Lunch on the beach in Antibes overlooking a beautiful protected little cove: a piece of bread with black olive tapenade (yum) + a grilled fillet of john dory on a bed of zucchini puree + 1 cup wild strawberries (with 3 teaspoons whipped cream swiped from my neighbour)

200 meters swim in the sea... I spot a few jelly-fish one of which brushes me without stinging and I tell myself that they aren't that dangerous...

After one hour walk on the telephone, I go for another swim with the idea of swimming for one km... but before getting in, I lay my eyes on Ed who was attacked by a jelly-fish (yes, the kind we get here actually go for you) it looks impressive and it is painful... I swim out a little less comfortable... and eek! my efforts are stunted after only 200 meters by a mini shoal (ok, only a dozen) of big purple jelly-fish... I have a film shoot on Monday and Tuesday and I'd rather not get there all swollen up.

So I go back to shore.

No snack

Dinner: bana cauda (Northern Italian dish of fresh vegetables and anchovy sauce, a personal treat) + 1/2 plate of porcini raviolis + a fruit salad

Dinner: a little salad Nicoise + 1 slice bread + 5 grilled sardines and little vegetables and, as I've bee good today, I treat myself to the pleasure of a desert: a portion apple tart with whipped cream

LeBootCamp is on TF1 in 10h00 Le Mag - Antibes is beautiful!

Superb dinner last night with a LeBootCamp veteran... she was very "good" ordering grilled salmon, I just indulged with mussels and potato chips (galore, so I had seconds, but let me reassure you, we are talking French portion sizes ie. small)

For those of you who wish to see the TF1 LeMag here is the link:http://videos.tf1.fr/10h-le-mag/ete-comment-avoir-des-fesses-de-reve-4448447.html

Shooting with Mica for TF1 and Paris-NIce by train

After great day of shooting with the beautiful Sandrine, we are heading for Nice... by train which allows plenty of time to watch landscapes unravel and time go by.

The documentary filmed with Sandrine, our witness, will show on TF1 on June 22nd at 10h am in 10h00 LeMag.

The topic is "how to get a dream bottom for the summer" :)

I love this kind of topic as it concerns a lot of people: women who wish to improve the tone of their august behind and men who can then whisper in honesty that their companion has a nice derriere ;)

I share with you a few pictures of the delicious Sandrine, of Mika, our cameraman and of course of your dedicated coach.

As soon as I have the URL for the TF1 video, I'll put it on the blog, and of course on the FaceBook fan page :)

Today I was woken up at 4am by some very noisy Italian neighbours, that guarantees me a nice sleep on the TGV iDZEN :)

Breakfast at the train station, it is virtually impossible to find any fruit or anything I like eating in the morning for that matter, so I fall back onto the famous "French breakfast" very poorly balanced but, heck, I'm hungry :)

So that is: a Lipton Yellow tea (or dust in a sachet - really revolting), a croissant, some buttered bread and, miracle, a fresh pineapple salad. Lots of sugar and saturated fats in this meal, I'll have to make up for it later.

30 minutes walk with some VERY heavy luggage, the SNCF (French national rail service) having, deemed it unnecessary to provide and kind of trolley in the Gare de Lyon, which is, I'll just mention in passing, rather filthy... pity for France's image.

Over 10 minutes accumulated butt contractions on the train + 10 minutes pelvic floor exercises

Lunch on board the TGV (the journey is quite long, that should prepare me for the Trans-Siberian crossing :) ... nothing other than "croques monsieurs" available... so: a "croque"and a fruit salad washed down with rooibos tea (fairtrade the tea, I admit being astonished to find that on the train)

300 metres swim

Snack: 1 tub tasty "Charlotte" strawberries + a few pieces home made dried pineapple I still had with me + 1 handful homemade teryaki almonds

3 hours walk along the beach

Dinner at Hi Beach where a "Sushi Master" exercises his art: 6 makis, 8 nigiri sushis of "normal" size as opposed to those found in the USA. No Desert but some green tea instead.

100 mixed abs on the hotel's carpet

1 minute plank

25 wall press-ups

25 triceps dips on the edge of the bathtub

Au lit!

Tuesday under the sun

Up at 4 am... 2 days in a row... I'm having delayed jet lag!

