`Die Another Day` style regime aims to boost desktop fitness

A firm is training its 1,500 staff to be as fit as Halle Berry and Pierce Brosnan - without having to leave their desks.

Huntswood Outsourcing Solutions has hired personal trainer Simon Waterson - who helped Berry and Brosnan to shape up for "Die Another Day" - to devise a desk-based fitness programme for its 1,500 consultants.

Huntswood chief executive David Brownlow said the programme can easily be undertaken by "desk potatoes" and hopes the company`s clients will also be interested in giving the workout a go.

Despite Waterson`s best efforts, Halle Berry was still unable to keep up with Pierce Brosnan as they chased the Antonov plane during the climax of the film, although thanks to careful editting you might never know.
