“If you want to make a difference in three weeks, you don’t have to go to the gym every day for two hours,” he says. “Just focus on moving as much as possible: running and walking where you can, burning calories that you wouldn’t otherwise. Even if you are only going up the stairs, squeeze your bum and tighten the core muscles in your abs and lower back.
“If you can get to a gym, go for the machines you least like - they are probably the ones that work you the hardest. Stair and rowing machines are good for toning. Try to do 30 minutes of hard cardio each time.”
