Midday host Elaine Crowley said she was excited to take on the tough task.
“I’m always up for a challenge to be quite honest,” she said.
“Realistically speaking I want to get fit and I want to get consistently fit.
“It’s very easy to go on health kicks now and again and you can do it for a couple of weeks but I want to get myself motivated.
“So hopefully this will give me the tools to do it consistently and long-term,” she added.
