Manchester United and Chelsea. Advertisement In acquiring Matheus Cunha and Liam Delap, each club appears to be doing something. Whether early transfer window activity indicates edging closer to securing silverware or a place in the top four next year is another story. At the very least, it represents hope around the Blues' 2/1 and their Manchester counterparts' 5/1 top four odds. Delap and Cunha also share another similarity; their numbers don't tell the whole story of their value to each club. Let's dive deeper into the metrics. Let's not beat around the bush: Ipswich Town were objectively bad this past season. The Tractor Boys' minus-1.01 expected goal (xG) differential per 90 minutes ranked 17th in the league — nearly triple the difference of Wolves in 16th. When attackers like Delap play substantial minutes for a side this dreadful, it raises questions whether their statistics accurately reflect their abilities. At 22 years old, Delap is just about to enter his prime. Considering that context, however, his underlying numbers are, well, not great: Chelsea's incumbent striker, Nicolas Jackson, has his weaknesses, particularly around his finishing, but there's no denying his surface numbers supercede Delap. Jackson's 0.50 non-penalty xG per 90 mark is nearly double Delap's 0.27. While some forwards could make up for that gap with their contributions to build-up play or chance-creation in the final third, the former Tractor Boy doesn't do either of those things. The only thing Delap does better than Jackson is dribble past opposing defenders. For Delap's inclusion to make a significant shift in Chelsea's prospects, his underwhelming numbers have to be a by-product of Ipswich's shortcomings. The Tractor Boys only averaged 40 per cent possession during the 2024-25 season. Kieran McKenna's side also were last in touches and passes into the penalty area. Projecting what this signing means for the South Londoners means trying to determine whether Delap's numbers were underwhelming due to his own poor performance or because his team simply never had possession of the ball. Advertisement Even if the answer lies somewhere in the middle, it's hard to project Delap as the type of player that adds a ton of value to Chelsea's 22/1 title odds. The Blues' top four odds might be a different story. If Delap can prove to be an effective rotation player, then the 2/1 odds for the team to qualify for the Champions League next season seem like the better bet. Delap's numbers call into question his actual level of impact, but it's quite clear the kind of player Cunha is. The 26-year-old is a good, not great, winger whose market value rose thanks to a season buoyed by a fiery finishing streak. The Brazilian scored 15 goals off just 8.6 xG — a conversion rate that even Lionel Messi would be envious of. If the predictive strength of xG has taught us anything, it's that Cunha is headed toward a serious regression next season. Thankfully for United, he does bring a decent dose of playmaking. Cunha ranks in the 80th percentile of all attacking midfielders in expected assists and led Wolves in shot-creating actions last season. Yet even with that all-around production, there's no denying that his signing is simply a signing for the sake of change given the presence of Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho. Rashford almost exactly matches Cunha's production, while the 20-year-old Garnacho offers far more promise. Despite being six years his junior, the young Argentine matched Cunha's non-penalty xG of 0.30 this past season. The problem for United is that Garnacho and Rashford have had a series of run-ins with recent managers. Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim sought to find alternatives, and now the latter seems poised to push both players out of the club. At 8/15 odds to head to Barcelona, Rashford seems destined to leave Old Trafford. Garnacho's most likely destination is also outside of Manchester as Napoli (6/4) are currently the club favoured to secure his services. Advertisement As great as data is, it can't really measure the impact of someone like Cunha slotting into a starting XI match after match without high-profile spats with his manager. Professionalism and locker room cohesion may not matter as much as actually putting the ball in the back of the net, but those intangibles do matter. That said, United finished 12th in non-penalty xG differential last season. This was not an unlucky side needing some stability, it is a side in need of players who move the needle (Bruno Fernandes staying should also help). Cunha is a solid player and perhaps a better fit with Amorim, but those intangible factors aren't enough to make United's 5/1 top four odds any more enticing than they already are.
