The Fitness TV, a 24-hour station, also hosts a high heel workout class for the women who refuse to get out of their beloved stilettos. Other workouts include those based on Salsa, Hip Hop and Disco.

"Just like a personal trainer, the channel allows viewers to tailor workouts to their own levels of fitness and interests and can be easily scheduled around busy lives,” the Sun quoted a spokesman for the TV shows as saying.

"Programmes range from children''s classes including a mobility and balance workout for pre-schoolers, kids'' yoga and street dance for teenagers, while pensioners and the less mobile are offered Chairobics.

"For the more adventurous, there are boot camp-style workouts and dance-based exercise sessions for Strictly Come Dancing fans, including Bhangra, Cheerleader and 70s Disco.

"There''s even a High Heels workout for more glamorous viewers," the spokesman added.

Fitness TV founder Luan Underwood, a former personal trainer and mum-of-two, said: "We are positioning the channel as an additional workout option, not as a replacement to gyms, fitness and wellbeing classes.

"We would like to capture the imagination of the 80 per cent of UK citizens that have never visited a gym and inspire them to do so.

"With Fitness TV, people can squeeze in a session at a time to suit them, and because the classes are constantly being updated, they'll be more motivated to stick to them than they would an exercise DVD," Underwood added.
