DREADED cellulite can strike any woman -- regardless of how many birthdays she's celebrated or what the scales say when she steps on them. However, recently I've noticed that lumps and bumps are attacking thighs, hips, bums and arms -- as well as stomachs and calves -- at an ever-younger age. Cellulite is certainly stubborn, but with Week 3 of my four-week bikini body plan, together we can blast away pockets of lingering fat -- and this time it's for good! With Week 1 of my ultimate beach diet, we got to grips with my exclusive food plan and exercise programme. Yesterday, Week 2 showed you how to isolate those all-important leg muscles to achieve perfect pins by the poolside. We also discussed the fearful 'plateau effect' -- when weight-loss frustratingly grinds to a hault. Today, we wa...

AS OBESITY levels continue their inexorable rise, the standard weight-loss message from health officials is still focused on four simple words: eat less, move more.
But if you are one of the estimated 20 per cent of people who are on a permanent diet, or one of the 40 per cent of men and 30 per cent of women who regularly exercise and still can't seem to lose weight, it could be very tempting to start to wonder whether perhaps there's something else going on.

ON cold November nights, there is nothing worse than a lonely workout. Once the domain of the serious athlete, group fitness competitions have been redesigned for general use by everyone.
As the new events launch in London, people are signing up in droves. "The first element is competitive as you have a challenge to complete, secondly it clears your head, third it's a fun journey getting there and the fourth thing is the social aspect -- it's a bit like a dating centre!" says Gareth Cole, head of education at The Third Space gym which runs Grand Circuit classes where members must race each other to do 1,000 reps in 45 minutes.

Her private life has attracted plenty of attention of late, with her mother and sister becoming embroiled in a Twitter spat about how much they've been sidelined from her life. But at 36, Mel B reckons life is on track. She had daughter number three, Madison, eight months ago, with husband Stephen Belafonte. He's her 'best friend' who pulls her up any time she's feeling down - which isn't very often - this woman has about as many self-esteem issues as Simon Cowell. If you were hoping the toll of having had a baby was still showing (not to mention the stress of having a teenage daughter, 5am feeds and flying halfway around the world for interviews and X Factor Australia), you'll be disappointed. Mel's looking fantastic. But she did reveal how much work it takes...
