Despite this, getting that honed bod you've always wanted is more than achievable if you follow several easy steps.

Here, we take you through some simple ways you can shed those pesky pounds you've put on for Christmas and reveal that six pack...

To lose weight in any form the simplest thing to do is create a caloric deficit, which means burning more calories than you consume.

Dietitian Helen Bond suggests: "A sensible weight loss is 1-2lb a week.

"To lose 1lb (0.5kg) of fat, you need to create a calorie deficit of 3,500 calories, and its easy to shift 1lb in a week simply by reducing your calorie intake by 500 calories a day."

Its easy to shift 1lb in a week simply by reducing your calorie intake

The free MyFitnessPal app is one of the best ways to record your calorie intake, but to track your calories burned, you'll need a dedicated fitness tracker.

If you already own a smartwatch, most will offer calorie tracking as standard, but for those yet to make the plunge, Garmin offers the best activity trackers on the market.

Intermittent fasting is one proven way you can shed body fat and reveal your abs.

Even Hugh Jackman used intermittent fasting to get lean for his role of Wolverine.

The most popular intermittent fasting plan is the 5:2 diet, where slimmerseat normally for five days of the week and severely restrict their calories for the other two.

On the fasting days, dieters are meant to eat 25 percent of their recommended calorie total - 500cals for women and 600cals for men.

However, for serious trainees, there's the 16:8 diet.

This diet allows you to eat for eight hours of the day, while fasting for the remaining 16 hours.

Doing squats does a lot more than just build you a Kim Kardashian-style booty.

They're the secret to strong abs as they give then that extra kick and improve core strength and definition.

This is because when performing a squat, your abs and core face constant tension - as this tension prevents you from falling over.

High-intensity training that significantly increases your heart rate is hugely effective when it comes to reducing belly fat - which can help make your abs more visible.

In fact, a recent study revealed that short spurts of intense exercise are better for weight loss and burns more fat than workouts that takes double the time

Researchers found that 23 minutes of high intensity interval training was more effective than 41 minutes of aconventional workout.

Tips to get into running

Olympic runner Jo Pavey, who is an ambassador forSimplyhealth, has shared her top tips for beginners wanting to get into running.

It led to 29 per cent more weight loss than traditional gym sessions.

Steven Ward, CEO of fitness industry body UK active, said: These figures show the positive impacts of interval training on reducing weight and, with Britain battling a grave obesity crisis, this research should be welcomed.

Typically, HIIT involves 30 seconds of intense effort, such as sprinting, cycling or doing burpees, followed by short recovery periods.

It may seem a bit contradictory, but one of thebest ways to lose water weight is to actually drink more water.

Thats because if youre constantly dehydrated, your body tends to retain more water in an attempt to prevent its water levels getting too low.

Water also boosts your metabolism, cleanses your body of waste and acts as an appetite suppressant, experts say.
