The Challenge
As every morning when you wake up, drink your large glass of water (with or without lemon) to help detoxify your body, alongside a balanced breakfast.
For breakfast this morning, we suggest: 1 bowl of cereal (muesli mix or oat bran) + an apple + a glass of milk.
For dinner tonight, here is a radish and green vegetable salad:
Ingredients (serves 4):
1 bunch of pink radishes
1 courgette
1 cucumber
4 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon of sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
4 pinches of curry powder
100 g of rocket
Black pepper
Method:
Wash the vegetables, grate the raw courgette and dice the cucumber into small pieces. Slice the radishes into rounds. In a separate bowl, mix together the oil, vinegar, curry powder and soy sauce. Season with pepper.
Rinse the rocket. Arrange the salad and add the vegetables, then drizzle with the dressing you have prepared. Serve this salad with tuna or grilled chicken breast!
Today’s exercise – The most important of the challenge: THE PINCH-AND-ROLL MASSAGE
To tackle cellulite, the pinch-and-roll is the most effective massage technique there is. This technique involves kneading the skin to stimulate lipolysis, which helps to release fat from adipose cells while boosting circulation, both venous and lymphatic. These actions help to reduce the appearance of cellulite and orange-peel skin, as well as combat water retention. Ideal for eliminating toxins beneath the skin, this massage can be performed using a device, by a professional, or by hand.
The movement should always go from bottom to top to improve circulation. Although this technique can sometimes be uncomfortable, it is remarkably effective against all types of cellulite. A few basic principles should be followed:
The massage should always be performed on an area that has been oiled beforehand.
The pinch-and-roll should never be performed on broken or wounded skin, as this could worsen injuries and interfere with healing.
Today we present two methods, and these exercises will run throughout the ENTIRE weekend so you can really get to grips with this technique — arguably the most important of the entire Grand Challenge 2015.
The manual method:
This method requires nothing but energy, time, and patience to achieve the right precision.
Highly effective — watch the video below for the full technique.
For today, massage each area for 10 minutes.
