IMEDEEN for men – MAN-AGE-MENT UGO MONYE IS MAN-AGE-MENT\u2019S FIRST GROOMING WINGMAN @IMDEENMen \/ @UGOMONYE<\/p>\n
Leading grooming supplement brand IMEDEEN man-age-ment has joined forces with Harlequins rugby player Ugo Monye, who steps up as its Grooming Wingman. Ugo credits his firm, moisturised skin to the once-a-day tablets that support skin quality. Featuring IMEDEEN\u2019S patented Marine Complex \u2013 a unique protein formula \u2013 man-age-ment is a multi-tasking product, tailored to reduce visible signs of ageing in men.<\/p>\n
London born and bred Ugo, 31, is best known for playing wing for England and Harlequins. He attended Lord Wandsworth College, which also produced Jonny Wilkinson, before joining Harlequins U19s and England Sevens. Monye made his England debut in England’s 39\u201313 victory over the Pacific Islanders at Twickenham in 2008 and scored his first try for England against Scotland at Twickenham in the Six Nations on 21 March 2009.<\/p>\n
Ugo comments, \u201cHealth, fitness and looking good is at the top of my radar. I turned 30 last year and I don\u2019t want to start seeing the effects ageing has on my skin. IMEDEEN man-age-ment fits easily into my regime \u2013 the Marine Complex ensures I get an added boost of proteins, Vitamin C and Vitamin E in my diet\u201d<\/p>\n
Jo Tomlinson, IMEDEEN man-age-ment Brand Manager adds, \u201cIMEDEEN man-age-ment is about grooming and skincare from within. Ugo, with his commitment to health and a strong grooming regimen, is a perfect role model for us. He has trained with the best over his career and continues to look good and take care of himself. As he grows into his 30s, Ugo will begin to see changes in his skin so it\u2019s important he embraces easy skincare steps that will have a positive effect on his skin \u2013 one of them being IMEDEEN man-age-ment. It\u2019s a sophisticated, multi-tasking product that helps with specific grooming problems \u2013 perfect for the busy gent.\u201d<\/p>\n
SPOTLIGHT ON UGO\u2019S DAILY SUPPLEMENT, FUEL AND FITNESS REGIME:<\/strong><\/p>\n 7am \u2013 9.30am:<\/p>\n \u00b7 SUPPLEMENT: 2 x IMEDEEN man-age-ment tablets \u201cThey contain a Marine Complex so I\u2019m getting extra protein that is directly used by my skin. I take it in the mornings at breakfast along with Spirulina.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00b7 FUEL: Protein based breakfast \u2013 choice of omelette, smoked salmon and eggs, chicken breast \u201cI eat lots of protein and no carbs at breakfast \u2013 to keep as lean as possible. I usually have a latte (semi-skimmed milk) too.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00b7 FITNESS: Weight and Sprint sessions \u201cWe usually do upper and lower weight sessions, followed by sprint sessions. This typically involves stretching, ball skills, footwork drills and timed sprints over 10m and 30m on the track.\u201d<\/p>\n 11am – REFUEL:<\/p>\n \u00b7 SUPPLEMENT: Maximuscle Pro Max Protein Shake \u201cIt contains 33g of protein \u2013 no carbs.

This is followed by another training session where we concentrate on tactics, defence. It\u2019s high intensity and is where I develop the main bulk of my fitness. There\u2019s lots of running \u2013 about 6 kilometres over 60 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n 1pm:<\/p>\n \u00b7 FITNESS: Massage \/ Physio \u201cI don\u2019t have a massage every day, but if something isn\u2019t quite right I\u2019ll have a massage or some physio following the high intensity training.\u201d<\/p>\n 1.30pm – REFUEL:<\/p>\n \u00b7 FUEL: Lunch \u201cFor lunch, I usually go for a good all round balanced meal \u2013 so eating carbs, protein and vegetables. Typically it\u2019s something like steak, sweet potato and broccoli.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00b7 FITNESS: Rest<\/p>\n 4pm – REFUEL:<\/p>\n \u00b7 FUEL: Small snack \u201cI usually have a small snack around 4pm \u2013 some vegetables or salad with some protein. Sometimes I have a Nando\u2019s!\u201d<\/p>\n 7.30pm – REFUEL:<\/p>\n \u00b7 FUEL:<\/strong> Dinner \u201cIn the close-season I avoid carbs in the evening to keep as lean as possible. So my dinner typically consists of a big salad as the base and then I throw loads of protein on top. I love toppings like chicken, halloumi, strawberries, avocado and pear. During the season, I eat more carbs so would include sweet potato, rice or mash potato.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00b7 SUPPLEMENT:<\/strong> Protein \u201cI like to have another hit of protein before I go to bed. It helps ensure you don\u2019t wake up hungry.
