The Challenge
It’s Day 19 of the “My Body Challenge”.
We hope you’re still with us 🙂
As every day from now on: don’t forget your large glass of water (ideally with lemon) and your cold anti-cellulite shower (explained on Day 4).
For breakfast today: A plain 0% yogurt with a few chia seeds, a little honey or jam + freshly squeezed fruit juice.
For lunch, we suggest the recipe for an endive, grapefruit and prawn salad
Ingredients (serves 6):
– 5 or 6 small, firm endives
– 1 or 2 pink grapefruit(s)
– 12 prawns
– 1 or 2 avocado(s)
For the dressing:
– a small teaspoon of mustard
– another of honey
– a few drops of Tabasco
– balsamic vinegar
– organic grape seed oil
Recipe preparation:
Peel the prawns.
Dice the avocados.
Peel the grapefruit(s) and remove the skin from each segment.
Slice the endives into rounds, keeping some half-leaves to arrange in the dish.
Arrange all the ingredients in a dish (or a salad bowl).
Tip: you can also add a few walnuts or raisins to your dish.
Today’s exercise: Squat & sumo squat
The perfect exercise to tone your thighs without adding bulk, while working your glutes!
We already covered the SQUAT exercise on Day 8, and today we suggest combining it with SUMO SQUATS.
The difference? For this move, your feet should be placed much wider than hip-width apart, back straight or slightly arched, and you perform a knee bend while lowering your hips further down. The sumo squat places greater emphasis on the inner thigh (adductor magnus).
Important: never round your lower back at the bottom of the movement.
2 sets of 15 reps SQUAT
2 sets of 15 reps SUMO SQUAT
Your turn!
Daily palpate-roll massage
To tackle cellulite, the palpate-roll is the most effective massage technique there is.
This technique involves kneading the skin to stimulate lipolysis, which helps release fat from adipose cells while boosting circulation — both venous and lymphatic.
These actions help 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 with 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 skin that has been oiled beforehand.
The palpate-roll should not be used on skin with open wounds, as this could worsen injuries and impair healing.
The CelluBlue method:
Do you have a CelluBlue? Have you discovered our CelluBlue anti-cellulite cup ?
This little game-changer makes the powerful palpate-roll massage technique incredibly easy to do at home to fight cellulite. Results are visible in just 3 weeks.

The manual method:
This method only requires energy (elbow grease!), a little more time since it is less effective than with the cup, and some patience to get the right precision.
Watch the video below for the full technique.
For today, massage each area for 10 minutes.
