Sports presenter Kirsty Gallacher doesn't just report on what's happening in the world of sport, she is a keen fittie as well.

Here she shares her six summer fitness tips for days when the weather is too bad to do an outdoors workout.

  1. Aim to visit the gym for three short exercise sessions a week.
  2. You don’t need to be at the gym for hours, just make the time you are there effective – quality not quantity.
  3. Each of your sessions should consist of a mixture of interval training and circuits
  4. For your interval training, hit the rower for 20 minutes switching between a hard and fast pace and normal speed every 20 seconds.
  5. For your circuits, include press-ups, weighted lunges and sit-ups. Do 20 of each and repeat three times.
  6. Your workout kit is really important – support and comfort are a must. My personal favourites are USA Pro Crop Top and Cycle Shorts.
