Hit the weights – You should be training with weights for 3-4 times a week. Employ compound exercises which utilize several muscle groups and try to stay away from machine exercises which tend to be easier. This will help with increasing the amount of calories burned.

Get plenty of sleep – People who sleep too little show elevated levels of stress hormones which can lead to increased cravings for sugar and slower metabolic rates. So get your zzzz’s if you want to get lean.

Don’t forget cardio – Don’t be lazy and aim to do cardio 3-5 times a week, either in combination with weight training or on separate days. If you are in good condition try to employ an interval routine once or twice a week where you combine high intensity sprinting/cycling for 15 seconds, followed by 45 seconds of rest. Do 6-10 such intervals and then, after a few mins rest, seconds, followed by 45 seconds of rest. Do 6-10 such intervals and then, after a few mins rest, do your normal 30-45mins of cardio at a steady pace. Don’t overdo intervals though as you will overtrain, so on other days just just do your regular cardio for 30-45 mins.

Limit alcohol intake – At 7 calories per gram alcohol, drinking alcohol will sabotage the best of plans. A pint of beer at 5% alcohol contains 200 calories and who has just one drink? Further, when you drink alcohol your body must metabolise the alcohol before it will utilise other energy sources such as fat for fuel, so if you are serious give up the booze.

Move aroundMove around – Don’t be lazy if you can avoid it. Use the stairs not the lift, walk to shops and work and generally take the harder option. All these little bits of activity add up over the course of a week.
