Cellulite Reduction with Exercise

Today's topic is probably the least favorite for most people...
exercise. However, you owe it to yourself to give it a read because
the subject matter is really important to getting your cellulite
under control.

Beginning with the next edition we'll start to look at some ways
that aren't quite as hard as diet and exercise, OK?

Great, let's get started...

Cellulite Reduction - Do You Really Need To Exercise?

Something that works nearly every time to prevent the formation of
cellulite is exercise. Exercising allows you to reduce fat in your
body and lessen the chances of getting cellulite in the first
place. As you may recall, cellulite is primarily composed of fatty
deposits, hardened connective tissues, fluids and other waste
products in the body. While there is no definitive solution to
cellulite, exercise, a healthy diet and drinking lots of water can
help you prevent developing even more of it.

The Benefits of Exercise

Regular exercise is an effective way to burn excess body fat,
detoxify the skin, improve blood circulation and improve your
overall health. It's also proven to effectively reduce the dimpled
appearance caused by cellulite as well as prevent the condition
from becoming worse.

An ideal cellulite workout plan should include aerobic exercises
that help improve cardiovascular fitness such as brisk walking,
jogging, and swimming. In addition, using strength training
equipment that can help you build muscle in areas where cellulite
is a problem can work wonders as well. By building muscle you can
decrease the appearance of existing lumps and bumps significantly.

How Often Do I Need to Exercise?

If you have a lot of body fat to lose, you'll need to perform
workouts a bit more often than those with lower fat levels. A
combination of cardio and strength training activity is ideal. To
start, aim to lift weights or do resistance training a couple of
times each week and do cardio as much as you can - up to 5 or 6
days each week if possible. Treadmill walking, brisk outside
walking or bicycling for 30 to 45 minutes each session should serve
you well.

For those with less body fat to lose, cardio requirements will be
less but do not forego building up some lean muscle. It will make a
world of difference especially for getting rid of cellulite in the
hip and thigh areas.

Basic Workout Tips

- Before you get started, gather everything you need such as
workout clothes, dumbbells and anything else you need for working
out. Also get with your health professional to make sure you're
healthy enough to start exercising.

- Regardless of the routine you follow, always perform warm up
activities in preparation for the more difficult parts of your
exercise. You'll be less likely to injure yourself and your muscles
will be properly warmed up and perform better.

- Don't be afraid of lifting weights - you won't get big muscles.
Rather, you'll be able to create a lean and toned look that will
reduce the appearance of cellulite.

- To avoid muscle soreness, do some light stretching and cool down
activities when your main exercise is complete. This cool down
period also allows your heart rate to return to normal after cardio
sessions.

While exercise will help your cellulite reduction efforts a lot, by
combining it with the proper diet you'll increase your odds of
reducing cellulite significantly.

In the next several editions we'll examine other methods that can
be combined with diet and exercise to turbo-charge your cellulite
reduction efforts. See you then...
