With nine seasons of co-hosting The Block under her belt, it seems like mum-of-two Shelley Craft is only getting younger with each year that passes.

But with Benjamin Button-like tendencies ruled out, Shelley recently revealed to New Idea what really keeps her ‘Block fit’. In between “those sleepless nights” filming in Melbourne and back home in Byron Bay, where she recently completed a renovation on her family’s beautiful 1950s beach shack, the 44-year-old credits her enviable health to three very important lifestyle factors:

Meditation
While frequent travel for work can be a huge disruption to anyone’s routine, Shelley admits she uses those plane trips between Melbourne and Byron as her time to relax and unwind, “I find those two hours are my downtime. I take it as my real meditation moments,” she said.
Intermittent Fasting
When it comes to her diet, Shelley reveals she’s found positive results with intermittent fasting where she eats between the time frame of midday to 6pm, “I find this gets my digestion working well – it never feels like I’m fasting”.
Surfing
When she’s not surrounded by tradies, cameras and building sites, you’ll find Shelley on the beach having a surf with her family.

Have you tried any of these wellness methods? If so, which one?
Why does she have a bed in the garden?
Yes! Getting down the beach is the ultimate relaxation for me as I also get to muck about in the surf! totally get her!
Must be part of her meditation routine lol
I’m surprised she surfs! I wouldn’t have picked that. It may just be her on-camera personality, but she seems so positive and happy all the time and that’s gotta make a difference when it comes to her approach to taking care of herself. I’ve wanted to make meditation part of my daily routine for so many years now, I just feel guilty for not getting things done or feel like I won’t be able to relax with so much on my mind. She’s lucky in that respect that she gets that regular guaranteed time when she’s flying!
I’ve always wanted to try surfing, it looks like fun!
Do not have tv, so do not know her. She looks gorg! Well , having 2 kids, 2 dogs…she has so much work to do! Plus all those seasons shooting things…she definitely needs meditation =D
I am simple: whole plant foods, relaxing a lot, sleeping at least 8-9 hours and just being raw
hahaha…good one Hayley! Well, she likes to be active in the garden too 😉
Shelley Craft must have boundless energy, I tend to eat breakfast and have a Bigger Lunch Meal and have a light snack about 3 pm in the afternoon don’t eat anything until breakfast time.
Seems to work for me.
The fasting I do but she only eats between 12-6? I hope she has a liquid breakfast like a smoothie!
Meditation & intermittent fasting are both brilliant & I recommend trying them.
She’s got good skin for a regular beach-goer – she must use sunscreen!
I grew up by the beach and used to surf. It kept me really fit and it was lots of fun.
great outdoor lady sure looks different these days
There is so much talk about this way of eating but everyone needs to remember that ‘one size does not fit all’ …. There are many medical conditions that this form of eating would not work for. I think we all need to find our own balance and do what we do rather then worrying about what everyone else does.
I do intermittent fasting but I’m not into surfing and meditation. I have lots of ‘me’ time and I get lots of sleep so maybe I don’t need the meditation.
She looks wonderful. Intermittent fasting is great and it sounds like she has found a lifestyle that works for her.
I love the bed outside!
I’ve never tried surfing, but a trip to the beach is always relaxing.
I tried intermittent fasting and lost 1.5 kgs in six weeks. My husband tried for two weeks and lost 4kgs. I gave up 🙁 A small loss is better than no loss, so I really should give it another go.
Meditation is key
I did intermittent fasting but it also made me feel weak.
I remember reading an article years ago where Shelley wanted lots of children – something like 6 kids. Looks like 2 were enough for here schedule.
Shelley is just lovely
She is just so glsmourous, but in no way am i saying i love myself less. Well here is my own secret of looking fit and the fat burners that gave me a success story

I think she’s really nice, the fasting is good to know.
I think it’s better to maintain a better and healthy life by following the shellely craft fitness techniques .. as for better hair loss treatment visit fue hair transplant center Islamabad ……
She looks great!
Great tips, but I personally need to do more physical exercise than this to stay fit.
I wouldn’t be able to stick to those strict eating hours
Beautiful skin and person I love watching Shelley Craft.
I’ve been meaning to try meditation – when I get the time!
Shelley is lovely
