Gaby Roslin, 62, has detailed her rigorous daily fitness regimen, which includes strength training, high-intensity interval training, and significant amounts of walking, contributing to her maintained slim figure. Roslin revealed in an interview with Prima that her routine incorporates 60 squats and "kitchen press-ups" daily, alongside gym sessions focusing on weights and core work.
"If I don't have time for a full workout, I will do 20- or 30-minute HIIT [session]," Roslin stated. "I'll do 10 minutes of core every day. And I do some online workouts. And I walk from each of my jobs, so I'm very lucky."
She prioritizes walking, covering between seven and 10 miles each day, and described herself as "always on the go." Roslin emphasized the importance of her fitness routine not only for physical health but also for mental well-being and "to stave off dementia."
Beyond her fitness, Roslin has been a vocal advocate for bowel cancer awareness for three decades, a cause particularly close to her due to her father Clive's battle with the disease in the late nineties. She also shared her own past scare in 2001, when she found blood in her stool, which was later attributed to piles from childbirth.
Roslin has collaborated with the Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK, participating in initiatives like the social media series "Toilet Talk." She stressed the importance of seeking medical attention for any changes in bowel habits. "If there's blood or changes in your poo, don't sit on it - see a doctor!" she urged.
Her father, a former BBC radio announcer, was diagnosed with bowel cancer after noticing blood in his stool and experiencing other symptoms. Roslin recounted how her father's brother, a doctor, advised him to seek immediate help, which led to his cancer being caught early. The presenter noted that discussing bowel cancer was considered taboo during her father's diagnosis, with interviewers sometimes hesitant to use direct language.
Roslin first gained public recognition co-presenting "Motormouth" on ITV from 1989 to 1992, followed by "The Big Breakfast" on Channel 4 from 1992 to 1996. She also hosted the Children in Need charity specials on the BBC between 1995 and 2004.
