Claudia Winkleman looks incredible in the second series of The Piano on Channel 4, even though she famously ‘hates exercise.’ The 52-year old looks better than ever in her hosting role alongside Mika and Lang Lang, and despite trying to avoid exercise at all costs, she credits her long-lasting good looks to her gym classes, the braces she got later in life, and taking afternoon naps. She also — although dermatologists may advise otherwise — refuses to drink water. Regardless of her animosity towards the gym, Claudia has admitted to dragging herself to workout classes to maintain her toned legs and arms.
Her favourite form of exercise at the moment is a spin class at hit London studio, Psycle.
This is because, according to the BAFTA Award winner: “I’m locked into the bike, so I can’t leave. Because anything else, I will leave.” She told Marie Claire: “I don’t like sweating, I don’t like pain, I can’t get my head around any of it. It’s not for me.
I know when I’m best and that’s lying down.” After spending 45 minutes on a gruelling spin bike, it’s no wonder Claudia feels comfortable showing off her legs in kilts on The Traitors and ball gowns on Strictly. She enjoys the spin studio — which was founded in 2014 and now has five branches across London — because the low lights and the booming music make her feel like she’s on a night out. According to Claudia, at Psycle: “I’m dancing, there are tequila shots, I’m waving at Lenny Kravitz.” For most people, tequila shots during a spin class sound like the worst drink in the world, but for Claudia that label is reserved for water.