2 handfuls raw sprouted and dehydrated almonds (that I travel with in vacuum packed bags) and green tea... I read in the hope that my soporific choice of readings will send me back to sleep, but no...

After a liter of green tea and a few emails dealt with + 1 movie watched I head for the gym just to slip in 30 minutes of exercise bike (150BPM)

I am late for breakfast so I zoom off to my meeting at Fauchon where I seem to be establishing some kind of HQ by the looks of it... its a great meeting with an outstanding entrepreneur with whom we should be doing some great things.

During my meeting

I sip a teapot of Fauchon Blend sweetened with Stevia (which I carry with me around the globe)

15 minutes walk

Lunch: 1 handful home made teryaki almonds + 1 grilled burger + 1 tomato and rocket salad + 2 dried figs + 1 chocolate soya yogurt

A little nap to catch up on a short night

12 floors climbed on foot

A successful shoot for a cool partner site... followed by an interview for a magazine and a telephone coaching session with one of my tip-top clients

25 minutes passive muscle building

Dinner: 1 small handful home made teryaki almonds + a tub raspberries and another of cherries

30 minutes walk

Lunch at Fauchon - yummy what a treat!

15 minutes accumulated walk

6 floors climbed on foot

Lunch at Fauchon with I...

on the menu, I am being treated to the yummiest: goose foie gras on toasted brioche + a superb mixed salad with a lichee dressing... all accompanied by Fauchon tea of course... and I finish with a salty toffee eclair and a macaroon... my goodness, one shouldn't eat that way everyday :)

15 minutes accumulated walk

50 Hindu prayers

100 butt contractions

100 V contractions (coming soon in My Gym)

no snack but plenty of tea during two wonderful meetings...

In bed early to catch up on a very packed lovely day led at race pace (as usual)

Boot.Meeting!!!!

Up early to stretch before what promises to be an awesome day... that was without counting on Skype and the guys partying at home in California... in the end, after 45 minutes of jolly transatlantic banter I forgot all about yoga!

Breakfast: vanilla soya yogurt with raw granola + 2 apricots

50 Hindu prayers

Fatma picks me up with her husband and adorable baby :) and we scoot off to Val d'Europe to meet up with some very motivated BootCampers!

After a green tea (I savour that from Pascal Lamour, some great tea!)... we head for Daily Fitness where Litana, our MC, has organised a private class just for us

1 hour intense exercise... in heavy heat, the studio isn't air conditioned, all the better, that gives us a sauna/hammam at the same time (we won't forget to rehydrate:). Spirits are high... the class is fun and we discover some new exercises. Everyone keeps up rather well, Chloe and Sayu win the "buttock competition", well done! the prize: a LeBootCamp engraved Din Vahn bracelet :)

After a replenishing shower... we run off to Disney Studios where Litana has organised a treasure hunt like she does do well... but before hand let's feed ourselves... Mickey Mouse is running low on salad, the choices lessen considerably!

I go for a cheese burger without cheese nor bread...;) so only a wafer thin piece of meat is left + a tiny side salad (the only ones left) and a San Pelligrino... not enough to feed the coach!

We walk and walk... over the course of the day: 3 hours accumulated walk, 3x100 butt squeezes on the rides or on the train and plenty of pelvic floor training...

Snack... oh yes... snack time: a tiny fruit salad + the and Nutella stuffed brioche... yes we are allowed :)

During that time, the teams hurry up to win the treasure hunt... all are running in every direction and Armageddon win the sacred cow (our big prize)

Ii is time to part... some are traveling back to Paris, for others like Emilie, who made us the honor of coming all the way from Rouen, the journey back will only get them home around midnight... cheers to them!

Diner with Litana, green salad and buckwheat raclette cheese pancakes... I know, I know, that wasn't a model day of balanced eating, but that doesn't matter, those who do LeBootCamp know that what matters is non-deprivation and balance over several day.

To be done again! I've thoroughly enjoyed meeting the new faces and, of course, to see all the regulars as well :)

100% Mag M6 shoot and a great play :)

The sun is shining in Paris this morning (early up as usual)

Breakfast: raw cereal + soya vanilla yogurt + 4 apricots + vanilla black tea

M6 shoot for the 100% Mag program. We do an interesting piece on brunches, are they balanced meals or not, what to avoid, etc... a topic I am passionate about. I will let you know as soon as I know when it airs.

