Hazel reveals secrets

With her washboard stomach and pert bottom, it’s not surprising Louise Hazel is often asked how she gets her enviable figure.

Now the Commonwealth champion, who recently announced her retirement from international heptathlon, is letting people in on the secrets of her toned body.

She’s become a personal trainer and has devised a new workout and nutritional plan, called the Podium Effect, that’s designed to help people lose weight and shape up. The plan is based upon the Olympian’s own training methods but is aimed at beginners.

She told MailOnline, “People always ask me ‘how do you get your arms and your bum like that? And how do you get your abs?’”

“Now I have the opportunity to share the knowledge and tricks of the trade that made me an elite athlete.

“The 60 day plan reflects what we do as athletes as we know what training we have planned for the next four weeks. I wanted to give the average person access to something like that. I hope I can be a role model and give people the information they need to better themselves.”

The Podium Effect is an online programme that people can subscribe to for £9.99 a month. They can then log in to access workout videos demonstrated by Louise and nutritional advice including meal plans.
