‘It just gives me an hour to myself,’ she told the publication.  ‘At the start it was so slow and I was terrible; it was agony and it was really hard. 

‘But with perseverance and persistence, it paid off. I got to my goal of running a comfortable 5km and once I got into the groove’. 

Rebecca says that she avoids strict diets, but will hold back if she has an event coming up.

‘I go through phases. I’m not going to lie, if I’ve got an event, I might do a few extra gym classes or lay off the carbs six weeks before I’ve got to get into a boned-corset dress,’ she added. 

The television host has barely aged a day since she appeared on Channel Seven television reporter in the mid 2000s.
