Melanie Sykes credits her figure to two yoga sessions a week and cutting dairy and alcohol from her diet

Melanie Skyes looks good in a bikini and she talked to Your Fitness about hitting the gym for its benefits on her well-being, rather than her physical health.

She told the magazine: 'Fitness keeps me mentally happy, and it's an investment into my old age. Starting training in my 30s has definitely paid off in my 40s, and I'm hoping to keep myself fit and healthy with the right foods and exercise so that I have energy and am content into my later years.'

The brunette credits her figure to two yoga sessions a week, and cutting dairy and alcohol from her diet although chocolate still remains her vice.

Melanie wrote on her website: I pretty much stopped drinking around my 45th birthday after reading Amilia Freer’s Eat. Nourish. Glow. book.

"I was hitting a milestone age and really wanted to clean up my diet and start focusing on my health more. I was already training and sort of healthy, but I wanted to go to the next level.

"I would still have the occasional blow out with mates, but more recently I thought I would stop drinking alcohol entirely and see how it goes," she says.
