Gemma Atkinson looks stunning in crop tops and leggings in first pics of her new activewear range
The actress shows off her well toned gym body as she models her new fitness clothes
GEMMA Atkinson showed off her famous abs and toned legs in the first pics of her new activewear range.
The Strictly star is well known for going to the gym, and it looks like her hard work has paid off.
Gemma - who is enjoying a romance with her Strictly co-star Gorka Marquez - modelled for her new fitness range GA by Gemma Atkinson.
The actress showcased her toned tum and legs in the yoga pants and crop top.
She can be seen modelling different colours and styles.
In the pictures she has her blonde hair in curls and her make-up is subtle.
Gemma is known for her gym-honed physique but after appearing on Strictly the former Emmerdale star joked that she was the only contestant in the history of Strictly to have gained weight during the show.
That, she says, was down to a combination of sacking off her usual weight-training regime at the gym and an Aljaž-inspired diet of pizza, giant Toblerones and all-you-can-eat Chinese buffets.
Speaking recently to Fabulous: she said: "I don’t really weigh myself, but my jeans felt tighter and the tops of my arms felt heavier.
"From my first dance to the show dance in the final – oh my god, I’d really put some weight on. I was never worried about it, though. We just used to laugh about it and my little chubby face.”
She’s lost it all again since getting back to the gym, where she works out four times a week.
Strong, toned and healthy, she’s proud of her body and has learned to ignore the social media trolls who try to tear her down for daring to be a woman with muscle definition. Her bodyis awesome, by the way.
“Lads message me saying: ‘You’ve gone too far, you look like a man.
"I feel like saying: ‘Well, lift heavier and maybe you will too!’ Maybe they’re intimidated by a woman who is physically or mentally stronger than they are.”
She added: “If you’re a guy who wants to say something nasty to a woman online, go home and say it to your mum first. I bet most of them wouldn’t.
More on Gemma Atkinson
“I think as I’ve got older, I’ve realised that it doesn’t really bother me what a stranger thinks. If it’s friends or a family member then I take it on board, but if a stranger has an opinion on how I look or dress then I just feel sorry for them.
“I’m never going to be a petite size 8 – I’m 5ft 9in.
"I’m broad and I’ve accepted that, and I like the way I am. As long as you’re healthy and you feel good, that’s what counts."
