Midlife Fitness Files: The Telegraph's new health series, in which we get keep fit advice from the experts as they talk us through their weekly workouts and daily diet

Davina McCall is 52 and lives in Kent with her three children. She is currently a panellist on ITVs The Masked Singer and her next TV project will be the new series of ITVs Long Lost Family.

My weight has yo-yoed most of my life. In my early thirties, I would workout loads in the new year, then get totally unfit and start again the following year. But when I had Tily at 36 I couldnt bounce back and knew I had to get serious about fitness. Thats when I met my trainers Jackie and Mark [Wren]. Theyre responsible for a huge turnaround in my life, mentally and physically. Ive learned the yo-yo fitness thing isnt good for me but nor is being overly fit. Now, Im seeking a base level of fitness. My legs get flabby quickly and on telly I like waving my arms around in short sleeves without worrying about a bingo wing flinging around, so I want to be toned all year around.

Health is now my biggest motivator. I lost my sister Caroline to cancer when she was only 52 and my mum also to cancer. Exercise is one thing you can do to prevent all kinds of illness, so keeping fit feels like a gift to myself; an act of self-love.

Im training for a 10km run on February 9th so I do two short runs of about 20-30 minutes and one long run which is about 7-8 miles (about an hour) each week. Ill combine the short runs with a half hour intermediate home workout from ownyourgoalsdavina.com.Ive just discovered Reformer Pilates which as a game-changer, so once a week Ill run for 20 minutes to my local Pilates class, do that for an hour and then run home. On Saturday, Ill do the same thing but with a Spin class, then come home and do a ten minute abs session. About three hours a week of exercise is my ideal but if I am busy I will try do six half hours or a little less. I have a job! Its all I can manage.
