Tone up your body in one month

One month to go:
Every day you need to include a brisk 10-minute walk in your routine. Whether you tag it on to your journey to work or create time at the end of your day, this walk is a must. It will kick-start your fitness regime and you can burn over 100 calories (that's a glass of wine!) every time.

You also need to ensure that you climb a minimum of two flights of stairs per day. This is essential for improving the muscle tone of your thighs.

Three times a week, you should do 20 minutes of tough, pulse-raising activity. This can be jogging, power walking or cycling.
