My Body Challenge – Day 16

The Challenge

It’s Day 16 of the My Body Challenge.
Happy Monday, everyone! Mondays are tough, but don’t give up — you’ve already passed the halfway mark!
As every day from now on: don’t forget your large glass of water (ideally with lemon) and your cold shower (explained on Day 4).
For breakfast today: a green tea + 30g of unsweetened muesli + a piece of fruit (your choice!) + a 0% fat yoghurt

For tonight, we’ve prepared a vegetable broth recipe for you
Ingredients (2 Servings):
– 1 clove of garlic
– 1 onion
– 1 stock cube
– 1 leek
– 1 turnip
– 1L of water
Recipe preparation:
Take garlic, an onion, chilli, spices, lemongrass, an organic stock cube and a leek
Method
Chop, mince and crush all your spices on one side.
Finely slice the leek and turnip.
Sauté your spices, garlic and onion with the stock cube in a splash of water in a saucepan for a few minutes.
Add between 0.5 and 1 litre of water depending on the number of servings, cover and bring to a boil for 10 to 15 minutes.
Off the heat, add the finely sliced vegetables and cover for 5 minutes — it’s ready!

strong>Today’s exercise: Inclined push-ups
We’ve already talked about push-ups, but today we’re going to make the exercise a little more challenging. Come on, a little courage 🙂
For inclined push-ups, don’t worry — you just need a chair.
Place your feet on a chair and your hands flat on the floor, always keeping your back straight. Your hands, spaced twice shoulder-width apart, should be firmly flat on the floor for better stability. Lower yourself while inhaling until your forehead touches the ground, then push back up while exhaling.
To make the exercise harder, you can bring your hands closer together to engage your arms more, especially the triceps.
Do 4 sets of 10, resting 1 minute between each set.

The daily pinch-and-roll massage

Among massage techniques, the pinch-and-roll is a great classic.
This technique involves kneading 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. As this technique can sometimes be uncomfortable, 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 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 tool makes the pinch-and-roll massage technique very easy to do at home.

Here is a video explaining how to massage with the CelluBlue:

The manual method:
This method only requires energy (elbow grease!), a little more time, as the manual technique takes longer, and a bit of patience to get the right precision.
Watch the video below for the full technique.
For today, massage each area for 10 minutes.