Lunch: organic smoked salmon + 4 apricots + 1 chocolate soya yogurt

Fabrice Blind who also wrote it is great in this play... I really recommend "Ma colocatataire est encore une garce" ("My flatmate is still a bitch")
30 minutes walk to get back... as my days are really long and full this helps me a lot towards getting some exercise :)

M6 Boutique - I am their wellbeing expert - 2 lovely programs

Its looking like a great day ahead... I am going to the M6 studios where I already know I will be pampered!

The night was short because of big projects that needed some attention (good thing I'd slipped a nap in yesterday)

Breakfast after my green tea: raw granola, vanilla soya yogurt, 1 tub strawberries

Once arrived in my dressing room, I sip Mariage Freres green tea offered by Christophe always out to spoil me.

Make-up, hair and, hop on stage for the 10 am live show

with Laurence... we present muscle toning equipment I like that work nearly without thinking such as Ab Rocket and Leg Magic for example.

I bump into the dear Serge Molitor again and chat with Pierre Dhostel looking on tanned and on great form making a few envious around the studio.

Superbly orchestrated lunch at Fauchon: cream of courgette and mint, grilled chicken, pasta with little veg, 2 slices cheese and 1 chocolate macaroon

Little nap in the dressing room before getting back in the spotlight at 2 pm for the afternoon show with Laurence Peraud, a lovely TV presenter

No snack but plenty of tea

Lots of Leg Magic whilst demonstrating (so much so that I am quite stiff the next day) + plenty Ab Rocket as well, so I can say that my thighs and abs got a good work out.

Dinner with...hush... a few almonds for pleasure and to regulate blood sugar levels, a veggie burger for me (grilled meat for the others), mixed green salad... 2 summer spring rolls (Parma ham rolled around some mascarpone + melon figs, divine!)... for dessert, a great fruit salad with fresh mint.

Up very early for a very exiting and eventful day and also because of jet lag... and I'm starving, so I have breakfast at 4h30 am: a small handful teriaky almonds, 1 handful cherries, 1 soya yogurt, 1 banana.

I try to go back to sleep but nothing can be done so I head for the gym at least I can start the day on a right foot.

1 liter vanilla Darjeeling tea to wake up "the beast"... I am very touched by all your messages of support for tonight... we believe in it... but in all honesty, even if I don't win the award, the simple fact to have been selected and got to be a finalist is already a nice dream come true!

Sleep won't return so I take advantage of my new Parisian's hotel's gym... after trying out little boutique hotels and the Parisian palaces with their rather snobby reception... I have found a gem, I am de-ligh-ted!

30 minutes cycling (50% @ 120 BPM, 50% @ 150BPM)

And off to the Trofemina Award night

ON the left foreground of the picture, Gonzague de Saint Bris admiring the ladies on his table :)

3 star dinner at the Bristol: Lobster tails and king prawns in a light sauce, stuffed courgette with rock red mullet (goatfish), light dessert with fruit ice cream. A typical LeBootCamp meal!

In bed very late because of such a long evening... lets get back on track for tomorrow, another very intense day!

Answers to Chris and Anon's questions

Green tea straight from Japan

30 minutes walk on an empty stomach on the telephone

Yes Anon, walking on an empty stomach allows the body to draw on its energy reserves as by definition the stomach is empty :) therefore, to find the energy to move, the body needs to reach for its energy stocks ... however, don't exercise too hard or the body goes in starvation mode and protects its reserves of energy, it produces an adverse effect to the one desired.

Breakfast: home made raw cereal + almond milk + 1 nice and ripe apricot

30 minutes walk on the telephone  

Lunch: heirloom tomato salad + zucchini, nut and onion raw crackers + teriaky almonds + 2 home made raw coconut macaroons + cherries and strawberries 

Chris, I make the macaroons twice a week as they are very successful, but I make the quite small :)

15 minutes walk 

3x2 ballerina movements 

Snack: Red berries + 2 raw coconut macaroons (homemade) 

1 hour passive muscle toning

Dinner: raw onion crackers + 1 heirloom tomato + 1 stray piece of cheese + 2 raw coconut macaroons + 1 handful cherries

I am frequently asked how I eat on business trips... well, I cart around my raw cereals and other home made teriaky almonds in vacuum packed bags (I invested in the vacuum pack machine)... that way, in any situation, I know that I can reach for a healthy light snack.
