Health and Fitness Expert, Diana Moran is best known as The ‘Green Goddess' and more recently the British Jane Fonda. Diana was the first person to launch Breakfast Television in the UK and her successful career as a fitness guru has spanned four decades.

Unbelievably, 2009 will see Diana enjoying her 70th birthday – despite looking at least thirty years younger! She is a testimony to healthy living and has now been dubbed Britain’s Jane Fonda!

And for anyone who needs proof - this photograph was taken in February 2009!

Diana is known to generations today from her regular appearances on BBC Breakfast as well as being the fitness expert for FIVE's 'The Wright Stuff'. She is a prolific writer with eleven titles to her name - her last book was “Live Longer, Feel Younger” published by Hamlyn.

Diana was the 'fitness focus' of the 2009 Race For Life - see here here with her fitness techniques filmed in March 2009.

Diana's TV career has spanned as many decades and most recently includes The Oversea’s Property Channel’s Daily ‘Retire Abroad’ show with Peter Purves, a co-presenter for daily show ‘How to Buy Abroad’  and her BBC series filmed around the UK - ‘Castle in the Country’.

Diana works with leading supplements and vitamin's Company Solgar to continue to educate women of all ages on keeping healthy - but especially targets her message to 'Women Who Weren't Born Yesterday'. She says "Women like me have so much to do in the rest of our lives - we're not as young as we used to be, but we're not as old as some people think we should be! We know that staying healthy means we enjoy our lives so much more – and there are no quick fixes – we weren’t born yesterday!”

Diana is also heavily involved with charity, especially those concerned with cancer, cerebral palsy and older people.

Her extensive experience in radio, television and the stage spans over 45 years. Today she writes books and articles, presents on Radio and TV, and facilitates conferences and corporate events. She specialises in women’s issues, ageism, health, fitness and beauty.

Diana is a fully qualified teacher of exercise. In 1993 the Exercise Association of England presented her with their Special Achievement Award for her work in the fitness world over 25 years.

Born and bred in the West Country, Diana now lives in Surrey. She has two sons, three granddaughters and one grandson. Her hobbies include painting in oils, gardening, boating and ski-ing.
