Alesha Dixon wows fans with muscles during workout using baby Anaya as weight

Alesha Dixon has been beating coronavirus isolation boredom by working out while enjoying the company of her two adorable daughters.

Her girls Azura, six, and Anaya, seven months, who she shares with hubby Azuka Ononye, have been helping their mum keep fit in quarantine as she uses them as makeshift weights.

During Monday's daily fitness session, Alesha, 41, enlisted little Anaya’s help as a weight as the mum-of-two filmed herself doing sets of sit ups.

The Britain’s Got Talent Judge lifted her daughter high in the air before planting a kiss on her face with each movement.

She then performed squats while her baby daughter dangled in her arms, looking wide-eyed at the camera.

Alesha showed her baby daughter off to her 986,000 followers as she switched to baby-weighted lunges, all in the comfort of her lavish home gym.

The singer admitted she missing her personal trainer Janet Malinowska, and was forcing herself back into the gym after new quarantine rules left her unable to work-out with help.

She told fans: “So I'm really missing aunty @janetmalinowska & I'm not always as motivated without her! But today is a new day!

“I started my workout whilst Anaya was napping but she woke up after 20 minutes so I thought I'd do it with her!

“I can't go in as hard as I normally would but at least the workout was completed, I had a good sweat and feel much better for it.”

She added: “Working out using your own body weight or your babies is just as good!!! Anaya is only tiny, so the bigger she gets the better!

“Just try some simple sit ups, backward lunges, press ups & squats, see how you get on! Happy Monday.”

On Tuesday, Alesha enlisted the help of her oldest daughter Azura who took on her role as her mum’s new personal trainer.

The six-year-old clung to her mum’s neck while she demonstrated her incredible form while doing mountain climbers and squats.

Her giggling daughter was full of energy as Alesha revealed the pair had tried to join in Joe Wicks’ daily PE lesson, but Azura had made up her own routine that morning.

Alesha joked her personal trainer Janet had some competition as her daughter oozed confidence while energetically taking her mum through her new fitness routine.

The fitness fanatic has shared a glimpse into life in isolation with her beautiful family just weeks after she confessed she is considering having another child because of pressure from her eldest daughter.
