My Body Challenge – Day 14

The Challenge

It’s Day 14 of the My Body Challenge. Two weeks already!
Still with us? Well done to all of you!
As every day from now on: don’t forget your large glass of water (ideally with lemon) and your anti-cellulite cold shower (explained on Day 4).
For breakfast, here’s our suggestion:
In a bowl, mix 3 tbsp of your homemade granola (see the Day 4 recipe) with 1 tsp of chia seeds.
Top with a banana cut into thin slices and sprinkle with desiccated coconut.
And for a drink, we suggest a carrot-beetroot juice:

Ingredients for 1 person:
1 carrot
1 apple
1 celery stalk
1/2 raw beetroot
the juice of half a lime
Preparation:
Wash, peel and chop all the vegetables.
Blend them with the lime juice and serve well chilled.
Today’s exercise: Leg raises

This exercise is an excellent way to work your abdominal muscles.
Your position:
– Lie on your back with your legs extended in front of you. (If you have back problems, fold a towel and place it under the curve of your lower back, just above your hips.) Keep your arms and hands flat on the floor.
– Straighten your legs and raise them, keeping your toes pointed towards the ceiling. Your thighs should be perpendicular to your body, while your shins are parallel.
– Then lower your legs back down to 1 cm from the floor without touching it, then raise them again.
Breathe steadily between each movement and engage your core — the movement of your legs should come solely from the strength of your abdominals.
The rhythm:
Try to complete 3 sets of 5 reps with 30 seconds of rest between each set.

The daily palper-rouler massage

To tackle cellulite, the palper-rouler 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 both venous and lymphatic circulation.
These actions help to combat cellulite and the orange-peel effect, as well as reducing 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 nonetheless be followed:
The massage should always be performed on an area that has been oiled beforehand.
The palper-rouler should not be performed on skin with open wounds, as this risks aggravating injuries and preventing proper healing.
The CelluBlue method:
Do you have a CelluBlue? Have you discovered our CelluBlue anti-cellulite cup ?
This little revolutionary tool makes the powerful palper-rouler massage technique incredibly easy to do at home to target cellulite. Results are visible in just 3 weeks.

If you have a CelluBlue, give yourself a 5-minute massage with it today — we’ll explain how to get the most out of it in the coming days
The manual method:
This method only requires energy (elbow grease!), a little more time since it is less effective than with the cup, and a bit of patience to get the right technique.
Watch the video below for the full method.
For today, massage each area for 10 minutes.
