Love Island’s Alexandra Cane shows off her toned body in skintight leopard print as she reveals weight-busting workout
LOVE Island's Alexandra Cane has shown off her incredible two-stone weight loss in stunning new workout snaps as she reveals how she stays in shape.
The reality star is keen to share her own body transformation success with others after lunges, squats and planks helped give her a new lease of life.
She told The Sun Online: "I’ve had so many people saying that my workouts are keeping them sane at the moment, which is so lovely to hear.
"It’s just so difficult for everyone at the moment to keep in shape and keep anxiety at bay but working out from home is a brilliant for both.
"It released endorphins and refocuses your mind. You feel so positive and energised after exercise!
"It also helps you avoid gaining the ‘quarantine 15’ pounds which is so easy when we’re all stuck at home."
In her latest workout snaps Alexandra smiles as she demonstrates exercises in skintight leopard print co-ords.
Earlier this month she told The Sun Online she "didn't recognise" herself after losing two stone.
But her weight loss didn't come without its challenges. She was forced to deny having secret liposuction surgery after cruel trolls accused her of faking her weight loss.
Others judged her for changing her image to look like her "skinny" co-stars from the 2018 ITV2 series.
Alexandra hit back at criticism and said she felt "proud" of herself every day for turning her life around.
"I can understand why people thought that about my transformation, but now I feel as fit as a fiddle," said Alexandra.
“I never did this to lose weight or look a certain way. I’ve always believed that you should strive for self-acceptance, whatever weight you are.
"In Love Island I thought I was healthy, but I look back now and think I couldn't even walk up a hill without getting out of breath.
"Now I'm so full of energy and I don't have brain fog. I'm hydrated and full of life.
"When I compare myself from then and now, the way I feel inside is like a whole new woman.
