Dame Helen Mirren has replaced the demanding 12-minute Royal Canadian Air Force workout she once relied on with a calmer approach to exercise
The Oscar-winning British actress now spends around 10 to 15 minutes a day doing yoga, admitting the military-style routine had become too exhausting
Mirren had championed the women’s XBX programme for years, returning to its push-ups, sit-ups and running exercises whenever her fitness dipped
Although she described herself as naturally lazy about exercise, the actress said the gradual routine remained a useful way to build strength without joining a gym.
