Different Methods
Removing cellulite is a lengthy process because it takes dedication. There are massage therapies that are helpful in reducing the appearance of it, and the use of creams can sometimes erase all appearances of cellulite – depending on the amount you have on your body. Other treatments include heat therapy, coffee/caffeine, body wraps, surgical methods and exercise.
Exercises for You
Any type of exercise will allow you to begin the process of eliminating cellulite, and it’s important to incorporate a variety of different movements in order to keep from becoming bored or used to your routine.
Cardio
Walking is still considered an exercise, even if jogging and running are the most popular forms of cardio. Walking causes you to burn calories and make your muscles move, which helps reduce your cellulite.
Other forms of cardio are sports like basketball, which incorporates jumping into the mix; but tennis, badminton, swimming, volleyball, soccer and football are also fun to play, and cause you to move around while having fun! Kickboxing is considered a cardio workout too and shouldn’t be forgotten about. This form of exercising causes you to manipulate both your upper and lower body, and learning how to throw a punch is just a bonus!
Aerobic exercises are also very effective when dealing with the problem. Like cardio exercises, aerobic exercises get blood circulating in your body, and can even build muscle in the process. Having good blood circulation and strong muscles will create a not-so-suitable environment for cellulite to grow in your body. And because muscle burns more calories than fat, your body won’t need to find places to store calories because they’ll be burned off by your muscles. Jumping jacks and jumping rope are both forgotten as we get older, but adding them to your routine can help you burn the calories and cellulite off of your body.
Using Weights
Weightlifting sometimes feels like a chore, but it can be the difference in keeping cellulite or losing it. Fortunately, lifting weights doesn’t have to mean you are building huge muscles to compete in bodybuilding competitions! Furthermore, in order “to stay cellulite-free, it’s just as important to lift weights as it is to burn fat with cardio exercises”. As a reminder, it’s important to practice caution when beginning a new workout routine to avoid injury. Consult with a physician for a better personalized program.
