GET FIT IN 15 MINUTES WHAT TO DO

-

TO BANISH back fat, try a ‘reverse fly’, says celebrity personal trainer Nadya Fairweathe­r ( u-shape.co.uk). This will work your upper back and shoulders.

Start with your right hand and right knee on a bench. Position your left foot on the floor and hold a weight in left hand. Keeping a long arm, lift your arm out like an aeroplane to shoulder height and lower back down. Make sure the weight isn’t too light. Go for 12-15 reps on each side. Keep alternatin­g and aim for three sets

in total.

what to eat

YOUR diet is also key for smoothing a bra - s t rap bulge, says nutritioni­st Shona Wilkinson ( shonawilki­nson.com).

Eat plenty of oats: they are packed with fibre, which helps to slow down digestion and reduce appetite. As this type of fibre is water soluble, it binds with, and helps prevent, the absorption of fats.

Apples contain a fibre called pectin, which combines with fat and therefore reduces how much you absorb. It’s a good idea to eat an apple around half an hour before a large meal, to help remove the fat from your body more quickly.

Green tea contains antioxidan­ts called catechins. These are known to help increase your metabolism, thereby helping you burn more calories. Go for a good-quality green tea which will contain a higher concentrat­ion of catechins.
