Helen's love of walking and climbing is likely a factor in her toned physique. "One of the most important (yet underrated) exercises to get toned legs is walking," says fitness pro David Wiener of workout app Freeletics. "Walking has so many different mental and physical health benefits and is incredibly important if you want toned legs."
The star's passion for outdoor swimming, a love that Lorraine Kelly, Amanda Holden and Jasmine Harman also share, will also be a factor in her healthy form.
Cold swimming cause help with weight loss, because it speeds up your metabolism. "You burn calories to stay warm, plus the energy used by shivering mostly comes from stored fat," says Dr. Sarah Brewer of supplement brand Healthspan.
