WHAT TO DO

Ever tried to sit down and stand up with only one leg? This is a great move for toning the bottom, says Nadya Fairweather, founder of u-shape.co.uk.

For the fiercely fit, lower yourself onto a chair and then stand up again, all while holding your leg out in front of you. Do this ten times, then repeat on the other leg. Aim for three to five sets.

For an intermediate level, stand up as normal, before sitting down while holding one foot off the floor.

Beginners, stand with your feet hip-width apart. Put your right foot forward, toes up, heel on the ground. Now see if you can stand up and sit down ten times. Switch to the left foot and repeat for three sets.

WHAT TO EAT

When exercising the thighs and bottom, our oestrogen levels can rocket to high levels. Therefore, it is important to eat foods that can counteract this, recommends nutritionist Eve Kalinik (evekalinik.com).

Begin by minimising junk, soy, milk and yoghurt. Instead opt for unsweetened almond, cashew or hazelnut versions.

Supplement this with plenty of broccoli, cauliflower, kale and cabbage — all of which aid the natural detoxification of oestrogen in the body.
