Kate Ferdinand: I’m more like myself when I exercise

Kate Ferdinand feels more like herself when she exercises.

The former ‘Only Way Is Essex’ star – who is expecting her first child with her husband Rio Ferdinand – enjoys exercising throughout her pregnancy as it has helped her feel more like her old self and she loves the consistency.

She shared of her exercise routine: "Hey guys, had so many messages about me working out so thought I would give you a little update … I know I’ve been a bit slack on here recently, I’ve been enjoying phone free time. I know I say this all the time, but it is quite mental for me

"I’ve found especially whilst being pregnant the gym helps me to feel like ‘me’ as much as I can. Being pregnant for the first time there is a lot of unknowns so it’s nice to have some form of consistency where possible."

And Kate is still trying to work out three times a week.

Writing on her Instagram story, she added: "Still getting through my workouts, approx three times a week and a lot less intense. I’ve been really listening to my body and if I feel like I need to rest and take it easy I do."

Meanwhile, Kate previously insisted she is "taking it easy" amidst her pregnancy and is keen to take things at a "slower pace".

Speaking about her exercise regime now she is pregnant, she said recently: "We go for walks with the family, stuff like that, it doesn’t always have to be crazy exercise just as long as you’re moving more than you’re sitting, you still feel good … I think you have to be really careful, take advice form professionals. I definitely don’t think it can stay the same, it has definitely changed. I’m working out at a lot slower pace and taking it easy, listening to my body really."
