Myleene Klass explains her My Strength One routine - a workout to ‘lift your bum’
"Most women don’t have an hour to spare for the gym.
If Sally from Scarborough wants to lose weight but hasn’t worked out for years, start with my 15-minute workouts.”
Below, Myleene shows you some of her moves you can try at home.
V-Sit

START in a seated position, back straight, arms behind you, chest up, and abs engaged.
Lift feet off floor, crunch knees to chest. Hold for one second, straighten out legs in front, keeping them lifted off the floor. Hold for one second. Repeat.
DO each exercise on this page for 45 seconds then take a 15-second rest.
Do four to five rounds in total.Some moves give the option to use a weighted 3.5kg Hyperwear Sandbell. And remember, check with a doctor before trying these moves.

Eat like her, too
MYLEENE says: “Have a good start. For breakfast, me and the girls have porridge with different toppings – banana, berries, raisins. Lunch is lighter. I’m on the go so I’ll have something light like grilled chicken, and I love salads. Supper is meat and veg.
“I’ll never sit here and say I eat what I like, don’t work hard and that’s how I get my body. But I don’t want to go to the movies and sit there with an apple. I want a life, so I run a little longer the next day or do the 30-minute workout.
“You don’t need to overhaul what you eat. Slowly introduce things. Maybe replace a potato with a sweet potato to start.
“It’s about finding small alternatives rather than suddenly saying ‘I’m on a diet’ – because as soon as you say no to something, you are screwed.”
Crunch with sandbell
10
START off lying on your back, making sure your lower back is not arching off the floor.
Lift both legs in the air with knees bent at 90°.
Reach your arms back behind your head and pick up the sandbell.
Keeping your abs engaged, lift arms up and over your head towards your knees, lifting your shoulders off the floor, to an ab crunch.
Hold for one second then slowly return to start position, keeping hold of the sandbell. Repeat.
