Before landing in Lisbon, Saira also advised her followers that if they were flying from Heathrow over the weekend to arrive early as queues were really long.

Saira was staying at the site with her family but made sure to fit in some time for exercise, slipping into a black and white patterned bikini. 

She expertly completed burpees and squats and lunges in a video shared to her Instagram page as well as jumping over a skipping rope.   

Along with the video, Saira wrote a positive caption to encourage her followers to keep fit and ‘reconnect with their passions’.

She said: ‘So many women when they hit 50+ say they feel invisible. My advice is to reconnect with your passions, do the things that bring you joy and put you in a good place.

‘If you feel invisible – you will act that way and you will be overlooked. But if you feel alive, strong and radiate energy with your presence you will be visible to everyone -including yourself.

‘Let go of the norm, stop trying to live your life to please others, take a little risk, f**k the negativity and rejoice in life – Your Life – everyday counts because you will never get it back.

‘Do it for you! Do what makes YOU come alive! Be inspired by your ability to do the incredible if you dare to give it ago.

‘I dared myself and I never looked back! I’m daring myself to go further than I ever imagined … I’ll keep you updated.’
