Shirley Ballas flaunts figure in bikini during juice diet challenge

Shirley Ballas, at 63 years old, recently showcased her figure in a polka dot bikini while participating in her annual juice-only diet retreat in Portugal. This retreat, led by Jason Vale, emphasizes a rigorous schedule that includes spin classes, yoga, and extensive hiking, which Shirley embraced fully. She described the experience as transformative, highlighting the physical challenges and the rejuvenation she felt after a week of intense activity and cleansing treatments, including colonic irrigation. The retreat allows guests to focus on their health without the distraction of food, offering only an optional salad at the beginning and end of their stay. Shirley noted that the program is open to individuals as young as 14, but lacks medical supervision, which has raised some concerns. Despite this, she found the experience rewarding and educational, learning about juicing and engaging in various fitness activities. In her social media posts, Shirley expressed pride in her accomplishments during the retreat, mentioning the exhaustion that came with the rigorous schedule but also the satisfaction of pushing her limits. She also enjoyed socializing with fellow attendees and participating in activities like volleyball and trampolining, which added to her overall enjoyment of the retreat. Shirley’s commitment to her health comes after a health scare in 2022, where she underwent tests for a lump found in her armpit, which fortunately returned clear results. As she prepares for the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing, she emphasizes the importance of self-care and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
