SECRETS OF AN A-LIST BODY

How to get the enviable physiques of the stars. This week: TV presenter Holly willoughby’s waist

HOLLY WILLOUGHBY flaunted her recent weight loss in a waist-nipping skirt last week.

The 36-year-old’s new figure is partly the result of Pilates, which hones her midriff. The mother-of-three also packs walking and jogging into her regimen. ‘I’m quite active and I try not to let the way I look be the main focus,’ she has said.

WHAT TO TRY: The reclining knee twist helps trim the waist. Sit on the floor and lean back on your forearms, curling your tailbone under and bringing your knees up, so that your calf muscles are parallel to the floor.

Inhale and tilt your legs as far as possible to one side, maintaining your upper body position. Exhale and slowly draw your knees back to centre.

Repeat on the other side. Do two sets of ten (five each side), resting between each set.
