Diana Moran introduced fitness to the UK in the 80s with BBC Breakfast TV. Now at 82 she reflects on her effect on women’s roles over the last 50 years:
- Lifting the lid on her own battle with cancer removing the taboo on the subject;
- Making health and wellness a woman’s choice;
- Learning broadcast technology despite her initial fears
- Acting as an inspiration to her engineer son;
- Being brought back by the BBC, in her 80s, to be a beacon of hope in the midst of the Covid outbreak;
- Having to learn the new technologies to film herself under isolation
- She believes that young women today have the world at their feet
- But warns that without health and wellbeing life will be shorter with less time to achieve their potential
