INTERVIEWS: EMILY HORAN, LAURA BENJAMIN AND ROSIE SMITH
While lockdown continues, it’s more important than ever that we all look after ourselves, both mentally and physically. After bringing you expert tips on food, decluttering, styling, hairdressing and skincare over the past few weeks, HELLO! provides some unique cocktail tips from a Hollywood star – as well as giving you celebrity and expert advice on how to keep your minds and bodies fit and ready to cope with extra pressure…
NELL McANDREW
As an avid runner who has completed eight marathons, Nell McAndrew is the perfect person to explain the advantages of taking up the sport during lockdown.
“Running is so important to me,” the TV personality tells HELLO!. “When we have been in lockdown, it’s been a luxury to get out and get moving. “It helps so many people feel more positive mentally and it makes you feel more in the moment, as well as taking away all your worries. You can forget about the awful things going on and it feels like you’re recharging yourself.”
She is backed up by none other than the Duchess of Cambridge (below), who last week posted a video to mark Children’s Mental Health Week.
Breaking off from her jog, Kate urged parents and carers to also take care of themselves emotionally.
“This is a hugely challenging time for us all so please look after yourself, too,” she said. Nell, who offers live sessions and tips on her Instagram page, also wants HELLO! readers to share their fitness journeys with her.
“If people tag me on their running photos on Instagram, I could give them some encouragement or share with my followers, as so many are runners themselves so will be supportive and encouraging,” she says.
