Hey, sorry that this will be long:
10-MINUTE ABS
Exercise #1: The Scoop
Beginners: Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Press the small of your back into the floor so there's no space in between (maintain this throughout the exercise). Take a deep breath, feeling your ribcage rise at the same time. Exhale slowly while trying to "scoop" out your stomach - focus on pulling your bellybutton in towards your back bone. Hold for 5 seconds, then inhale again and try to pull your abs in an extra bit. Exhale and slowly release your tummy muscles. Do this move slowly 6 times. Rest for one minute, then do another 6.
Advanced: Do the same exercise, but do 2 sets of 10 repetitions, resting for one minute in between, as above.
Exercise #2: The Pelvic Tilt
Beginners: This move is the same as the scoop, but you tilt your pelvis up as you pull in your tummy. Focus on using your stomach muscles to perform this action. As you exhale, return your pelvis back to the floor and repeat.
Advanced: As you tilt your pelvis and pull in your tummy, bring your knees in towards your chest. Use your ab muscles to raise your legs - do not swing your legs up.
Exercise #3: Twisty Crunches
Beginners: Lie on your back with your knees bent, feet flat on the floor, and arms folded across your chest. Raise your shoulders off the floor as you twist your body to the right, then resume the starting position. Then raise your shoulders and twist your body to the left. Do 10 times on each side.
Advanced: Do 2 sets of 10 on each side.
10-MINUTE LEGS
Exercise #1: Squats
Beginners: Stand in front of something that can support your body weight, like a kitchen counter or sofa back. Hold onto it at waist height - you'll be gripping it for the whole exercise. With your feet about six inches from the support, squat back, sticking your butt out behind you as if you were going to sit down on a chair. Keep your weight on your heels (try tapping your toes to keep your weight back) and lower your butt down. Don't go too low - knees shouldn't go farther forward than toes. Push back up to your starting position. Repeat 15 to 20 times in total, resting halfway through if needed.
Advanced: Do the same exercise, but without holding onto any support. Focus on keeping proper form and balance throughout the exercise.
Exercise #2: Inner Thigh Squat and Drag
Beginners: Using a sofa back or kitchen counter for support, turn your body sideways, holding on with your left hand. Bring your heels together, with your toes turned outwards. Step out wide with your right foot, shifting your body into a wide squat. Feet should be wider than hips, and knees in line with ankles. Come back up into a tall standing position, by pulling up through your thighs and bum, and dragging your right foot back to its starting position. Do 15 times, then repeat on the left. Rest a minute, then repeat on both sides.
Advanced: Do the same exercise, but without holding onto any support.
Exercise #3: Hamstring Curls
Beginners: Kneel on the floor, legs as wide as hips, and come down onto your elbows. Keeping your left knee down, extend your right leg behind you so that your big toe rests on the floor. Bend your leg at the knee, bringing your heel in towards your bum and then extend. Be careful not to lean your body weight over to the left side. Do this move 10 to 15 times, then repeat on the left. Rest a minute, then repeat on both sides. Advanced: Bring the thigh of your working leg up to hip height. Try squeezing your butt muscles to help keep your leg up, and repeat.
10-MINUTE BUTT
Exercise #1: Standing Butt Blaster
Beginners: Stand up, using a chair back or kitchen counter for support. Bend your right knee slightly, lift your heel off the floor, point your toes and rest your big toe down (a bit behind you). Lift your right leg behind you by rotating it out from your hip and extending it back until your bum feels taut. Return to the start. Do 15 times, then repeat on the left. Rest a minute, then do another set of 15 on each side.
Advanced: For a more challenging position, take the supporting chair away.
Exercise #2: Kneeling Butt Lift
Beginners: Start in the same position as for Hamstring CUrls, kneeling on your knees and elbows. Keeping your right leg bent at 90 degrees, extend it back and up to hip height, so the sole of that foot faces the ceiling. Focus on squeezing your butt cheek as hard as you can at the top of the move. Return your knee to the floor. Repeat on the left. Do 15 to 20 times on each side.
Advanced: Do the same move as for Beginners, but instead of working from a bent-knee position, extend your leg fully and lift, keeping your foot flexed and leg straight.
Exercise #3: Lying Butt Lift
Beginners: Lie on the floor, placing a large rolled-up towel underneath your hips. Adjust the towel to make your back feel comfortable. Bend your right leg at a 90-degree angle from the knee. Push your heel up towards the ceiling, lifting your knee off the floor and squeezing your bum. Return your knee to the floor. Repeat on left. Do 15 to 20 times on each side.
Advanced: Get on your knees and elbows and then bend your right leg to a 90-degree angle at the knee. Push your heel up towards the ceiling, lifting your knee off the floor and squeezing your bum. Repeat on the left.
Hoped that helped,
Destiny

Loosing weight quickly is not healthy for anyone. But, when I want to slim down I usually eat plenty of protein like tuna and eggs and drink plenty of water. I'll exercise for an hour a day, two 30 minute sessions making sure to keep my heart rate up for more than 15 minutes. It will burn the fat and help make you more lean. Also, try making pilates part of your routine, even when you aren't dieting anymore. It works wonders for the mind, body and soul.

Reduce the stress. Your stress hormone cortisol might be activated by extremely low-calorie diets, intense training, lack of snooze and day-to-day worries, which brings about a spike in glucose levels with your blood. More worryingly, it can promote blocked arteries and fat develop around your internal organs, putting you in danger of diabetes and heart disease. Really the only prescription for this is to… pass the time.

try pilates! i've been doing windsor pilates for about a month now and saw a difference really quickly. pilates and yoga both stretch the muscles, causing you to look leaner and taller. make sure you're drinking lots of water as well, that's so important. hope all goes well!

Wear comfy shoes to help you to take meetings for a walk as opposed to sitting at a desk.

Eat in front of a person rather than a screen. It cuts down on mindless eating and making you more accountable for each nip.

Set up reminders on your personal machine or phone every hour to encourage you to ultimately get up, walk around, in addition to stretch.
