Summer Challenge: Day 2

Hey girls! Thank you for joining us for this second day of the special Summer Challenge ☀

It’s time to keep building new habits — and the first one is to avoid snacking between meals at all costs, especially sugary little treats. If you’re really hungry before a meal, grab a piece of fruit or a handful of nuts.

On today’s agenda: a new menu, a thigh-focused workout routine 🏋️ and a DIY to learn how to make your own fermented cucumber treatment.

Let’s go!

⭐ Today’s session

Today, a short sequence to tone your thighs! Ready, 3, 2, 1… Let’s go!

LEG EXTENSION

To perform this first exercise, get down on all fours on the floor, forearms flat on the ground. Your knees should be positioned directly under your hips. Lift your right leg behind you, extending it toward the ceiling with your toes pointed. Slowly lower your knee, bringing it toward your chest, and as it nears the floor, raise your leg again.

Repeat the movement 20 times on one side, then 20 times on the other.

CROSS LUNGES

Stand up straight and place your feet shoulder-width apart, parallel to each other. Bend your knees and, leaning your body forward, touch your right foot with your left hand. Once you reach the bottom, push through your feet and jump into the air with your legs straight. Control the landing and come down gently without injuring yourself. Repeat the same movement, touching your left foot with your right hand.

Repeat 10 times on each side.

SQUATS

For this last exercise, return to the same starting position, then keeping your back as straight as possible, bend your knees until you reach a seated position: your glutes should push back, your back should lean slightly forward, and your knees should not go past your toes. To come back up, push through your legs and squeeze your glutes for optimal results!

Repeat 20 times.

💡 Today’s tip: Cucumber firming treatment

For this firming and anti-sagging treatment, you’ll enjoy the benefits of cucumber and honey! Simply mix half a grated cucumber with a teaspoon of honey (preferably dark-coloured). Apply the mixture to your skin, leave it on for 20 minutes and enjoy your little self-care moment. Rinse off with cool water. Your skin will feel toned, softer and firmer!

💪 OUR COACHING TIP: To complete your thigh care routine, you can try the cryo gel, which delivers an icy effect.
