Day 1: Monday

Bathtime!
Okay, we're gonna start you out easy. Your assignment today is to take a relaxing bath. This is a habit you should get into 'cause once you start your regular exercise routine (that's coming later), you'll want to soothe those sore muscles! For her part, Jessica Alba believes baths are a must. "I take a bath almost every day," Jessica tells Marie Claire. "Because I work out so hard, I usually put in a gallon of Epsom salts. I [also] like to light my Joya vanilla candles that smell like cupcakes."

P.S. -- Don't forget to exfoliate with a scrub like Me! Bath's yummy Shower Sherbert ($28, mebath.com). Because if you're going to use that self-tanner tomorrow, it's best that you exfoliate the night before instead of the day of.
