Ready to take on another day of coaching together?
Let’s go for Day 10 of the 2016 Challenge: Eat, Move, Change!
Have you had your large glass of warm lemon water to detox your body? This should now be part of your daily routine!
Start the day with fromage blanc topped with a few almonds, walnuts and hazelnuts, a kiwi, and the drink of your choice.
TODAY’S RECIPE
Today we’re sharing one of our favourite recipes: lemon chicken skewers with courgette tagliatelle and spiced quinoa!
Ingredients (serves 4):
4 chicken escalopes
A few sprigs of rosemary
2 courgettes
1 lime
Olive oil
200 g quinoa
Turmeric
Method:
Cut the chicken into pieces and marinate in the zest and juice of a lime, the rosemary sprigs, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt for at least 1 hour.
Rinse your quinoa in a fine sieve and place it in a saucepan with twice its volume of very lightly salted water. Add a teaspoon of turmeric.
Cook over medium heat, covered, for 12 minutes.
Use a vegetable peeler to slice the courgettes into tagliatelle strips (peeled or unpeeled).
Blanch the courgette tagliatelle for 2 minutes in a pan of boiling water.
Cook the chicken in a frying pan.
Serve with the quinoa and courgette tagliatelle.
You can thread the chicken and courgette onto rosemary sprigs to make skewers.
Today’s exercise: seated crunch!
1- Lie on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Place your fingertips behind your ears, elbows out to the sides.2- Engage your core and lift your upper body towards your knees — your shoulders should rise off the floor using your abdominal muscles.
3- Rise to a seated position with your arms extended in front of you. Keep your head facing straight ahead — your chin should not touch your chest. Do not pull your head forward.
4- Lower your body back to the starting position. Repeat the exercise for several sets.
Fitness challenge: complete 3 sets of 25 reps. You’ve got this 🙂
Today’s tip: the best sports for fighting cellulite
Exercise is essential if you want to tackle cellulite — it’s a key complement to massage.
To burn fat effectively, opt for an endurance sport that keeps you moving for an extended period and gets you sweating — think running or cycling.
The most effective activities against cellulite include aqua aerobics, swimming, aqua cycling and the stepper. As well as burning fat, these activities target the areas where cellulite tends to settle, and the movement of the water provides a natural massage that helps break down the fatty deposits responsible for cellulite.
For the most dedicated — and for everyone who has the CelluBlue cup CelluBlue, follow up your workout with a massage session to break down fatty deposits and maximise the benefits of exercise. What’s more, using our anti-cellulite cup after your workout also helps relax your muscles. Drink plenty of water (at least 2 large glasses) or green tea to help your body eliminate toxins and detox.
Remember: to effectively combat cellulite, you need to exercise regularly, and each session should last at least 20 minutes to deliver real results.
What is the CelluBlue cup?
It’s a 100% medical-grade silicone cup that lets you recreate the pinch-and-roll massage technique at home — quickly and easily. First results are visible in just 21 days, on all skin types and cellulite types.
If you have a CelluBlue cup, do a session this evening on the area of your choice (thighs, buttocks, stomach or arms).
A quick reminder on how to use your CelluBlue cup:
1. Apply oil to the area with cellulite.
2. Pinch the cup between your fingers to release the air.
3. Place the CelluBlue cup on the area with cellulite and release — your skin will be drawn up into the cup.
4. Begin the massage: use targeted upward strokes (for 3 minutes), side-to-side movements (for 1 minute), then circular motions (for 1 minute). Adjust the suction intensity by pinching the cup more or less firmly.
5. After your session, remember to drink water or green tea.
Please keep the following guidelines in mind before you begin:
• Always massage on skin that has been oiled beforehand.
• The pinch-and-roll technique should never be used on broken or wounded skin, as this could worsen injuries and interfere with healing.
• Drink at least 2 large glasses of water after each session to help drain toxins.
