Julia Bradbury, 46, reveals she’s taking up POLE DANCING to stay in shape

The former Countryfile presenter proved she is looking better than ever as she flaunted her enviable figure in a pink sports bra and purple leggings.

Showing off her toned abs and incredible physique, the mother-of-three admitted in an interview with Fit & Well magazine that she has cranked up her fitness regime by taking up pole dancing.

Julia even confessed she has installed a pole in her West London home.

But the Britain's Best Walks presenter does still credit walks for getting her back to her pre-pregnancy body.

The 46-year-old had to go back to work six months after having her twin daughters, Xanthe and Zena, who are now two-years-old but explained she wanted more time off.

“I would have liked longer off, but it was already being planned out,” she said.

She continued: “I was filming six different locations over seven weeks and I walked off my baby weight.

“You’re working hard on those shoots, on your feet for 10 hours a day and covering miles. I think on one day we did about 25,000 steps.”

But when she isn’t hiking long distances, Julia revealed the school run has helped her keep active and she uses a tracker to ensure she hits 10,000 steps a day.

She confessed: “The other night it was about 11pm and I’d done 9,800 steps, so I ran up and down the stairs to get something, just so I’d hear the ‘ding’ to tell me I’d done my 10,000!”

The television presenter - who also has a five-year-old son with partner Gerard Cunningham - admitted being a mother has changed her body.

"My tummy’s changed. I’m getting older, too, so it’s important to take stock," she added.

However, Julia said it doesn’t mean she’s giving up her favourite chocolate biscuit.
