Spin classes are the closest I'm getting to a nightclub

MOLLIE KING TALKS TO ELEANOR FLEMING ABOUT FITTING IN THE TIME TO EXERCISE AND EAT WELL

- 

THERE are almost not enough days in the week for former The Saturdays singer Mollie King.

The mother-of-two is so busy with her jam-packed work schedule as a radio presenter and now podcaster - as well as the full-time job of parenting - that she struggles to fit in the time for fitness classes which she says are vitally important for her physical and mental wellbeing.

"I've tried to do a couple of spin classes when I can after work, but that's the closest I'm getting to a nightclub these days," she says.

"You're having a bit of a dance, you're on the bike, you've got great music just blasting out, and I'm thinking, 'this is all I need.'"

If London-based Mollie, 38, cannot go to a class, she says she jumps on her Peloton bike at home.

This is often late in the evenings, as she has to "find extra hours in the day" to prioritise her fitness and wellbeing. So while others are getting into their pyjamas, she is "jumping into (her) leggings".

"Finding that time to exercise and to look after myself has been really difficult, but I'm actually trying to make it a habit, to go, 'Right, I've got to do something here for my own health,' she says.

"So it's often nine o'clock at night, I might run downstairs, jump on the bike for 30 minutes, do a spin class, and at least I know then I've got my cardio in.
