For starters, HIIT and weight training was something which helped Rebel lose quick kilos. She followed a combination of workout styles like HIIT, resistance, training for six days a week.

Circuit training is also something the actress experiments with. Some of her favourite exercises include squats, lunges and also workouts with a Bosu ball. What is rather inspiring is that even on her cheat days, Rebel makes sure to meet her 10,000 step goal!

While Rebel admitted that she suffered from emotional eating, one of the things she changed in her diet was saying no to sugar (which is something which helped Adele too in her weight loss journey). Apart from this, Rebel cut down on her junk food habits, made sure she had a lot of fibre in her meals, met her calorie requirements and ate in moderation.

What is even more impressive is that Rebel didn't restrict her fitness journey to a number, and instead, worked to get her health back on track. For someone who avoided the gyms and is now waiting for the gyms to reopen, it has been one healthy change for the actress. She said in an interview,

"I'm determined. So I am trying to lose a lot of my body fat and become a healthier person. It is not so much about a number."
