They were recently axed from their longtime hosting slot on This Morning.
And Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford have revealed they are now planning to focus on their health and convert their garage into a weight training room.
The couple admitted that they are desperate to ‘strengthen’ their bones to fend off osteoporosis, which causes bones to become weak and sometimes break.

Eamonn, 61, also revealed that he has already lost a staggering three stone over the last five years and now weighs 15-stone.
Discussing their gruelling fitness plans, Ruth, 60, told The Mirror: ‘My vision is to get a weights bench in the garage and spend 30 mins every day on a joint routine.’
While her husband is keen to get into in better shape than ever, saying he finds the New Year a great time to ‘repair your habits’.
The presenter explained: ‘I genuinely believe in New Year’s resolutions. It’s a great time to take stock to repair your habits, to improve your life.’

He went on to admit that he dropped 10lbs in 2015 after making a weight loss resolution and becoming ‘hooked’ on juicing.
Eamonn explained that he still uses the dieting technique, saying: ‘Now, if I have lunch, I will have a juice for dinner.’
He also credits fasting for 12 hours a day for helping him shift a further stone, as well as doing pilates and walking his dog Maggie every day.
And the couple will have more time to focus on their fitness aspirations as Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary are replacing them as hosts on This Morning.
It has been claimed that the duo, who presented the Friday morning slot on the show for 14 years, have reportedly been told to keep quiet about their axing.

According to sources, the presenters have been advised to not address losing their slot on the ITV programme to avoid missing out on more work opportunities.
A source told The Sun: ‘Ruth and Eamonn are obviously upset and feel humiliated about being put out to pasture.
‘But they’ve been advised to keep schtum or risk losing more work. It could damage their brand if they lash out.’
MailOnline has previously contacted representatives for Eamonn, Ruth and ITV for comment.

The host marked their final Friday show last week, and have since expressed their gratitude towards fans for their ‘overwhelming’ support following their demotions.
The duo appeared on screen for their last show, during which Eamonn made a dig about bosses ‘getting rid’ of them during a chat about discounted trees, before the pair both grew emotional while saying goodbye.
But Eamonn and Ruth will continue to host the ITV show from Monday to Thursday during the schools’ six-week summer holiday.
Eamonn also took to social media last week to reveal the married couple are ‘going to get on with their lives’.

He said in an emotional clip: ‘Hi everyone, just want to say something to you all from the bottom of my heart and that is thank you.
‘Ruth and I have been overwhelmed yesterday and today by the amount of messages and we’ll be replying via social media, by emails, by texts, by Whatsapp, by whatever way we can.
‘But can I just generally say thank you, thank you, thank you,’ the presenter continued. ‘We do feel the love, really appreciate it but stop it, stop it now.
‘It’s Christmas time, Mistletoe and Wine. We’ve all got things to do so thank you, get on with your lives, we certainly intend to get on with ours and look, things are looking up.’
