GET 15 FIT IN MINUTES

WHAT TO DO

TO BLITZ away love handles, try side bends using a medicine ball, says celebrity trainer Nadya Fairweathe­r (u-shape.co.uk). This is tricky to get right, so imagine you’re a piece of bread going into the toaster: keep your body straight as you bend sideways — don’t stick your bottom out or drop your arms in front. With soft knees, hold a weight or medicine ball above your head. With control, tilt sideways without letting your hips sway, to your furthest point, then return slowly to your centre. Try for 12-15 reps on each side.

WHAT TO EAT

IF YOU want to say goodbye to those love handles once and for all, a healthy diet is key, says nutritioni­st Shona Wilkinson (shonawilki­nson. com). Olive oil is a great place to start: this ‘good’ fat helps you feel fuller, so you will eat fewer calories. And try oranges — they are packed with soluble fibre which attracts water, creating a gel that slows digestion. Eat plenty of brown rice, too: this complex carbohydra­te helps to keep you satisfied throughout the day, so that you eat less overall.
