Gabby has joined up with Menopace, to champion the message of living life to the fullest during mid-life. Amid the growing trend amongst mid-life women to seek out new challenges during the menopause, she discussed her 'mid-life bucket list'.
READ MORE: Gabby Logan has revealed how the perimenopause left her 'short-tempered' and 'snappy' with her family - as she praised her husband for being 'tolerant' with her.
The mother-of-two, who shares 19-year-old twins Reuben and Lois with her husband, also explained how, when she looks back now, her 'short-temper' is what she's 'more embarrassed about'. 'I look back now and think,"Oh, I really shouldn't have shouted about that. I shouldn't have got upset about that. But it's easy to kind of, I think, at the time, to think that that's just the state you're in.'
She continued: 'I look back and my kids and my husband were actually probably really tolerant... my husband was probably thinking,"why is she getting so up about this?" This probably wasn't the kind of the person that he'd married.' This is something Gabby can relate to, as she explained: 'I remember being really educated about puberty at school, because it was part of our growth and development.
She explained: 'We're a very open family. So it was easy to have the conversations with them and to try and make them realise... Look, you know, just because somebody is this age, first of all, doesn't mean they're finished. 'They're not on the scrap heap but also, these changes take a few years, might take a bit longer, but then they come through that. So it's not like they're always going to be feeling that way.
She explained how she wanted to keep using 'that part of your brain that is perhaps a little bit likely to get rusty if you don't keep using it'. 'Because there's loads of things I still want to do in terms of challenges, like hikes and things like that, that I might not have time to do in the next few years, but I don't want to get to 60 and 70 when I've got the time to do them and not be able to do them.
From getting a tattoo to trying pole dancing, a new nationwide survey of 1,000 British women has revealed that middle-aged women are increasingly turning to thrill-seeking experiences to make the most of life.
