1. Start maintaining a balanced diet comprising of all the food groups.

2. Go easy on the sugar and fat intake.

3. Take regular meals, eat more in the day and cut back on food portions after 5pm.

4. Exercise more, exercise right.

5. Have a fitness regime of moderate to high intensity, exercising 4 times a week, for best results. Xtend Barre offers a full body work-out using cardiovascular and resistance training to help the body lose fats, tone and increase metabolic rates. And because Xtend Barre has its roots in a ballerina work-out that targets small muscles, so instead of bulking up, you will achieve the strong chiselled yet lithe body of a dancer. Say goodbye to jelly thighs, wobbly arms, flabby tummies and chubby derrieres!

6. Try to get 7-8 hours of sleep per night as the body needs a consistent sleep rhythm to regulate its metabolism.

Exercising regularly guarantees  better sleep which means your metabolic rate gets a boost.

7. Drink more water. It’ll help replenish the body and reduce retention that causes bloating.
