Rebel Wilson knows all about being in public. Whether she’s talking about her ‘year of health’ or posting swimsuit selfies to Instagram, the actress, writer, and producer doesn’t shy away from discussing how she focuses on her mental and physical health. The star will now share more details about her weight loss journey, and the (extremely easy) exercise that helped to lose 75 pounds.
Apple Fitness+’s season three premiere Time to WalkWilson takes Apple Watch listeners along with her as she hikes Griffith Park in Los Angeles. In this 32-minute episode, Wilson talks about her life-changing weight loss and shares exactly what drove her to be the best version of herself.
“My goal was to get healthier and lose the bodyweight I didn’t want,” she said during the hike. “I knew deep down that I wasn’t the healthiest version of myself because of work commitments.” She said she was going through “some fertility stuff. And the doctor said if I did get healthy, then that would be a lot better for me.” Wilson suffers from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, which “made it harder than an average person would have to lose weight.”
Wilson promised that 2020 would be her year for health. She attended an Austrian wellness retreat, where she gained new insight into her health and wellness goals. “An Austrian doctor said ‘Rebel, the best way for you to lose unwanted body fat is by just simply walking, it doesn’t have to be high intensity or uphill…just simply walk an hour a day.’”
Wilson couldn’t believe the doctor’s advice was so simple. “It just made me think: OK I should take it a bit easier on myself, and just do it gently and do it lightly. In 2020, I lost weight, but slowly. Sometimes I went hard and did some intense workouts. But, the majority of the work for the year was just doing things like walking for an hour.”
Instead of forcing herself to lift weights and do intense workouts at a gym, which left her feeling exhausted, she decided to walk more. She says it was a “simple solution” to something she’d thought about a lot before. “Sometimes the simplest thing like getting out and walking for an hour a day is the kindest thing to your body, and your body will respond to that,” said Wilson.
