Simone Thomas, the founder of Simone Thomas Wellness, spoke exclusively to Express.co.uk to explain.
She said: “Mike Tindall had an impressive career as a professional rugby player and while he retired in 2011, word has it that he still plays his beloved game today with a local team.
“I would imagine that to do this he still needs to keep up his fitness levels and will no doubt meet up with his teammates for training sessions as well as playing matches.
“I believe that Mike plays golf, often seen at charity events and on his Instagram feed he was recently seen talking about golfing and making this a sport for younger generations.

“I loved this, as it shows he is making a difference to young children in sport, and we need more of this!”
According to Simone, Mike publicises his healthy lifestyle online.
She continued: “He is also seen out on his bike as part of the challenge for Cure Parkinson’s and those hills would’ve taken quite some training to climb!
“This all suggests that he is into sports and fitness, so I can imagine that he packs a lot of activity into his days to maintain his fitness,” the expert noted.

Simone opined: “Given that they live on a vast estate in the Gloucestershire countryside, I am sure they are active and if you throw in early mornings with little ones, it’s bound to be pretty full on, as it is with all parents.
“They also have dogs so there will be a lot of walking going on, and horses, so I think he will certainly need to fuel up and look after himself, as will Zara.
“Back on social media there was a post of him with his children out enjoying an archery session as part of a Bear Grylls Adventure session, so looks like sport is being kept in the family.”
What diet does Mike follow – and does he need to watch his diet despite being a professional athlete?
Simone added: “His diet is [thought to be] different to his wife Zara. Word has it that he loves quick and simple homemade dishes which are perfect for family life, but it would seem that ready meals and pre-prepared dishes are an excellent way to fuel his workouts and rugby playing.
“However, I imagine these are of pretty good quality. It was great to see that he is all about balance which I think is what we are all looking for. His choice of scrambled eggs on toast with smashed avocado for breakfast is spot on as it offers the healthy fats that are needed to help cardiovascular strength.
“Mike also mentioned liking smoked salmon which is a good option with any meal because it gives you a serving of protein, but is also full of vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids.
“From what I have read he mixes meat and fish, sea bass with couscous, being a favourite, and this is an excellent way to eat, especially if he is very active.”
