Noel Edmonds, 76, reveals the weird and wacky secrets to his surprisingly ripped physique - from 'tranquil power training' to an alkaline diet and using a 'cancer-tackling' yoga mat
Noel Edmonds has sent fans into a frenzy after showcasing his surprisingly ripped physique. The Deal Or No Deal presenter, 76, looked incredible as he showcased his muscular torso in a pair of blue patterned swimming trunks after being named Torso Of The Week by Heat magazine. And the TV star has revealed the key to his secret health regime which he calls 'Tranquil Power'. Taking to Instagram after receiving Torso Of The Week, Noel joked with followers: 'So many of you have asked how do I get the body of a 76 year old? 'Step 1: Turn 76. Step 2: Tranquil Power (see my Positivity Formula on Noel Edmonds Kiwi Adventure)' He then teased: 'If that fails bribe the lighting guy!' before falling into his outdoor pool. The TV star revealed the key to his secret health regime which he calls 'Tranquil Power' where you hold the weight and feel the muscle burn then let go (pictured on I'm A Celeb in 2018) Speaking to The Sun, Noel explained: 'The exercise I do, I call tranquil power. It's about quiet and slow. You hold it [the weight], you feel the muscle burn and then let go.' Later discussing his morning routine he added: 'I normally have a warm shower in the morning and wash it off with a cold shower. 'And then a sauna, infra red. It's proven science and very good for you.' Fans went wild for Noel's impressive physique as they exclaimed: 'Great physique, and fabulous hair. Could easily pass for 55'; 'Looking strong'; 'Looking really good, fit and healthy'; 'You've not aged in all these years, infact if anything your looking absolutely amazingly fit!!'; 'You do look incredible for your age just goes to show lifting weights does make a huge difference to your life'. Noel is also enjoying more of an outdoor lifestyle after he and his wife Liz quit the UK in 2018 to build a new life in New Zealand. The couple have now opened a hospitality business in the small rural, riverside town of Ngatimoti, which includes a vineyard, coffee cart, general store, restaurant and pub. Taking to Instagram after receiving Torso Of The Week, Noel joked with followers: 'So many of you have asked how do I get the body of a 76 year old? Fans went wild for Noel's impressive physique as they exclaimed: 'Great physique, and fabulous hair. Could easily pass for 55' And in his upcoming reality show Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure, set to launch on June 20, follows the couple as they start their life from scratch 11,500 miles away. In the past Noel has revealed he also practises meditation, exercising slowly in darkness while listening to electronic pulses for an hour a week. He also explained he lies on a £2,300 electro-magnetic mat for 15 minutes a day, which he claims helped cure his cancer. Back in 2016 Noel sparked controversy after he revealed that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and that he had 'tackled' it with his the very upmarket yoga mat. The star alleged that he had used the EMPpad, a machine which aims to stimulate 'cellular resonance' in the body, as part of a regime to cure himself from cancer that he said was caused by stress. Speaking about his experience in an interview on This Morning, Noel infuriated host Phillip Schofield, and the show's doctor, Dr Ranj Singh, who said that there is no evidence that a machine can harness the effects of positive energy. Other experts have also disputed his claims. Noel said: 'The point here is that when I found out I had prostate cancer, I went out there and started to ask as many questions as possible. 'I changed my diet, I exercised in a different way... I then had my tumour destroyed by sound waves, proving yet again energy is at the heart of this issue.' He continued: 'I was, I thought, very, very healthy. I know why I got my cancer: because I had gone through a very stressful, very negative period in my life.' Phillip asked: 'The stress in your life gave you prostate cancer?' He replied: 'Yes, because the definition of stress is negative energy. It didn't just decide to manifest itself, there was cause. 'You have cancer in you, we all have it. Something triggers it, I don't believe what you say or think triggers it, but outside forces trigger it... All I want to encourage is get the information.' Phillip gave a statement from the makers of the EMPpad, which said they did 'not agree with it (Mr Edmonds' statement) in any way, shape or form'. He replied: 'Fine, all I'm saying is, by using pulsed electromagnetism and a series of other things, I am now free of prostate cancer.' Noel added that after using the mat: 'I could see my hair was thicker, my nails were stronger, the exercise I was doing in the gym was easier and less painful.' In terms of diet, Noel is believed to avoid red meat and maintains an alkaline diet which aims to balance the pH of your body. Alkaline foods include fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, beans, and non-starchy vegetables, rather than more acidic foods like meat, cheese, eggs, grains, and processed foods. Noel has also struggled with his mental health in the past after he confessed he tried to kill himself in January 2005. The presenter was discovered in woodland on his estate in Devon after taking handfuls of prescription pills washed down by a bottle of vodka. The TV host even recorded heartbreaking goodbye messages for his four daughters and in an interview with ITV in 2017 he confessed: 'My world imploded. And I lost my home. I went to a very dark space. 