Love Island’s Malin Andersson enjoys al fresco workout

She recently insisted that her decision to try and loose a few pounds is all about feeling stronger and healthier. 

And Malin Andersson, 26, got into the swing of things as she worked up a sweat in her local park in Bedford on Monday.

The Love Island star, who has long been a champion of body positivity and mental well-being, donned a black long-sleeved crop top for the workout.

The reality star teamed her stomach-grazing top with a pair of high-waisted black gym leggings, which hugged her curves as she performed a number of different exercises. 

Making sure her hair was not in the way, Malin scraped her lengthy tresses into a ponytail while going make-up free for the tough workout.

The 2016 Love Island contestant showed off her strength as she lifted weights as well as her stamina lunging and squatting.

Malin’s workout session comes after she took to Instagram on Saturday to reveal that she has been feeling lethargic due to the weight she has gained during lockdown.

Alongside a lengthy caption on her page, Malin showcased her sizzling physique in a black crop top and a lacy thong as she revealed her weight loss plans.

Malin contained her considerable assets in a supportive balcony bra, while she teamed it the thong as she showcased her killer curves.

The Refuge charity ambassador has spoken openly about her about six year eating disorder and has spent years campaigning for people to accept their imperfections.

While the decision to slim down may appear to contradict Malin’s body-positive message, the influencer explained that her belief in self-acceptance regardless of shape or size remains as strong as ever.

Malin wrote a detailed post explaining that not working out and giving up meat and fish had left her feeling lethargic, bloated and less healthy.

The former makeup artist wrote: ‘Ok so I woke up this morning and felt lazy and a bit lethargic. So I weighed myself.

‘I haven’t weighed myself for a good few months as it’s not something I do anymore.I have gained a stone. I want to explain to you guys why I want to lose that one stone.”

The columnist shared that she had decided to combat her low energy levels by switching up her diet, reintroducing seafood and upping her workout routine.

Malin continued: ‘For those of you that follow me you’ll know I gave up meat around a year ago, fish a few months ago. Only recently I have woken up tired, very hard to get out of bed (usually a 5am gal).. and struggling with energy throughout the day even though I’ve been taking correct supplements. 

‘For me body positivity includes HEALTH. I have always advocated for good health and well-being, it all ties together with mental health.’

Bedfordshire beauty Malin also posted several clips of herself making a healthy breakfast of boiled eggs, tomatoes and guacamole.

Malin, who has bravely discussed her battles with binge eating and alcohol dependency explained that for her, changing her diet is all about being fit and strong.  

‘The influencer wrote: ‘So the reason behind this post, as I’m always open with ya’ll – is that I want to lose a stone. For my HEALTH!

‘Heath is wealth. Health is great mental-wellbeing. Health enables me to live as long as possible.’ 

Malin finished her candid post  by writing: ‘I advocate for body positivity – but that to me is an all rounder – it’s about me showing you that imperfections are actually perfect and normal whatever shape and size. It has nothing to do with weight.

‘Perhaps I’ve inspired someone to do the same today. Not to necessarily weigh them selves as this used to trigger me (it doesn’t anymore – but to check-in with their health.’
