In the evenings, are you more of a brush-your-teeth-and-straight-to-bed kind of person? Yet all it takes is a few minutes to look after your figure before you turn in for the night! No need to lace up your trainers or break a sweat: our quick evening routine comes down to 3 really simple steps: a herbal tea, targeted treatments and a few exercises you can do right there in bed.
Step 1 of my evening routine: I unwind with a herbal tea
Once dinner is done, take a moment to make yourself an infusion, a natural herbal tea. It’s a pleasant way to drink more, which matters every day, and to give yourself a moment of calm after a busy day.
Ingredients
- A pinch of cherry stems
- A pinch of blackcurrant leaves
- A pinch of birch leaves
- A pinch of meadowsweet
Preparation
Bring a large cup of water to the boil, then leave the leaves to steep for around ten minutes off the heat with a lid on. Strain, then sip slowly.
Step 2 of my evening routine: I take care of my skin
Once you’ve finished your herbal tea, take a few minutes to pamper your skin with targeted treatments. Carefully chosen night creams fit into your routine and help you care for the areas where little bulges and cellulite tend to settle. While you sleep, you have plenty of time to enjoy your treatments, which makes bedtime an ideal moment to apply your anti-cellulite skincare. And let’s be honest, looking after yourself while doing nothing at all is rather nice, isn’t it?
To make the most of your night-time treatments, choose products suited to the area you want to focus on. For the stomach and hips, we recommend the Belly Slimming Night Cream. It is formulated with AnanasProSlim-complex™ and designed specifically for that area. If you’d rather focus on your thighs and bum, where orange-peel skin often settles, go for the Thighs Night Slimming Cream instead. And of course, if you’d like to pamper all of these areas, you can use both treatments at the same time: they’ll quickly become staples of your evening routine!
Step 3 of my evening routine: I work out… in bed
Don’t worry, ladies, we’re not talking about a full-on workout where you’ll be sweating it out and pushing your limits! But to round off your routine, you can get into the habit of doing a mini toning session right there in your bed.
The bridge
Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the mattress.
Keep your arms alongside your body. Then lift your hips as high as you can.
Hold for two seconds, then slowly lower back down without fully resting your hips.
Repeat this movement 30 times, squeezing your glutes and abs throughout.
Lateral leg raises
For this exercise, lie on your right side with your knee bent. Rest your head on your right hand and place your left hand on your left hip.
With your left leg straight, raise it towards the ceiling, hold for a few seconds, then lower it slowly. Without resting your leg, repeat the raises. Continue for 30 seconds, then repeat on the other side.
The bicycle
Lying on your back, bend your knees, bend your elbows and place your hands behind your head. Then raise your legs in the air one at a time. Bring your left elbow to your right knee, then your right elbow to your left knee. Alternate the movement until you’ve completed 25 reps on each side.
The plank
Finally, we wrap up our evening routine with one of the best-known exercises out there: the plank. Lie face down and rest on your forearms or hands and the tips of your toes. Then lift your whole body to form a straight line. Hold for 1 minute, and you’re done!
So, ladies, are you ready to make this quick evening routine your own?
