Reduce Cellulites Through Exercise

Posted by admin in General

             There are some exercises designed to reduce the visibility of cellulites. These are considered as short-term solutions to reduce cellulites. Of course, if combined with an active and healthy lifestyle, you will see a better result. Among these exercises are the squats and lunges. Here is a guide to do the exercises properly.

  1. Squats (Chair Sits)
  • Stand with feet hip distance apart with your toes, knees and hips in a straight line.
  • Pull your belly button towards your spine and contract your abdominal muscles.
  • Slowly lower your body, as though you are sitting in a chair.
  • If you can, go down until your butt is in line with your knees (knees at 90 degree angles). If you can’t go down that low, go as low as you can.
  • Take a moment and look down make sure your knees are behind your toes.
  • Keeping the weight in your heels, slowly push your body back to starting position.
  • At the top of the movement, do not lock your knees. Keep a slight bend in them.
  • Repeat the movement 10 to 15 times, performing 1 to 3 sets. For each repetion, count to 3 on the way up and on the way down to ensure you’re not going too fast.
  • Rest 30 to 60 seconds in between sets.
  • Stretch your quadriceps and hamstrings after each set or after your final set, spending at least 10 to 15 seconds on each stretch.

     2. “Around the clock” lunges

  • Imagine yourself standing at the center of a clock, and starting with the right leg, assume a lunge position by putting your right foot on “twelve”.
  • The knee should not go past the ankle whilst lunging, and the back should remain straight.
  • To get the full benefits of doing lunges, engaging the abdominals by holding them in and tightening them is a good idea as well
  • Continue this for every number on the clock.
  • A good way to start may be by doing two sets of three reps, but as always, the best thing to do is determine the right intensity and repetition sequence of these exercises for cellulite reduction for you.

          These exercises help in the reduction of cellulite by improving the skin’s condition and by increasing the blood circulation to the thighs and butt.

Avoiding Cellulite Formation

Posted by admin in General

Cellulite is the biggest nightmare to some of the women today. And once you had those dimples around your thighs and arms, it will be a struggle to get rid of them. So here is a list of the things to avoid in preventing the possible formation of cellulites:

 

  1. AVOID FATS. Eating meals that have high fat quantity makes it difficult for us to break down the stored fats in the body. Remember that cellulites are made of fats, and you don’t want fats to be stored on your body. Instead, try to eat foods as natural as possible. Drink lots of water to remove cellulite-reducing toxins.

 

  1. AVOID SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE. A sedentary lifestyle is a great way to sore fat. Of course, this is not recommended if you want to prevent cellulite from developing. Exercise is the word. Other than losing body fat, it also helps firm up the muscle tissue beneath the skin and improves circulation, which is necessary to avoid cellulite forming.

 

  1. AVOID INTOXICATION. Food, drinks and vices have toxins which can make the digestive process and the body’s ability to get rid of waste slower, which can result formation of cellulite. Examples are coffee, tea, and alcohol. Vices like cigarette smoking are is included in the list.
