You can barely fit inside the slinky dress you purchased from Topshop, You read fashion articles with the kind of resentment usually reserved for mortal enemies, and there’s a special circle in hell for that pair of tights that split in half because of your “cankles”.

These are the fashion problems we’re all facing, the fact that we’ll never look quite as good as Cara Delevingne or Kate Moss,  that we’ll never be stick-thin and toned enough to don the catwalks or promote our own perfume range.

And yet looking stylish can also be synonymous with looking healthy – and it doesn’t have to be an impossible mission.

Most of us however, don’t have time to sculpt their bodies and the truth is, staying fit doesn’t have to take up all your time if you’re an average workaday fitness fanatic.

If you want to stay reasonably healthy, all you really need is a quick 15 minute workout once a day, just enough time to build up a sweat but not quite enough to leave you gasping for breath.

Work on one part of your body from day to day, rotating it weekly. While this short period of time won’t turn you into Naomi Campbell, it will contribute to a healthy and natural diet.
