‘HIIT is about pushing yourself as hard as you can for 30 seconds and then resting for 30 seconds,’ says Joe. ‘Do it first thing in the morning and you’ll feel more determined to eat well for the rest of the day.’

Follow your workout with a meal containing carbohydrates and Joe says you’ll be burning fat for hours afterwards.

‘my new book has all the exercises you need and there are loads of free videos on my Youtube channel, too (The Body Coach TV).’