'The only way I can describe it is it is the darkest space that the human mind ever occupies. 'I wrote a letter to my now ex-wife explaining as best I could why I'd reached the end, and I recorded little dictaphone messages to my daughters, basically saying goodbye.' He said: 'The fact that I did not become another suicide statistic is solely due to the swift response of a Devon ambulance crew and the compassionate support of the Priory in Bristol.' Noel also believes in cosmic ordering after he was given a book about it by his reflexologist. He said that four of six wishes he wrote down and offered to the cosmos then came true, including his wish to front another hit show – which was Deal Or No Deal. 'You'll think I've gone away with the fairies, but its fantastic!' he said. He wrote a book, Positively Happy: Cosmic Ways To Change Your Life, in 2006. He explained: 'To me cosmic order is all about being a positive person who takes charge of your own life. 'You have to make conscious decisions to go out and make things happen for you.

Why Troy Aikman doesn't mingle with his famous neighbors Meghan Markle and Prince Harry? The NFL star finally explains
NFL icon Troy Aikman explains why he keeps his distance from Meghan Markle and Prince Harry (Getty Images) NFL icon Troy Aikman may be enjoying the peace and quiet of Montecito, California, but he has no plans to bond with two of the neighborhood's most talked-about residents — Prince Harry and Meghan Markle . The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback, known for his down-to-earth nature, lives just a stone's throw away from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but proximity doesn't always translate to friendship. What's keeping Troy Aikman from befriending Meghan and Harry? In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Aikman made it clear that his social circle doesn't overlap with the royals. While promoting his EIGHT Elite Light Beer, the 58-year-old Hall of Famer jokingly said, 'I don't think they're drinking much light beer.' That light-hearted jab revealed more than just a taste in beverages — it hinted at a cultural disconnect between the NFL legend and his royal neighbors. Despite living in the same upscale enclave of Montecito, Aikman hasn't had any run-ins with the couple. 'I haven't run into them. But they are there, from what I can gather. I think anyone with a heartbeat knows that they're out there,' he said, before adding with a chuckle, 'But I'm not hanging with them, that's for sure.' Troy Aikman Jokes About Why He Hasn't Spent Time With Neighbors Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Montecito has long been known for its serenity and exclusivity, but that reputation has slightly shifted since Harry and Meghan made the move in 2020 following their royal exit. Since settling into their $14 million mansion with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, the Sussexes have drawn a mix of curiosity and criticism. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Вот что поза во сне говорит о вашем характере! Удивительные Новости Undo Some locals, as revealed in Vanity Fair, have expressed discomfort over increased traffic, tourist activity, and rising property prices, suggesting the couple's presence may have changed the dynamics of the neighborhood. However, it's not all icy receptions for the Duke and Duchess. They've reportedly built close ties with high-profile residents like Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King, and once shared a friendly bond with Ellen DeGeneres before she relocated to England. Aikman, meanwhile, is laser-focused on his broadcasting duties. As one-half of ESPN's 'Monday Night Football' duo alongside Joe Buck, he continues to bring expert analysis and seasoned commentary to fans across the country. Having transitioned from the football field to the broadcast booth in 2001, the three-time Super Bowl champion remains a fixture in American sports media. While Aikman may not be mingling with Montecito's royal residents, he seems content with his own path — one paved with beer, football, and zero royal entanglements. As he prepares for the upcoming NFL season, it's safe to say he's staying firmly in his lane — and far from the palace gates next door. Also Read: Did Travis Kelce really lose 25 pounds?

