Since winning the 14th season of Biggest Loser, Danni Allen has been committed to cardio.
"I work out at 6 a.m., 2 in the afternoon or 10 p.m. at night depending on what I have during the day, but all I know is I have to get it in – there are no more excuses," Allen told PEOPLE at Friday's Step Up Women's Network 10th Annual Inspiration Awards in Beverly Hills, Calif.
And as long as the reality star is getting her sweat on in the Golden State, making good on that promise has been a walk in the park as the West Coast seems to tip the scales in Allen's favor.

Nobody is winning in this situation.
Biggest Loser stars Sam Poueu and Stephanie Anderson have separated – two months before their first child is due.
"It is with great sadness that my marriage to Sam Poueu is ending," Anderson tells PEOPLE in an exclusive statement. "Thank you in advance for respecting our privacy during this difficult time."
The two, who met on the hit NBC show's season 9 and wed in April 2012, are in the process of divorcing – but no papers have been filed yet.

Danni Allen went from a size 20 to a size 4, won $250,000 and was crowned The Biggest Loser on Monday. But most important, she found herself.
"I am different in every which way possible," Allen told reporters Tuesday, the morning after her big win. "The physical transformation is right in front of you, but the mental change that I've gone through has been amazing. I've been able to change who I am going to be."
Allen, 26, became the last member of trainer Jillian Michael's team early in the season, but the adversity she faced on the Ranch allowed her to work through "demons" she says have plagued her throughout her life.
"It was the most heartbreaking thing to lose my team, but looking back, I think it was the best thing that could have happened to me," she said. "I just had to realize, 'You are enough, and you can be more.' "

Our journey together for season 14 of The Biggest Loser has come to an end. Hopefully, you enjoyed Monday's finale!
Each season, I'm always nervous when first meeting the contestants and then uber-nervous for the live finale. What you don't see is that I go on stage right before the live show to say hi to the audience. The best part of that is to see my supportive family in the audience and to see all the alumni that come back year after year as their Biggest Loser family grows with each season.
It's always so fun to see some of the veterans return. I loved seeing Amanda, Sunshine, Estella and Jerry, Dan and Jackie and so many others.

As this season of The Biggest Loser comes to an end on campus, we all love to reflect on just how far the remaining contestants have come.
When we started the season and introduced the show that was going to tackle childhood obesity, many of you were skeptical.
Week after week, Sunny, Lindsay and Biingo inspired all of us and hopefully they inspired you. Their journey has been one of strength, bravery and celebration. To see them transform during the season and to gain self-confidence has been incredibly rewarding.

Did you like this season's Makeover Week? I personally love telling the remaining contestants that they've made it to makeovers because it's always such an important part of the Biggest Loser journey. And as Jeff said, it's the moment when the contestants realize their hard work has paid off.
Tim Gunn and Ken Paves are absolute geniuses every season. Their vision for the contestants' hair and wardrobe changes is always impressive. But this season, they took it to the next level with their transformations of Lindsay, Biingo and Sunny.
I was bummed to not be a part of the makeover reveals because it's always such a special moment. But I loved watching the show at home. I was so happy for every contestant and especially for the kids. Everyone exuded such confidence and joy and I loved the celebration they each could experience.

Alexandra "Alex" Reid may have struggled to keep up with her fellow Biggest Loser contestants on the ranch, but at home she is thriving and happier than ever.
"It's a lot easier being at home to just focus on you and the goal at hand," Reid told reporters about being sent home from the competition.
Reid, 24, was voted out after losing 8 lbs. on the scale – one pound less than she needed to be safe from the threat of elimination.
