I run 45 minutes on the treadmill and use the elliptical trainer or cycle for 15-20 minutes. Also, diet was the most important part. I didn’t want to starve myself, because the effects would show on my face. I wanted to look and feel young, and so enquired with trainers about what diet would suit me and followed their advice.”
