Exercise to Get Rid of Cellulite

Smart women know that exercise is one of the best ways toget rid of cellulite for good. For some reason, most people seem to recommend running and cardio to lose cellulite. Others say biking and stair stepping are better. Who do you believe? All women want to get rid of cellulite, and generally want to do it with the least effort possible. It sounds lazy when you put it in writing, but it's true. Who wants to spend hours on a treadmill, day after day? That's why we're going to discuss a more efficient and easier way to lose cellulite quickly and permanently.

If you're looking for a single best exercise to get rid of cellulite, you'll find there is no single answer. Different women suffer from cellulite in different parts of the body. Some people get it on the stomach, but the majority of women have it on their hips, thighs, and butt. That's why you normally target lower body work when trying to get rid of cellulite.

The first thing you should know is that cellulite is just fat. It's not made of "toxins", circulation problems, excess water storage, or anything else.  It's been medically proven that it's exactly the same as any other fat in your body. The dimpled appearance happens when excess fat bulges through the connective tissue under the skin.  Fat is soft, and so it can bulge out like stuffing from a mattress.  This is amplified by the fact that the skin on the thighs and butt is thinner than on other parts of the body.

As a long time personal trainer, I can assure you that resistance training is the most efficient way to get rid of cellulite. You can't beat running and biking for exercising the heart and lungs, but for cellulite reduction and general weight loss, resistance training is king. It's hard for many women to grasp this simple concept.  If you have cellulite on your butt, you should be targetting gluteal exercises. If you have cellulite on your thighs, you're better off with hamstring exercises.  By targeting specific muscle groups, you're tightening and toning specific problem areas without wasted energy.

If I had to pick one single best exercise to get rid of cellulite, it would have to be the squat. Squatting is a compound exercise that works all the large muscles in the lower body, including the gluteals and hamstrings. However, a complete, highly targeted routine will give much better results than a single movement.  As you would guess, there are also other factors that contribute to cellulite and shoudl be dealt with along with your resistance training program.

The good news is that you can lose cellulite fairly easily using a highly targeted cellulite training program combined with some very specific dietary replacements. This combination helps regulate problem hormones and puts your body in a cellulite fighting state, while also tightening the muscle and skin around your cellulite. It is possible to get rid of cellulite, just don't rely on a 'miracle cellulite cream' to do it for you.

How to Get Rid of Cellulite on the Thighs

Wondering how to get rid of cellulite on your thighs? The thighs are a problem area for many women and are often a tough spot to fix. The thighs and butt are the most common place for cellulite to gather in women. This article will discuss a few simple tips that can help you get rid of the cellulite you have on your thighs. If you haven't had any luck with cellulite creams, massagers, and other gimmicks, this may be what you've been looking for. In fact, tt's the only proven way to get rid ofcellulite for good, rather than just covering it up.
The thighs and butt are the most problematic areas for women who suffer from cellulite. The skin on the butt and back of the thighs is fairly thin, which exagerates the problem. Women also tend to store most of their bodyfat in the thighs and buttocks. This combination makes cellulite a very common and very visible problem for millions of women.

'Cellulite' is a term made up in salons to describe the bumpy orange peel look that many women have on their thighs.  It's not caused by toxins, circulation problems, excess water storage, or anything else.  It's exactly the same as ordinary fat.  This has been medically proven.  The reason for the dimpled appearance is the underlying fat bulging through the connective tissue under the skin.  Since fat is soft, it doesn't hold the skin taught like muscle does, causing the cottage cheese look.  This gets amplified by a poor diet, hormonal imbalances, and lack of appropriate types of exercise. To help get rid of cellulite on the thighs you can follow these simple tips:

Drink Water - Drinking water can help to reduce cellulite, but not for the reason that you normally hear.  Water does not flush "toxins" out of your cellulite, or anything else.  Water is good for the skin, and can help improve elasticity and make your skin look tighter and younger.  This not only makes you look younger, but can help tighten the skin on the thighs and butt.

Exercise - Many so-called "experts" claim that running, biking, and cardio are good ways to get rid of cellulite.  While this is partially true, its certainly not the fastest or most effective way to do it.  Targeted resistance training can deliver much faster and more noticeable results.  It's also more effective at burning fat than doing cardio, contrary to popular belief.

As a certified personal trainer, I can assure you that a highly targeted resistance training program is the most effective way to lose cellulite. When combined with a few simple dietary tricks, I have seen many women achieve dramatic results. Don't rely on a 'miracle' cellulite cream or other scam to get rid of cellulite for you.  It's not happening.  The most any topical product can do is temporarily cover up the problem.  To actually get rid of cellulite, you need to target the root causes.  A few simple lifestyle changes can put your body in a cellulite fighting state, and give you back the smooth, sexy thighs and butt you once had.
