Ben Fogle goes for a SHIRTLESS run in the snow before heading back out with a surfboard

He has climbed Mount Everest, competed in the Atlantic Rowing Race and even experienced frostbite in the south pole. 

And Ben Fogle lived up to his adventuring career as he headed out in the snow shirtless on Sunday. 

The presenter, 47, displayed his trim physique as he jogged around woodland before heading back out to play with a surfboard in hand and his beloved black Labrador.   

Ben looked a little chilly as he ran down the country road in nothing but a pair of navy shorts and black socks and trainers. 

He captioned the post: ‘No excuses. Do you want to run or do you NEED to run.

Exercise the brain and look after your well-being. In the absence of an ice cold lake I’m practicing an alternative method. Cold is all in the brain. Embrace the chill. Have a great day.’ 

One follower wrote in the comments: ‘You are a mad Man! Cold is one thing I can’t force my brain to ignore…..!’, while another added: ‘Yup…. mad as a box of frogs.’ 

It comes after Ben revealed he originally wanted to call his 11-year-old son ‘penguin’.

During an interview Lorraine, the broadcaster admitted he was drawn to the name due to his love for the animal, but was stopped in his tracks by his wife Marina.

The adventurer, who also shares daughter Iona, nine, with the businesswoman, said: ‘I thought he could be nicknamed Pen but my wife didn’t really agree. And I think my son is grateful in the end.’ 

Former Countryfile star Ben sat in front of his colour-coded bookshelf as he went on to share why he was left ‘horrified’ during a trip to the Falkland Islands.

The Crufts presenter said: ‘My firstborn Ludo, I really wanted to call him penguin. I love penguins.

‘The first time I went the the Falklands island, and they asked if I wanted a penguin with my cuppa and I was horrified. I thought they genuinely were going to give me some penguin.’
