Actress Kelly Brook, 35, has made a career out of her killer curves. ‘I do heavy weights a couple of times a week and I do Barry’s Bootcamp for cardio,’ says the ex-Strictly star. ‘Cardio and running is one of the hardest things to do,’ she says. ‘I also go hiking, I swim and do martial arts. I like to mix it up.’

Now it’s your turN Go to the gym for a weight-training equipment induction, then invest in some personal trainer sessions or take a Body Pump class – you’ll use light weights that burn 600 cals per session. Go to virginactive.co.uk or barrysbootcamp.com

After dropping two dress sizes to a size 10, Lorraine Kelly, 55, says it’s all thanks to Zumba three times a week in the church hall. ‘I’ve never felt better in myself,’ says the presenter. ‘Zumba is so much fun… Everyone gets hot and sweaty. In your head you’re Beyoncé, but it doesn’t matter what you look like. No one’s looking at you.’Now it’s your turN Burning up 500- 1,000 cals per hour session, Lorraine took four months to get in shape. Her classes cost just £5 but you could follow a dance-workout DVD at home, such as Zumba Fitness DVD Exercise Kit (£39.99, amazon.co.uk), including toning sticks.

A 250-mile charity quest in January got her in shape, but Denise Van Outen, 41, is not ready to put her bike away just yet. ‘Cycling to work gives me a challenge,’ says the mum-of-one. ‘Granted, it’s not as extreme as my previous exploits, but the morning rush I get is great.’

And it hasn’t been bad for her body, either. ‘When I had my daughter, I put on 2st, but rather than fad diets, cycling gives me the confdence to wear what I want.’

Good Morning Britain hosts Susanna Reid, 44, and Kate Garraway, 48, got themselves and the

nation in shape last month with

the show’s Tough Mums challenge. It involved

a gruelling obstacle course complete with drill sergeant,

and celebs Michelle Heaton, Kelly Hoppen and Sam Bailey joining

the ‘lucky’ selected viewers. Susanna showed her new-

found strength by lifting GMB host Ben Shephard in the air before the event, while Kate did tricep dips during ad breaks.

‘Tough Mums will push them to their limits, but it’s a great challenge,’ said Susanna.Now it’s your turN Although this year’s challenge is over, you can fnd out about the weekly workouts the viewers did at itv.com/goodmorning britain/tough-mums.

Mum-of-two Mel Sykes, 45, is super-toned thanks to High Intensity Interval Training. Also known as HIIT, the short bursts of intense exercise cut training time. ‘I’m never in the gym longer than an hour,’ says the TV presenter. ‘I’ve been blitzing 20 minutes in the gym with HIIT and don’t give myself a break at all. That’s as good as an hour pottering around.’ Now it’s your turN HIIT is great if you’re short of time, but check with your GP, as it’s not suitable if you

have high blood pressure. You’ll build muscle, boost endurance and burn calories in a 20-minute session, but you have to really push yourself. Try alternating 30 seconds of sprinting with 30 seconds of walking, or 30 seconds of push-ups with 10 seconds of rest. Most gyms have starter classes. Try lesmills.com or gymbox.com

Now it’s your turNBurning 800 cals per hour at a moderate speed, cycling will melt fat fast. Beginners don’t need a fancy bike, but you could ask if your workplace is enrolled in the tax-free initiative cyclescheme.co.uk for a discount on frames. Not been on two wheels for years? Start off at the gym. A lunchtime Spin class will burn around 500 cals. For more advice, go to britishcycling.org.uk

Back from maternity leave, Holly Willoughby, 34, is looking sensational on This Morning. The mum-of-three has been pounding the pavements, even though she admits to disliking exercise.

‘I’m useless at it,’ the presenter has said. ‘I don’t know how people fnd time to go to the gym six times a week. I ran for three days in a row and thought I had the bug – but I didn’t stay bitten.’ Well, it looks like Holly has the bug again.Now it’s your turN If, like Holly, you struggle to get motivated, download the free NHS Choices Couch To 5K app, which will help build up your stamina.
