If you've been straying from your diet and having difficulties eliminating the extra weight, to help you achieve your objective, here is a programme of 4 exercises for losing fat and gaining muscle tone.

Repeat each of these 4 exercises for 30 seconds, at a steady pace. The recovery time between exercises is 30 seconds. The set lasts 4 minutes in total. To start, complete 3 sets with a rest period of 2 minutes between each set. Gradually increase this to 8 sets for a session time of about 45 minutes, which you can repeat 3 times a week.
