Jenny Powell showed off her impressive flexibility in a khaki green gym outfit in an Instagram video she shared on Sunday.
The TV presenter, 56, who underwent a robotic hysterectomy earlier this year, stunned in a strappy top as she showed off a series of yoga poses.
In her latest workout video, Jenny looked stronger than ever as she showed off her incredible physique.
She wrote: ‘It’s been a long time, but finally, 10 weeks post surgery and I’m feeling the benefits of returning to yoga practice! Small steps, but it feels so good in the mind and body, slowly you feel more and more connected..
‘It’s a place of isolation when you’ve had major surgery, you kind of cut yourself off from people and things going on around you (guess it’s a way of surviving), good days, bad days, but getting there, that’s for sure.’
Jenny, who is engaged to fiancé Martin Lowe, has two children, daughters Constance, 22, and Pollyanna, 14, from her previous relationship with British businessman Toby Baxendale.

Jenny underwent a hysterectomy to alleviate severe menopausal symptoms about which she was incredibly open.
Reflecting on her recovery and sharing pictures of her healing scars last month, she warned other women to ‘take the healing process seriously’.
She wrote: ‘What a month after four weeks since my robotic hysterectomy and healing well. I am really overwhelmed by the response to my posts and updates.
‘I’m planning the event and building the community here, but I’m also keeping in touch with as many of you as I can. Let me just say, healing and slowing down is hard work in itself.
‘It was very difficult for me to ignore the daily tasks at work, at home and in the game. So take the healing process seriously or it will bite you in the ass later.
‘Make sure you have a plan and get the right post op advice about your hormones / HRT / self care and accept help when you get it… (thanks mum, my girls and everyone at work!) so hystersisters, more to come as we are on the road to recovery… we have this!!’
She shared snaps of her scars every week for four weeks and also posted a series of lovely messages from other women who had gone through the same thing.

Called Hominis, this surgical system is controlled by a human controller who maneuvers the robotic arms while watching the procedure unfold on a screen in real time
Although the devices cost just under £2 million each, they cut the time it takes to carry out a delicate operation and because they also work with superb precision, it means patients recover faster.
Called Hominis, this surgical system is operated by a human controller who maneuvers the robotic arms while watching the procedure unfold on a screen in real time.
The robot has shoulder, elbow and wrist joints to allow for human-level dexterity and 360-degree articulation.
An additional arm guides the laparoscopic video camera through a small, separate incision to help visualize the internal procedure.
Hominis enters through the vagina to perform a hysterectomy, then wraps his arms around the uterus to perform the operation.
Last month, Jenny used the two-week milestone after her procedure to break the news, telling her followers: ‘It’s two weeks to the day I had my hysterectomy.
‘Thousands of people have been messaging me and I just want to make one thing clear – I had a robotic hysterectomy so I had a surgeon controlling robotic arms to do the whole operation.
“So it was less invasive, but the recovery time is also a little faster.”

Many women who have had the same surgery have contacted her in her direct messages on Instagram
Issuing a warning to others in recovery, she then added: ‘Recovery wise I’ve been doing a few things here and there and yesterday I was totally down because I was doing too much – so don’t overdo it – it’s not worth it.’
Continuing her video as she showed off her scars: ‘The scars look good but there’s a lot of healing going on inside and it’s such a baby step thing.’
She also shared a picture of her belly and captioned it: ‘2 weeks post op: No need for pain meds (just itching to heal). I can finally lie on my side to sleep.
‘Stick to a diet rich in fiber. Re-adjustment of HRT with your consultant. Going outdoors/walking/rehabilitation. Play healing frequency 285 on Spotify AND REST.’
Shortly after undergoing the operation in early October, Jenny explained: ‘I’ve been suffering for so long with all sorts of symptoms and I’ve tried everything, but yes, it’s time, hence the hysterectomy.
‘Being menopausal of course things are different, it’s not like this was triggered early.
“But I’m just wondering if they’ll have anything to do with my emotions. So it will be interesting. I’m just getting ready to put on my fancy dress so come back later.’
Jenny previously revealed she was forced into hospital after severe menopausal symptoms left her struggling ‘to get out of bed every day.’
She was seen only a few days after the operation

The presenter said she was forced to have an iron infusion after suffering from anemia due to massive blood loss.
She told Closer magazine: ‘Menopause took a toll on me mentally and I didn’t feel like myself. My periods were horrible, I had to change my clothes five times a day and I lost so much blood that I became anemic. I was really tired and depressed.
‘I struggled to get out of bed and couldn’t wait to get back into bed at night.’
Jenny spoke candidly about her experience with perimenopause – the period before her period stops – and said she didn’t deal with the symptoms straight away and that her condition worsened because she was away for so long.
It meant she ended up needing treatment in hospital, adding: ‘I left it too long to resolve so I ended up having to get an iron infusion in hospital.’
