You should consult your doctor before starting any fitness programme, or if you have any health concerns.

Use a stability ball for the exercises. Ensure this is a high quality, anti-burst ball and clear away any obstacles in the room which you could fall towards to ensure safety. Warm up properly before beginning these exercises by doing cardiovascular exercises eg: skipping or walking, jogging or cycling outdoors.

• For these exercises, work with the right amount of weights that will tire you between 20 and 25 repetitions (or until you’re tired) – this will create a large amount of heat in the muscle that will enable you to burn fat at source.
• Work with your lower abdominals tight and pulled in. Always breathe out when you are exerting yourself such as pushing a weight. Inhale as you return the weight to the starting position.
• Spend 2-3 seconds on the push or pull phase of the exercise, 4-6 seconds on the return phase.
• Rest between exercises
