1. Running

Laura has said she loves running in the past, always packing a pair of trainers when she's shooting on location so she can spend some time pounding the pavements.

"Taking up running can change your life and transform your legs into the toned legs you wished for."

2. Dancing

Laura took part in Strictly Come Dancing back in 2016 and was most excited to perform the jive – an opportunity she sadly missed after sustaining an injury.

Earlier this year the presenter proved she's still nifty on her feet, uploading a video of herself and husband Iain Stirling dancing the jive on Instagram.

Both Laura and Iain looked seriously impressive on the dancefloor – and no doubt worked up quite a sweat.

While dancing feels like fun, it does challenge the body as celebrity trainer Monique Eastwood explains: "The multidirectional moves in dance are a great way to challenge the core muscles, as they are constantly being stimulated during the movement sequences."
