‘She just came paddling past me,’ Elyse told the publication. ‘I just looked at her and thought, “Holy moly are you even human?” this toned, brown, blonde goddess surfing next to me, and she just looked so happy.’
Elyse also gave the fitness title an insight into just what it takes to achieve her own killer physique, and admitted that it’s just as much about mindset as it is about diet and exercise.
‘For me, it isn’t all about your body and appearance – it’s more about my head, keeping positive and just being day-to-day-happy,’ she said.

Balancing act: ‘For me, it isn’t all about your body and appearance – it’s more about my head, keeping positive and just being day-to-day-happy,’ Elyse told the publication about her diet and exercise regime
‘You need to feel vibrant and happy with who you are because you’ve got to strip down to bikinis or underwear most of the time, and you’ve got 30 people watching you.’
Elyse also divulged her day on a plate revealing that her breakfast usually consists of scrambled eggs with pesto, goat’s cheese, avocado and spinach, while lunch is a simple salad.
She added that she will round off the day with a dinner of either salmon or chicken with a guilty treat of blueberries for dessert.
On the workout front, Elyse is certainly no slouch, telling the publication she hits the gym every morning for cardio and weights, while the weekends usually involve running with boyfriend Josh.
