Fitness Tip: Do planks to brace your core muscles before every exercise to keep your back healthy, steady your balance and maintain a rigid body position.

Fitness Tip: Do 15 to 20 minutes of interval training. This can burn as many calories as an hour of traditional, steady-state cardio.

Fitness Tip: Get great glutes by targeting the muscles and connective tissues buried deep in your body. To hit them, do high-intensity squats, eg. jump squats.

Fitness Tip: Unless you’re training for a marathon, skip long-distance running – sprinting builds more muscle. Add some 10 to 60 second sprints to your run.

Fitness Tip: Go kayaking to get a taut stomach – it’s ideal because much of your rowing power comes from your core.
