Now that Spring is most definitely here, it's time to get our arses in gear. Let's not beat around the bush; there's plenty a sit-up to be done so we can slip confidently into flesh-flashing summerwear. And seeing as all those crazy diets don't work, good old fashioned exercise is the key - which is why we're ditching our gym membership and signing up for a painful course of Bootcamp instead. |

Bootcamp is when you work your arse off in the fresh air with an instructor shouting at you to get your face in the mud and do fifty sit-ups then three circuits of the park. You sweat, you toil, you curse, you push yourself further then you thought you could... and then, weeks later, you marvel at how flat your tummy is (believe me, I did it last summer). British Military Fitness have been running bootcamps for years in London's parks, and now celebrity trainer Matt Roberts has launched his version so you've plenty of sessions to choose from. |

The hour sessions promise to get you super lean and toned and have fun in the outdoors too. It's a win-win situation, and as the bootcamps are unisex group action you get to meet eye-candy too (if a little sweaty candy). Sign up, you won't regret it. Well you might, but please don't blame us. Matt
