Brush
Banish wobbly thighs with regular body-brushing. It’s at the top of Davina Mc Call’s beauty routine. “Whenever I get cellulite, I do some manic skin-brushing and drink lots of water,” admits the BB host.
Using a brush with bristles and nodules can reduce cellulite and also speed up your circulation if you brush towards the heart. For best results, do this twice a day.
Get
Dancing
Shaking your body with your friends isn’t just a fun pastime - it can burn up to 800 calories per hour, and trim those pins! Mel B got in shape by taking part in Dancing With The Stars in the US. She explains, “If you want to know how to get really good legs, just do non-stop dancing in four-inch heels. Your legs are tensed up all the time and it gives you a killer shape.”
We can’t argue with that!
Skip to
the Beat
It tones legs and it’s cheap. It’s also very easy - Mylene Klass skips in front of the TV! Just 15 minutes of skipping can burn up to 200 calories. Begin with bursts of two to three minutes and then speed up as you get fitter, and try different variations such as fast skipping or hopping.
Truth or Myth?
It’s better to eat six small meals a day, rather than three larger meals.
It depends entirely on your lifestyle and food preferences. As long as your food choices for the day are healthy and not too high in calories, either eating style can work. There is some evidence that eating every few hours can speed up your metabolism.
DO Pilates
Jennifer Aniston has the body-balancing exercise Pilates to thank for her lean legs. Jen says, “I’m a Pilates person. It is great, I had a chronic back, a pinched nerve and a hip problem, and it has solved all of it. I love it. It makes me feel like I’m taller.”
An advanced workout can burn up to as many as 500 calories per hour.
