Looking after your figure without overcomplicating things is entirely possible! There’s no need to follow a drastic diet or spend hours sweating on the treadmill at the gym… Caring for your figure is actually much simpler than you might think! Here are the 4 steps to follow to pamper your body: rethink your diet, treat yourself to a massage, apply targeted treatments and take up strength training.
I rethink my diet
The first step in your “look after my figure” mission starts on your plate! You can work out as hard as you like and layer on eight different treatments every morning, but a balanced diet remains the foundation of good everyday habits. Simply put, it’s best to go easy on salt, saturated fats and refined sugar. Instead, make plenty of room for lean proteins (white meat, fish, tofu, eggs…), all kinds of vegetables, pulses, fruit and whole grains (quinoa, brown rice…). Ideally, these foods should make up at least 80% of a varied diet.
I massage my target areas
The second step in caring for your figure is massage. But not just any old massage! To really make the most of it, a massage needs to be sufficiently vigorous and properly carried out. If you don’t have the time, the inclination or the budget to visit a salon for a professional massage, why not try a vibrating massager? This electric massager delivers high-speed rotations and vibrations to the areas you want to target (tummy, love handles, thighs, arms…). It’s a pleasant ritual to add to your routine to look after both your figure and your skin.
I apply targeted slimming treatments
Slimming treatments are the 3rd step on your journey to caring for your figure. In addition to hydrating and pampering your skin, these treatments complement your efforts thanks to their blend of active ingredients. To go further, opt for “targeted” treatments — meaning those specifically designed for a particular area of the body (buttocks, stomach…). Indeed, targeted treatments contain active ingredients chosen for each body zone. Finally, to care for your skin morning and night, use both a day treatment and a night treatment!
I tone up to look after my figure
Last but not least, the final step in our figure routine is, of course, exercise! Yes, ladies, if you were hoping to skip this one, no such luck! But don’t worry: looking after your figure doesn’t mean living at the gym. The ideal approach is to choose a strength-training activity (a home workout using your own bodyweight, a gym session on the machines, free weights…) and aim for 4 sessions of 30 minutes a week. That way, you’ll find it easier to see your progress and keep your motivation going! Remember, to keep progressing, you’ll need to step outside your comfort zone. So if your sessions start to feel too easy, don’t hesitate to up the challenge with heavier dumbbells or a resistance band, for example. Strength training tones your muscles deeply and supports you in your routine day after day!
As you can see, ladies, these 4 steps are straightforward to put in place — and the secret is consistency!
Frequently asked questions
Is there a shortcut to looking after your figure?
There’s no shortcut: it’s better to focus on consistency rather than speed. Steer clear of drastic diets and extreme solutions, and go at your own pace by combining the different steps. If you have any doubts about your wellbeing or your diet, ask your GP or a medical professional for advice.
