Are you up to our six-week summer body challenge?
I have designed a six-week Summer Body Challenge to whip you into shape just in time for your holiday.
It’s all about getting you looking and feeling your best, without having to go on a crash diet or beast yourself in the gym every single day.

So, what is the ‘Summer Body Challenge’?
It’s a fitness and nutrition programme that I have designed to help you lose weight, tone up and get leaner within six weeks.
What does it include?
For the next six weeks I’ll be providing you with:
* A workout to complete three times a week, in your own time.
* A new seven-day meal plan each week, with a shopping list and recipes for every meal.
* Some small tasks to help you stay on track.
Who is the challenge for?

It starts this week, with this workout. Stay with us for the next five weeks, and let me know the results!

Hide AdYour first task is to get rid of all of the foods in your fridge, freezer and cupboards that are making you gain weight and preventing you from losing body fat.
This includes all processed ready meals, refined sugars, fizzy drinks, snacks and booze.
Why? Over the next few days you are bound to experience a few cravings while your body adjusts.
If your cupboards are full of junk you're more likely to give in to those temptations. So, the best thing to do is remove the temptations before the cravings happen.