Beyond Yoga Puts Lululemon and Athleta on Notice With Bigger Store Format
Beyond Yoga is stepping out, cutting the ribbon on a bigger store concept in Greenwich, Conn., on Friday and preparing an assortment that really lives up to its name. It's Beyond Yoga's first brick-and-mortar store on the East Coast and a big moment for the brand, which Levi Strauss & Co. bought in 2021 and which is now being prepped for a growth spurt that would put it into direct competition with Lululemon and Athleta at scale. More from WWD Revenue Rises at Lululemon in Q1, CEO Calvin McDonald Bullish Despite Cautious U.S. Consumer Why TikTok Can't Stop Talking About Lululemon's 2-in-1 Dress and Its Styling Frenzy With Shoes: The $148 Debate, Explained Authentic Brands Group Is Buying Dockers for $311 Million Leading the way is Nancy Green, who oversaw Athleta as it grew from 39 to 175 stores and has been putting that experience to work since becoming Beyond Yoga's chief executive officer last year. Green has been using her own particular blend of art and science to set the brand up for its next step. The arrival in Greenwich, for instance, is no accident. The company knows from its e-commerce business that the greater New York area is its largest market and used that data to guide it to the wealthy enclave. 'There's a big intuitive piece to this too,' Green told WWD. 'There's the data on where the bulk of our customer fans are currently, and then there's intuition. Does that make sense? Does that feel right? Because you can go into a market and there's multiple places you could open. We're opening in Boston [this year] and we can see where that customer bubble is in the Boston area. And there's multiple choices where we could go. We're going to Seaport because we stand there, we watch, we see our customer walking the streets. 'The other piece that's important is, Does the space feel right? That's also intuitive,' she said. 'Maybe it's not the right location or you need to wait for the right location. We're not going to go in just because the data shows us that that's probably where we should be.' Both sides of Green's brain aligned on the Greenwich store, a 2,760-foot-space that also has room to hold events and tap into that 'wellness-forward lifestyle' customer the brand targets. 'It's gorgeous,' Green said. 'Light oak floors, very natural elements and a lot of wood, a lot of very organic shapes, curves. The main reason for the larger format is that the line is expanding quite a bit. We needed a larger space to showcase the breadth of the assortment and to really just show the best expression of the brand. We're also [planning to use] these new spaces as community hubs, whether it's fitness events that we do in the store, community events, whatever is right for that store. We create very strong local partnerships with various studios.' The store comes with a new logo and is at the vanguard of a bigger rollout — both in retail and in terms of Beyond Yoga's assortment, which all includes or ties back to its signature Spacedye fabric. While the 20-year-old business has long had workout-ready gear and dresses, the collection has been growing rapidly lately. Puffer jackets were added last year. In August, the assortment reaches out more with wide-leg bottoms, vegan leather, sweaters, cashmere wool blends, varsity-inspired prep looks, styles for the trail and more. Beyond Yoga is done tiptoeing and is going even further beyond yoga with more looks that work from the studio to work to the street to the airport and everywhere else. 'First and foremost, we are a lifestyle brand that serves an active woman and man's lifestyle,' Green said. 'So we think about what are the things that they do? What do they need? Well, it starts with the activities that they do.' With the Greenwich opening, Beyond Yoga has eight doors and is expanding to 14 by the end of the year. Earlier this year Green said the brand could have 'at least 200 stores' over time. 'This is our 2.0 in stores,' Green said of the Greenwich location. 'This is a new concept. We are going to test it and we are going to nail it. We have to iterate and tweak some things as we learn and then we nail it and then we scale it. So test, iterate, nail it and scale it.'

