Alison said that she leaves the gym feeling 'amazing' after working hard but while she is keen to try thing, there is one wellness practice she won't adopt.
She continued in an interview with Closer Magazine: 'I did try one of those gold plunge pools once - and absolutely not! It lasted about a minute. I was like, "Why am I literally trying to kill myself?"'

Reformer Pilates, loved by Meghan Markle and Jennifer Aniston, costs around £25 to £40 for a 45-minute class and is surging in popularity in the UK.
Alison previously told how weight loss jabs weren't for her, opting against using them because she was 'frightened' of 'scary' stories surrounding them.
She told Good Housekeeping UK: 'I think that, for people who need to use them, they're a good thing - but for me, as soon as I hear any scare story, I get frightened.'
The presenter added: 'So I haven't wanted to use them, but that's not to say I wouldn't in the future, and I certainly wouldn't look down on anyone who did.'
Alison has lost 11 stone over the past five years, prompted by the discovery that she was pre-diabetic – a situation she has reversed with healthier food choices and workouts.

The TV personality, who weighed 28 stone at her heaviest, told Heat: 'I've got a personal trainer - she's amazing, she trains me when I can train. If I'm working, I don't train, I'll go for a walk.'

'I don't deny myself anything, I eat everything, but in moderation,' she added.
Alison also revealed how her mother Maria, who died in January 2020 from lung and liver cancer, influenced her decision to overhaul her lifestyle.
