THE PARTY WORKOUT

Who better to help you nail that dress than the man who keeps Jennifer Lawrence fighting fit?

In the never-ending cycle of parties and pastry scoffing that closes out the year, finding time to actually exercise can be… challenging. Thankfully, superstar trainer Dalton Wong, founder of Twenty Two Training and one of Hollywood’s most sought-after men, is here to help. He’s devised this fat-burning circuit that can be done in just 14 minutes. (Yep, quicker than you can get ready in the work toilets.) “Each move works a major muscle group,”he says.“It gives you an all-over body workout that will leave you toned and sculpted.” Do the full circuit twice through, three times a week. J-Law wouldn’t shirk at it – and neither should you.

STEP 1 Clock lunge

TARGETS Legs and bum 1 Begin with your legs together and then lunge forward with your right leg. 2 Return to start and then do a lateral lunge to the right with your right leg. Return to start. 3 Reverse lunge to the back with your right leg. 4 Keep going for one minute on your right leg, then repeat with your left.

STEP 2 The T-bird

TARGETS Back and arms 1 Begin with your knees bent slightly, your hips pushed back, and your back straight. 2 Let your arms hang down and turn your thumbs out. 3 Raise your arms in a T-shape, squeeze your shoulder blades together, keep your core engaged. 4 Perform the move for one minute at a pace of two seconds out, hold for one and then two seconds back. Add 3kg hand weights to up the ante.

STEP 3 Double trouble push-up

TARGETS Chest, triceps and arms 1 Perform a normal push-up, with your hands placed outside of your shoulders. 2 Once you’ve completed one push-up and you’re back in your starter position, move your hands closer together, with your arms touching your sides. 3 Lower down for a tricep push-up and then return to a wide push-up. 4 Repeat for one minute.

STEP 4 Twisted mountain climber

TARGETS Core and lower abs 1 Start in a high push-up position; head, hips and heels in a straight line. 2 Bring your left knee to below your right shoulder, and repeat with the other leg. 3 Continue swapping legs for one minute.

STEP 5 Single leg burpees

TARGETS Whole body 1 Start in a push-up position with your left leg lifted off the floor. 2 Jump in with your right foot, keeping your left leg raised. 3 Stand on one foot with your arms above your head. 4 Return to push-up position and jump your right foot back. 5 Repeat for one minute on each leg. Next stop: party.