British blokes have forgotten how to dress for the sun – follow these tips for a more stylish summer look
BECK TO BASICS British blokes have forgotten how to dress for the sun – follow these tips for a more stylish summer look Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) REMEMBER when we used to laugh at German blokes on holiday? You could spot them a mile off, with their mullets, vests, questionable moustaches, beer bellies and skimpy swimwear. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 12 Follow David Beckham and his neutral bomber jacket, white T-shirt and pleated linen trousers Credit: The Mega Agency 12 Leave the short-shorts to Paul Mescal — because even he doesn't look good in them Credit: Getty 12 Michael B Jordan in an animal print shirt with cool tonal trousers and leather shoes Credit: Getty Well, now they are laughing at us because while they discovered style, we stole their look and made it worse by adding football shirts and Crocs. Germans now cut a dash with their stylish minimalism. The French embody effortless chic. The Italians and Spanish dress with cool Latin style. We, meanwhile, have become the poorly dressed man of Europe. British men have forgotten how to dress for the sun and stock our summer wardrobes with football shirts, muscle tees, bucket hats, skinny jeans, ¾-length trackies and oversized sunglasses. Our identity crisis is a national disgrace. On Spanish beaches our kids don't bury us in the sand because it's fun. They bury us because they're embarrassed by us, like cats burying their mess. Not so long ago, summer used to be a stress-free affair for men of my age — I'm 55. On beaches we disappeared into the background, unnoticeable behind expanding midriffs and cloaks of matted body hair. We sat behind windbreaks, vests on, knotted hankies on head, trousers rolled up, reading the Racing Post. I'm a men's fashion expert - these style mistakes are ruining your look and could even damage expensive items No one expected anything of us. Women fretted about swimwear while we were allowed to gracefully surrender into middle-age spread. We only had two beach role models, Peter Stringfellow with his thong, and David Hasselhoff, who spent half the 1980s sucking in his stomach and the other half driving a talking car. But today more is expected of us. Blame social media if you want. The world has moved on. Men are expected to care more about how they dress. But in the UK it seems we didn't get the memo and while Europeans got more stylish, British blokes spun off at a tangent, like a divergent timeline in Marvel's Loki series. But you can do better. Some men try to break the mould, but get led astray trying to emulate celebrity role models. 12 Timothée Chalamet in cargo-shorts-socks-and-sandals ensemble Credit: BackGrid 12 Ryan Gosling makes it look easy with plain shirts and chinos Credit: Getty 12 Brad Pitt in his garish tie-dye tracksuit while out in New York City Credit: Getty Timothée Chalamet can get away with his cargo-shorts-socks-and-sandals ensemble because he's Timothée Chalamet — but you are not. Leave the short-shorts to Paul Mescal — because even he doesn't look good in them. And despite what the fashion mags tell you, bold matching tops and trousers do not look good on men over 25. Just look at Brad Pitt in his garish tie-dye tracksuit while out in New York City earlier this month. If a Hollywood superstar can't pull it off, you definitely can't. There are celebrity outliers, however. Take some pointers from Ryan Gosling, who makes it look easy with plain shirts and chinos, or David Beckham and his neutral bomber jacket, white T-shirt, pleated linen trousers and white trainers, or slightly more daring, Michael B Jordan in an animal print shirt with cool tonal trousers and leather shoes. Now we are re-establishing better relations with our continental brethren, it's time to smarten up our act — and the good news is, it's not hard. How do I know? Because I did it. I too was once like you, a hopeless summer fashion victim. I wore cargo shorts, West Ham footie shirts pulled over my dad-bod beer belly, and athleisure sandals. My swimwear of choice was below the knee board shorts. 12 The Sun's Nick is all set for summer Credit: Supplied On one holiday to the South of France I flirted with budgie smugglers after a traumatic experience in a French open-air swimming pool where board shorts were banned. I didn't realise and was frog-marched from the pool by lifeguards who made me purchase tight trunks from a vending machine. Walking back into the pool in my tiny new Lycra swimwear was like the walk of shame in Game Of Thrones. Today a 5-inch inseam is as daring as I get (which is good style advice for any man). My fashion salvation happened after I met a younger, stylish woman, who is now my wife. Stephanie, 45, knocked me into shape and taught me how to dress. It didn't take a lot of effort and I even get compliments occasionally from my 23-year-old daughter and 18-year-old son. So, as you head off for your hols, take a few tips from me. Ditch the football shirts, no one in Mykonos cares about Burnley FC. Ditch anything with big logos on it. Wear leather sandals or espadrilles. Choose linen or seersucker short-sleeved shirts. You can't go wrong with a polo shirt and tailored shorts in neutral palettes. Replace your battered baseball cap with a Panama hat. Treat yourself to some understated sunglasses. Bodies should get some attention too. Before 2006, we could get away with a hairy dad bod, but then the film Casino Royale hit the big screen, and when Daniel Craig emerged from the sea like God chiselled from marble he ruined it for all of us. Now we're expected to look presentable in swimwear. So, get your back waxed, manscape your chest hair. Have a fake tan, but don't go mad. Ask for a light one. Get your eyebrows shaped and tinted. It's not unusual any more and makes a big difference, I promise. No one is going to think any less of you. Maybe swap a pint for a glass of rosé occasionally, or a mojito. Just a few small tweaks and the new stylish you will fit right in on beaches from the Costas to the Greek islands. Make the UK cool again, just don't mention Brexit.
