How would you describe your fitness philosophy?
A well-balanced diet and regular exercise make me feel so great about myself. I don’t need a six-pack but knowing I'm keeping my body happy puts a positive vibe into every day.
Since starting a healthier choice I gained motivation to do things and explore the world we have while being fit. A lot of my workouts include cardio, so running up a mountain or along a new beach makes every day different.
How do your travels influence your approach to fitness?
Most of my workout routine includes cardio so if I'm on the move I include a run or long, fast-paced walk.
What is your go-to exercise when you are time poor?
Quick ab burn, this routine will have you sore for days!
- Genie abs x 40

- Flutters x 50
- Star abs x 25
- Clock abs x 12 (clockwise and anti-clockwise)
- Hollow rock x 15
- Single leg drop x25
- Earthquake hold as long as possible
What does a day in the life of Brooke look like?
I wake up at 7:30am, followed by a green tea and breakfast. While eating breakfast I usually check social media and emails.
If I have a photoshoot that day I have a good scrub and wash my hair to be prepped for hair and makeup. If I don’t, I take my puppy Daisy for a walk along the beach.
Another email and social media check when I have lunch. If I don’t make my own, I'm always looking for new cafes. I don’t know why I didn’t become a food blogger!
In the afternoon I usually catch up with my boyfriend and we hike a mountain before sundown and watch the sunset and race to the bottom. Cardio ticked for the day!

What does your typical training schedule comprise of throughout the week?
A mix of cardio, I do try to stay outdoors but if it's wet, I love to do Zumba! If not I take the dogs for a run along the beach or a mountain hike.

The hardest part is getting into a routine. Start a detox tea! It gives you the motivation and puts you on a schedule.
