      Le Personal Coach - Valerie Orsoni

      Introduction

      Everyone—your doctor, your mother, the receptionist at your kids’ school, even Oprah—tells you to exercise. But no one is telling you how you’re supposed to work it into a day that’s crammed with work, carpools, and laundry from 6:00 A.M. until midnight. But I can—by showing you how to integrate exercise, movement, and good food into every corner of your life. In fact, by using the hundreds of tricks, tips, and tasty recipes in this book, you can effortlessly reshape, rebuild, and renew your body in no time at all. What’s more, you can achieve this without adding another minute to your busy day.

      How? From doing toilet squats in the restroom to discreetly working your thighs at a traffic light, this book takes a fresh look at what burns calories and helps build a fabulous body. It may sound complicated, but it’s really nothing more than child’s play. My program takes little or no time away from jobs and family.

      A key reason my program is so successful is my 25th hour concept. It’s what I originally created for my celebrity clients because they were always saying, I don’t have time to go to the gym. I’m always traveling. I have a crazy schedule. So I decided to create exercises that range from 1 to 15 minutes, like small routines that can be done anywhere—at work, in the car, on vacation—anytime.

      So now I contract my glutes while sitting in the office, contract my abs while on the subway, work on my triceps in the bathtub, and walk rather than drive to meetings and appointments whenever I can. And if each of us routinely worked these drills into our daily habits, we would seamlessly integrate an extra hour’s worth of exercise into our lives—just as though we had gained a 25th hour in the day. Then there would be no reason to feel guilty about not getting to the gym!

      If actress Angelina Jolie can rely on integrative exercises such as these to keep her in shape while on the go, why can’t you? It’s a great way to optimize every moment to work your muscles and keep them toned. Practical and simple, these are habits that you soon won’t be able to live without—and you will begin to notice visible results after just one month.

      A second reason my program is so successful is that it’s flexible: Like this piece of advice? Then follow it! Don’t like that one? No problem; opt for an alternative!

      In addition, I insist that my clients eat well. One of these days, I’m going to turn all my favorite recipes into a cookbook. But in the meantime, I’ve included Bon Appétit!—a selection of quick-and-easy recipes that help my body look good and stay fabulously healthy.

      No way will I give up good food! I am an epicurean of the highest level. I would sell my soul for a glass of sauternes. When I go to Paris, I enjoy the macaroons from Fauchon. (My favorite? The violet macaroons.) But before enjoying these famous little delights, I eat 5 almonds to send a strong signal of fat/protein intake to my brain and—voilà!—I store less fat than my neighbor who opts for grabbing sweet stuff on an empty stomach.

      Once you become aware of these easy but valuable tips, they will quickly become habit. Soon you can have the body you want, live your life without having to deprive yourself of good food, and most of all, enjoy some of life’s greatest pleasures.

      So no more excuses! Whether you’re at work, at home, in your car, on vacation, or on a plane, there is no reason you can’t reshape, rebuild, and renew your body.

      Happy reading!

      Les Secrets du Coach

      Ever wonder why French women such as Pirates of the Caribbean’s Astrid Berges-Frisbey or Chocolat’s Juliette Binoche have such sexy derrières, lifted breasts, and supple arms? Like all French women, they know Les Secrets du Coach—quick strategies you can work into everything from talking on the phone and attending your kids’ soccer games to emptying the dishwasher and eating almonds. Ready to hear what they are? Just turn the page!

      Catch the Brazilian curve!

      Want to have a nice bottom to fill that summer swimsuit? Stand up straight and bend your knees slightly. Keep your abs tight and your back straight (no arching) as you tilt your hips forward while contracting your glutes. Finish the move by pulling your hips back. Make sure you give an extra hard squeeze when you push your hips forward.

      QUICK TRICK!

      Do the Brazilian while brushing your teeth. Since you spend, on average, 6 minutes a day brushing your teeth, you have 6 extra minutes every day to work on your glutes. That’s 42 minutes per week worth of butt squeezes, the equivalent of a booty class at the gym without the sweat. How easy can an exercise get?

      Build killer thighs

      Bring a small ball to your workplace. When sitting, put it between your legs at knee level. Squeeze and hold the squeeze. Do this 50 times a day—gradually increasing to 100 times a day. Your inner thighs will firm up beautifully. If you’re sitting in a cubicle or in an open space where people can see you squeezing rapidly, then just hold the squeeze for 1 minute, or until it burns, and repeat throughout the day.

      LE PETIT SECRET

      Nutrition researchers have shown that eating an apple about 15 minutes before a meal will reduce your appetite.

      GRAB & GO!

      Reach for juicy apples to satisfy the need for a snack—and get a healthy dose of disease prevention at the same time. Apples contain quercetin, a flavonoid antioxidant that protects cells against wear and tear that can contribute to chronic conditions such as heart disease and cancer. Just make sure you buy organic apples so you don’t need to peel them.
