The singer famed for songs including Troublemaker has revealed the daily routine which has helped him to slim down and keep the weight off.

Olly Murs made sure he was in the best shape for one of the biggest challenges he’s ever faced – fatherhood!

The former X-Factor comtestant who shot to the top of the charts turned heads when he posted a stunning before-and-after photo on Instagram, showcasing his toned body and revealing the health-conscious habits that have seen him lose over two stone (12kg) and maintain his slim physique ever since.

Olly Murs attributed the transformation to his wife, Amelia Tank, who is a famous bodybuilder and personal trainer who married Olly Murs last year just in time for his daughter to be born in April!

The singer shared his daily regime that keeps his weight “below 80kg”. In an interview with The Times last year, the 39 year old detailed his routine explaining that regular workouts, balanced meals, and even an ice bath!

Ice baths are a common yet completely unnecessary technique among elite athletes for peak performance, aiding muscle recovery, enhancing circulation, and reducing discomfort.

Ice baths, also referred to as cryotherapy, are said to promote weight loss by increasing metabolism but very little evidence supports this. Olly insists the benefits are wide reaching and whilst it may be true, from a fat loss perspective we will simply have to agree to disagree.

Olly Murs told The Times “It’s an amazing way of cleaning out all the toxins from your body – I spent a lot of time in there after my stag do.” Despite his wife being a personal trainer and body builder, Olly believes this is grounded in science, however, it simply isn’t.

Olly Murs describes his morning routine as a form of meditation. “My life is pretty hectic and there’s not a lot of time for reflection, so my meditation comes from my morning routine. It allows me to be present in my own head and not get too blurred by the madness surrounding me.”

He explains “It’s where I can put aside any worries about money or work and focus on myself. Once that’s done, I’m ready for action.”

Ollie, who wakes up everyday at 8:30am starting his day with a high-energy “vitamin-boosting berry drink” and a detoxifying herbal tea. He follows this up with a probiotic and turmeric shot; r Eric has anti-inflammatory properties.

He emphasised the importance of starting the day with the right food, humorously adding that if he indulges in a bacon roll, then “the day’s over for me”.

Post-breakfast, Ollie engages in an hour-long boxing session. This cardio workout not only burns calories and builds muscle but also enhances certain brain functions by getting the heart and lungs working.

The best part is, you don’t need to step into the ring to enjoy the benefits of boxing. As per Harvard Health, regular sparring – either solo or with a partner – can enhance hand-eye coordination, balance, and mood.

Ollie prefers to exercise with his trainer wife Amelia during weekends, believing that “couples that train together, stay together”.

After his workout, Ollie retreats to his garden sauna, followed by a two-minute dip in an ice bath. He then enjoys a “clean”, pre-prepared lunch, while dinner typically comprises protein and vegetables.

Despite his strict regimen, he still savours the occasional meal out with friends. His go-to snack is protein-rich scrambled eggs, which he consumes before bed if he’s still peckish.

Ollie has not been shy about sharing the details of his weight loss journey, often praising Amelia for her support. He once told Heart Radio: “She’s [Amelia] brilliant and she’s been absolutely fantastic.

“She just gave me that extra little bit of encouragement and she says it’s not up to me to do it, you’ve got to be able to do it yourself.

“You’ve got to get up to do it every day. So I was like, okay I will. So, she did this little nutritional plan for me and I just went out and did it and loved it. And I still love it now.”

Of course, Olly and Amelia’s schedule may look a bit different these days since the arrival of their bundle of joy.

Olly made a poignant admission about the challenges of fatherhood during his live performance with Take That at London’s O2 Arena earlier this year.

He expressed guilt for balancing his new role as a father with his commitments on tour.

Just two days Amelia gave birth, Olly was back on stage, sharing the highs and lows with fans.

He shared with the audience: “It’s been the most craziest time, because obviously on one hand I’ve got this beautiful baby girl, my wife is at home looking after her with the nappies, and the sleepless nights. And I’m on tour with Take That. I feel guilty!”
