The former “This Morning” presenter Holly Willoughby is returning to our screens on July 28 with her YouTube-based lifestyle series, Holly Willoughby Together. Her content will focus on celebrity interviews, beauty, cooking, fashion, and practical advice. 

Her platform has changed, but her focus has always remained on health and well-being. 

According to Women’s Health, in a 2023 Instagram video, Willoughby revealed that she wakes up at 6 AM and captioned it, “It’s a tried-and-tested mix of cold showers to refresh my skin, face masks, a good cuppa tea, candles, some meditation and some basic 'wake-up' makeup magic for my eyes.”

The article further discussed her morning routine. Over the years, she shared the habits that make up her morning routine. Some of the essential habits in her morning routine are discussed below.

Holly Willoughby’s go-to workout routine

The former “The Games” presenter practices 'some sort of boxing.' According to the Daily Mail, this “300 calories in 30 minutes” session includes exercises like:

• Shadow boxing
• Skipping
• Hitting pads 

However, she had never confirmed this herself. The Sun once reported that, according to sources, “Holly loves kickboxing and even has a kickboxing bag in her spare room, so she can work out at home.”

She took up Pilates 

Willoughby has practiced Pilates since 2012, after giving birth to her daughter Belle. In fact, Lynne Robinson, director of Body Control Pilates, said, “I worked with Holly for several months, teaching her privately at her home once a week.”

To build and strengthen her core, she took postnatal mat-work classes. While talking to Hello, Robinson shared, “With Holly, we always made sure we had a bit of a giggle as well.” She practices poses such as:

• Inverted butterfly

Willoughby practices meditation

The Women’s Health article further revealed that she likes to start her day with some quality time. She makes a cup of tea, browses the news, and then comes the most important part of her morning routine: she said, “I light a candle, sit there and do my 20 minutes of meditation.”

Holly Willoughby uses saunas regularly

After long shoots and a busy schedule, it is quite natural to relax the body and mind. Willoughby regularly committed to her sauna routine. According to The Sun, she even installed a sauna in her south-west London home. 

Willoughby’s skincare routine

Her morning routine also includes her carefully cultivated skincare regimen. Speaking about her skincare, she once posted on her Instagram on May 9, 2023, “Morning!… I’ve perfected my wake-up/makeup routine over the years to refresh my face, body (and mind) ahead of going LIVE to the nation most mornings.”

Her skincare essentials include:

• Facial re-fueling mask
• Undereye corrector
• Sunscreen (SPF)

These are some of her essential morning routine habits that help Willoughby stay healthy and look toned at 45.
