The Favourite actress has specific fitness tastes  



Dame Helen Mirren is one of the film industry's longest-standing stars with a career spanning 60 years. 

The 1923 star, 79, never fails to impress with her on-screen performances and it has been revealed that a certain fitness plan helps the actress to stay at the top of her game.


It has been reported that the White Bird actress follows a strict daily workout regime, but it is not what you may think. Helen has admitted to following the same 12-minute exercise routine every day for the last 60 years.  


Join HELLO! in getting the full low down on the actress' workout with expert advice from personal trainer and founder of Ladies Who Crunch, Nancy Best.


The exercise programme was originally created by the Royal Canadian Air Force and it involves ten basic exercises, hence its moniker as the XBX programme. The regime ranges in difficulty – though the time limit for each rep remains the same, the number of reps in a set increases according to a levelled system. 


Keeping fit at 79


Nancy Best tells us that maintaining a balanced exercise routine is important at any age and even more so for people in their 70s, like Helen Mirren, who want to maintain strength and mobility.
