1) Any effective cellulite program includes cardiovascular exercise. Cardiovascular exercise can be done in small bouts through out the day and needs to be done at an intensity that keeps you at a level where you have enough breath to talk but not to sing. Tons of research show that regular cardiovascular exercise benefits your heart, lungs, bones and metabolism in addition to numerous other disease states.
2) Cellulite is fat. It is stubborn because it gets caught between bands of connective tissue. In order to reduce fat, you probably need to alter your diet. Needless to say, losing weight through a proper diet can only benefit your health. This definitely includes reducing your consumption of soda and replacing that with water or water with a small lemon wedge squeezed in.
3) There are a variety of treatments options that range from expensive (Velasmooth) to inexpensive (topical creams and lotions). Why is this good for you? Well, one reason is that you will see small changes from different treatment options. The other reason is that you will be affirming care for yourself. Most women are focused on everyone and everything around the and forget to take care of themselves. When you treat yourself, whether it's a massage, body wrap or cellulite treatment, you affirm that you care about yourself.
4) Another important exercise element for cellulite reduction is strength and conditioning movements. Specifically, some of these movements are in former and upcoming tips. The intent of doing these tips is to increase the muscle tone of your cellulite prone areas. Strength training is very important because it helps to prevent against bone loss (osteoporosis). It also helps to increase your metabolism and improve your coordination.
5) Your state of mind is very important in the "Cellulite Tip" program. It's important for you to feel good about yourself through each stage of your transformation. You may have a tiny bit of cellulite on your butt or lots of it, but you need to accept and feel good about yourself no matter how much cellulite you have.
6) The world is hectic and we all have many responsibilities. We say that we are going to exercise or eat right, but then everything seems to get in the way. The truth is that everyone I know is super busy, so getting on a program that benefits you requires a commitment to yourself. Know that you can keep your commitments to the most important person in you life: YOU!
7) The key element or "secret weapon" of the "Cellulite Tip" and "Conquer Your Cellulite" program is your ability to visualize and see your body as beautiful with a minimal amount of cellulite (please know you are beautiful even if you do have cellulite). Visualizing and the mind/body connection is your best friend in changing your body and your perception of it. Guided Visualization works with the power of your subconscious and there is one available in the "Conquer Your Cellulite" program. Keep in mind that when you use the power of visualizing, you must visualize YOUR body, not an actress or super model.
8) Here is the final reason that you should not quit or give up on reducing cellulite: You want and deserve to look and feel great!
1. Lunges with a barbell. Properly executed, this exercise is the king (or queen) of total body reshaping exercises.
2. Indoor Rock Climbing. No other exercise will work as many muscles (both large and small) at the same time than using a Computerized Indoor Rock Climbing Wall!
3. 100 Rep Squats – while standing straight, in the squat position, holding either a pair or dumbbells at your sides or a light barbell across your shoulders (behind your neck) – you slowly squat to parallel, without using any jerking motions. Then when standing back up, you refrain from locking out your legs at the top position. Repeating this sequence for as many times as you possible can, up to 100 reps. When you can perform 100 reps, you simply add more weight. If you need a break during the set of 100 reps – for health reasons – then take one – but before then, once you get back up continue where you left off until you’ve performed 100 reps. This type of volume training drives a massive amount of oxygenated blood throughout your entire body improving your endurance, melting body fat, cleaning out your lymphatic system, and boosting your metabolism.
100 Rep Squat Details:
Using a straight barbell or dumbbells, with very little weight and your feet flat on the floor spaced about 12 - 14 inches apart, bend into a full parallel squat position (as one of our friendly personal trainers to assist you the first time you try this one - and always use a smith machine or a squat rack for safety purposes).
Perform as many squats as you possibly can without stopping or altering your form. Then stop and rack the weight. Rest for 15 - 30 second (or until you catch your breath), then pick the weigh back up and continue until you need another short break.
Repeat this format until you've completed 100 repetitions. Your goal is to squat 100 repetitions in one set. Once you reach that goal, simply add 5 or 10 pound to the bar.
It's important that you start this exercise with guidance first (Use a personal if you have access to one, not just anyone who is working out in the gym that day) and start with a very light weight, preferably just the weight of the bar.
I promise, if you keep your form strict, and you perform this exercise as outlined here, you'll have one of the best lower body's on your block (including the tightest rear-end around).
4. Interval Training. Start out performing your favorite cardiovascular exercise like jogging on the treadmill. Warm up at a low pace for 5 minutes, then increase the speed and the inclination 50 - 100% for 2 - 5 minutes, then decrease the speed back down to your slower pace for 2 minutes. After that, continue to alternate from your slow pace for 2 minutes to your fast pace for 5 minutes until you've completed your full 30 - 45 minute training session. Remember to monitor your pulse the whole time. And if you feel faint or dizzy at any point, stop immediately.
