As any non-Morning Person will understand, meeting super fit people who struggle with the a.m. hours as much as you do is hugely comforting. Case in point: despite being a Nike+ Training Club Tour ambassador, occasional marathon runner, and I’m a Celebrity… survivor, Laura Dundovic is one of us.

“I’m not a morning person … I love to work out in the evening but it always ends up having to be the morning,” she says. So how exactly does the former Miss Universe Australia coax her sorry self out of bed and into her joggers? She’s got a few tricks up her sleeve.
“I changed the alarm on my phone to be a really exciting song, something a bit gangster, so I wake up singing then and I’m out of bed.

The Glow caught up with Laura earlier this week to discuss the upcoming Nike + Training Club Tour — a full-day training challenge in Sydney — and all things health and fitness.

How did your time on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here effect your health?
“I lost about 5.5 kilos … but I’ve put it back on fairly quickly. I think a lot of it was in fluid. Last time I checked I’d put back four kilos so it’s fine; I’ve bounced back with lots of dinners and socialising.

I was quite tired as well but I find exercise gives me energy so I tried to keep that up. I did a lot more meditation, stretching and yoga there so I came back feeling good in that way.”
