15-Day Fitness Challenge: Day 8

Hello #CelluBlueteam! Today is Day 8 of your Fitness Challenge!

We’re bringing you your second Yoga session! This time, you’ll be working on your muscles and balance to master these 3 poses!

EXERCISES

Move into each position gently — never force a pose that causes pain.

Try to hold each pose for 1 minute and repeat the circuit 3 times!

Pose 1: Tree Pose

Stand upright with your feet together and arms alongside your body.

Shift your weight onto your standing leg, then bend the other leg.

Bring the heel of the bent leg up and place it at the level of your other knee.

You can place it lower and use your hands to help.

Open your bent leg outward and fix your gaze on a point to hold your balance for 1 minute.

Pose 2: Half Moon Pose

This pose challenges your balance while toning your legs, core, and back.

Stand tall with your back straight.

Exhale and lift your left leg. Extend your right arm and right leg.

Rotate your torso to the left and raise your left hand toward the ceiling.

Your body weight rests on your right leg. Your right hand is there only to help with balance.

Hold this position for 1 minute, breathing deeply. Then lower your left leg on an exhale and return to the starting position.

Then repeat the pose on the left side for the same amount of time.

Pose 3: Half Bridge Pose

Excellent for the back, this pose strengthens the lumbar region and ribcage while stretching the abdominals. Breathe with your belly and keep your chin toward your chest throughout the pose (do not turn your head to the right or left).

Lie on your back. Bend your knees and position them hip-width apart.

Bring your heels as close to your glutes as possible.

Engage your core, squeeze your glutes and lift them toward the ceiling.

Once your hips, thighs, and knees are aligned, hold the position for one minute, breathing slowly.

TIPS

Tips to avoid bloating:Bloating can be uncomfortable, but there are a few simple tricks to help prevent it:

• Be mindful not to eat too quickly — chew your food thoroughly to avoid swallowing too much air while eating
• Avoid all carbonated drinks
• Avoid chewing gum, which causes you to swallow a lot of air
• Avoid drinking during meals
• If bloating persists, ask a doctor or pharmacist for advice

THE ANTI-CELLULITE TIP

The pinch-and-roll massage is a classic technique in anti-cellulite routines. It involves grasping a fold of skin between your fingers and rolling it, to care for areas where orange-peel skin is visible. This massage also brings a pleasant feeling of lightness. It can be done with a device, by a professional, or by hand.

The movement goes from bottom to top. This technique may feel a little tender the first few times; it then fits easily into a regular routine. A few basic principles should be followed:

The massage should always be performed on skin that has been oiled beforehand.
The pinch-and-roll technique should never be used on broken or wounded skin, as it may worsen injuries and interfere with healing.
