She wrote in the caption: "Even if you have to crawl towards your goals, keep going x it will be worth it. Try and give a little bit of effort each day...I know some days are frustrating as hell, you feel like giving up, you get annoyed at the lack of progress...but good things are coming your way what are your goals this year?"
Rebel got specific with her weight-loss and career goals, too. She wrote: "Ill be honest with you guys - with my 'Year of Health' mission Im trying to get to 75kgs and career wise am trying to get one of my movies into production before the end of the year! Both of these things are requiring a daily effort and theres constant set backs - but Im working hard x" (FYI 75 kg is roughly 165 lbs.)
Rebel has been working out with trainer Jono Castano seven days a week . (She's not kidding about working hard.) Judging by her recent stair sprints and bouts with battle ropes, it seems like she's a fan of high-intensity interval training.
Rebel's healthier 2020 started with simply walking more and making some smart food swaps. "Okay so for me 2020 is going to be called 'The Year of Health,'" she declared on Instagram, "So I put on the athleisure and went out for a walk, deliberately hydrating on the couch right now and trying to avoid the sugar and junk food which is going to be hard after the holidays Ive just had but Im going to do it!"
Earlier this year, she stole the show at the BAFTAs and wowed fans at the Oscars, with many commenting on her apparent weight-loss. Throughout the awards circuit, she looked strong and glowy. (A few sparkly dresses helped her shine bright, too.)
Rebel previously said she accidentally lost weight while shooting Cats , because filmmakers heated the set to sauna-like conditions, so the professional dancers wouldn't pull any muscles while performing the high-intensity dance sequences. I lost eight pounds, shooting my number, in four days, Rebel said. One, because theres a lot of physicalities but also, they heated up the set very high, to almost 100 [degrees] Fahrenheit, so that we could never cool down.
Kudos to Rebel and her inspiring "year of health."
