My Body Challenge – Day 25

The Challenge

It’s Day 25 of the My Body Challenge. Keep going! Stay motivated! 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 this morning, we suggest a homemade granola with 5 almonds and a few pieces of coconut. Enjoy your breakfast with a tea or herbal infusion of your choice. For lunch, here is today’s recipe: Light Ricotta Bricks! Ingredients (serves 6): – 6 brick pastry sheets – 250 g ricotta – 2 cans of crab flakes – fresh basil – salt, pepper Recipe preparation: Whisk the ricotta with a fork until smooth. Add the crab. Season, add the basil, and mix. Place 1 brick sheet in front of you. Spoon a generous amount of filling onto the lower edge of the sheet, leaving a small border. Fold this border over the filling, then roll up to the middle of the sheet. Halfway through, fold in the side edges over the rolled part. Continue rolling so the brick takes the shape of a spring roll or cigar. Bake in the oven at 180°C. Recipe: Detox Vegetable Juice To drink throughout the day 🙂 Ingredients for 1 person: 2 carrots 1 celery stalk about fifteen fresh spinach leaves a few sprigs of coriander Preparation: Rinse all the ingredients and cut them into large chunks. Juice everything in a centrifugal juicer and serve well chilled.” Today’s exercise: back plank! The position is simple: lie flat on the floor, back straight and arms alongside your body. Bend your knees while keeping your feet flat on the floor. Lift your hips and hold the position, without arching your back. Do 20 reps breathing through your mouth, then follow up with an ab series of your choice.

The daily 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 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 using a device, by a professional, or by hand. The movement should always go from bottom to top to improve circulation. Even if 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 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?
