With six weeks to go before a big do, it's enough time for real results but no time to waste. So get on board a power plates machine for accelerated results. (Not heard of or tried one yet? Where have you been?!)

Do simple exercises like squats, lunges and tricep-dips on the vibrating stand for an intense workout - it's thought a 25-minute power plate session is the equivalent to a one-hour at the gym. A studio like Powertone will offer personal attention, motivation and professional advice for getting lower and upper body into serious shape. It's fun, efficient and best of all, it's almost sweat-free!
