Roz Purcell has revealed why she works out up to 11 times a week – and her reason isn’t all physical.
The 26-year-old is a huge fitness fanatic, and has gained serious success with her best-selling cookbook Natural Born Feeder.
Although Roz loves to keep in shape physically, she works out a lot to keep her mental health in check too.
“I’m always training. For me, it’s what I enjoy doing. I don’t want to sound excessive, but I would train 10 or 11 times a week – a mixture of boxing, yoga, legs, arms and different classes. I’d take a rest day once a fortnight, but if I wake up sore, I’ll take another one,” she told VIP Magazine.

“[Mental health] it’s one of the biggest reasons I train. For me, it has such huge benefits. It sounds a bit weird but I just have so much energy and always feel raring to go. Sometimes if I do miss training, I feel a bit antsy, but I have become a lot better with taking my rest days. I’ve found a good balance for me.”
Despite being known for her nutritious recipes, Roz revealed that she’s not afraid of having a cheat meal every now and again, as its always good to keep a balance with your diet.
“I’m not afraid of comfort food at all. I train so much that I don’t feel guilty if I eat something gluttonous. I don’t drink a lot, maybe six times a year, but if I’m with other people and we’re all hanging and they’re all ordering pizza, I’ll have some,” she said.

“If people are over, I like to make things like lentil curry bake or a one-pot wonder and if it’s just me and Rachel, something like healthy burrito bowls. I like to mix it up. I’m very 80:20 with my food. I don’t always eat clean as I don’t like to deprive myself. I bake four times a week so I’m always eating cake and buns.”
The brunette beauty also opened up about how happy she is in her relationship with Zach Desmond, who she started dating last year.
“I’m just really happy in where I am at the moment. I love my job and what I’m doing. I’m living with my best friend. I’m in a new relationship and I’m very happy with Zach. Overall, I’m feeling good. I’m enjoying where I’m at,” she added.
