Television and radio presenter Gaby Roslin has revealed her intense daily fitness schedule and kitchen exercise routine in a new interview with Prima magazine.
The 62-year-old broadcaster explained that she stays in shape through a mixture of gym sessions, daily walking, weight training, and quick exercise hacks in her home kitchen.
Roslin detailed her regular routine, which includes doing 60 squats every day alongside press-ups performed against her kitchen worktop. She also incorporates high-intensity interval training, free weights, and daily core exercises into her busy lifestyle.
"Every day I do 60 squats and then some 'kitchen press-ups', down against the kitchen worktop," Roslin told Prima. "I go to the gym, I do weights, I do free weights, I do HIIT."
She added: "If I don't have time for a full workout, I will do 20- or 30-minute HIIT. 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."
Daily fitness and workout schedule
Walking forms a major part of the presenter's fitness regimen. Roslin explained that she walks between seven and 10 miles every single day, keeping active as she moves between work commitments.
"I walk every day, anything between seven and 10 miles. I don't sleep very long hours; I'm always on the go. I've always been like that," she said.
The star emphasised that gym workouts serve both physical and psychological functions for her, helping to protect her long-term cognitive health as well as her fitness.
"I've got a lot of energy but going to the gym is my time and I know it's really important for our physical body, for our mental health and also to stave off dementia," Roslin explained.
Alongside her fitness talk, Roslin has consistently used her public platform to highlight health issues. Last summer, she opened up about a previous bowel cancer scare after experiencing symptoms in 2001.
After noticing blood in her stool following childbirth, she consulted a doctor and was relieved to learn the issue was caused by piles. However, the experience prompted her to take immediate action due to a family history of the disease.
"I was like, 'Oh my God, I need to find out about it', because I obviously had a history of bowel cancer in my family," Roslin recalled.
Bowel cancer awareness and family history
Roslin's concern stemmed from her father Clive Roslin, a former BBC radio announcer, who was diagnosed with bowel cancer in the late 1990s. He sought medical advice after returning from a holiday with her mother and telling his family he was having bowel control issues.
"He came back from a holiday with mum and told us he'd started pooing himself," Roslin shared when recalling the diagnosis. "Then he found some blood in his poo and told his brother. Thank goodness he did, for his brother - a doctor - urged him to seek help immediately. It was caught early."
During her father's treatment, Roslin discovered that television broadcasters avoided discussing bowel symptoms on air due to social taboos surrounding the subject.
She recounted an interview where a journalist told her father: "Sorry Clive, you just can't say poo." Her father replied: "But that's what I'm talking about - bowel cancer."
Roslin has actively campaigned to break down stigmas around the illness for three decades. She worked closely with her late friend Dame Deborah James, the inspirational campaigner known as Bowelbabe, who passed away from bowel cancer at age 40 in 2022.
Most recently, Roslin shared her story during the launch of Toilet Talk, a social media awareness series created in collaboration with the Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK.
Speaking to The Sun about the campaign, Roslin said: "If this series helps even one person catch their bowel cancer early, it's worth it. If there's blood or changes in your poo, don't sit on it - see a doctor!"
Bowel cancer statistics and television career
Bowel cancer remains one of the most common cancers worldwide. More than 44,000 new cases are diagnosed annually in the United Kingdom, while nearly 142,000 cases are diagnosed each year in the United States.
Roslin first achieved nationwide television fame co-presenting the Saturday morning children's show Motormouth on ITV between 1989 and 1992. She then joined Channel 4's flagship morning series The Big Breakfast alongside Chris Evans, presenting the show from 1992 until 1996.
She went on to present the BBC's annual Children in Need fundraising specials from 1995 to 2004, establishing herself as one of British television's most prominent hosts.
The October 2026 issue of Prima featuring Roslin's interview is available on newsstands now.
