24 hours with Susannah Taylor
We joined beauty and wellness journalist Susannah Taylor at her Cotswolds home to chat about all things fitness. She lets us in on her non-negotiable morning run, her time spent foraging in her greenhouse for a tasty lunch. And tells us about her fitness inspirations including Olympic medallist Simone Biles to the surprising Spencer Matthews.
Okay Susannah over to you!

Walking!

Switch it up. Don’t just do one type of exercise… I do yoga, walking, running, swimming…it means I never get bored.
