What is Cellulite?

The term cellulite is known as the fatty, unsightly layer of fat cells that have gathered under the surface of the skin causing a dimpling, crater-like appearance to the skin. In order to perform the necessary cellulite exercises that will help eliminate the dimply, orange-peel skin, you must first understand what cellulite is.

Despite the fact that cellulite is an area of fat deposit in the body, it is noted however that the condition is different than those fat deposits in the other areas of the body due to its close proximity to the surface of the skin.

Also, women are much more prone to getting it; studies show that about 90% of women experience it at some point in their life whereas men rarely are exposed to it. Also, there are other factors which make certain women more prone to getting it: these factors are:

• age
• gender
• diet
• elasticity of the skin
• and genetics

There are many opinions on how to get rid of cellulite, including but not limited to lasers (cellulaze), lotions and cellulite reduction creams, pills, diets, and cellulite exercises.

Though many of these promise to increase cellulite reduction, the best way is to make a few small changes in your diet as well as your exercise routine. Performing these exercises will aid in balancing your hormone levels (including estrogen), improving blood circulation, and reducing edema or fluid retention.

 

Cellulite Exercises You Can Do At Home

All of these exercises we will discuss can be done in the comfort of your home, and require very little space or equipment.

You should start by setting aside about 20 minutes per day and perform on a schedule of 3 days per week; we recommend Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Cardio First

Get started by doing some light cardio for about 2 minutes to get the blood circulating. If you have an exercise bike or treadmill, this will be great. Otherwise if you live in a warmer climate, take a walk. After your 2 min warmup, increase your pace for 8 minutes and finish with a 2 minute cool down.

Your total cardio warm-up regimen should be about 12 minutes.

Your Strength Training Exercises

• Scissors Press
• Advanced Step - Up
• Lunges with Dumbbells
• Squats with Dumbbells
• Inner Thigh Squeeze

Goal Planning and Strategy

It is important that when you start any exercise and diet routine, including this cellulite exercise regimen, that you make a goal sheet, and stick to it! Not only will you be attacking your cellulite, but increasing your overall cardiovascular and muscle health, which will help prevent:

• Cardiovascular disease
• osteoporosis
• Diabetes

...just to name a few.

Complement Your Exercises With a Balanced Diet

You do not have to go on a crazy, master-cleanse diet and give up your favorite foods in order to reduce cellulite on your body. You just need to incorporate a few ingredients that will not only fill you up, but boost your body's metabolism and increase cellulite reduction.

How To Get Rid Of Cellulite With Your Diet

Learning how to get rid of cellulite is simply a matter of making a few key changes in your dietary habits. The most successful diet changes are done gradually over time so that you are less likely to fail.

We will look at a few different food supplements that you can add to your existing diet that will help you get rid of cellulite. I also suggest doing an easy, targeted exercise routine to speed up the process.

No Cellulite Here!

 How Does Changing Your Diet Help With Cellulite Removal?
The best thing you can do to your diet to help with cellulite removal is by increasing your fiber intake. It is no surprise that a high fiber diet is the number one recommendation many diet regimens suggest for optimal physical health.

Fiber not only lowers cholesterol, but it cleans up the system by absorbing toxins, many of which are responsible for cellulite and fat creation. You will also want to increase your sulfur intake.

Go Organic - Your Hormones Depend On It
Last, if it is possible, substitute your fresh foods with organically grown foods, as you will avoid many of the added toxins and pesticides that can be found in non-organic grown foods.

How To Get Rid of Cellulite With Fat Burning Foods
If you want to get rid of cellulite on your thighs and buttocks region, eating high fiber, filling foods will aid in getting rid of the toxins in your body that are helping to keep the cellulite-ridden skin.
Here is a list of foods you can start substituting into your diet to eliminate cellulite:

• Ground Flaxseed
• Quinoa
• Oatmeal
• Chia Seeds

I recommend adding these to salads, soups, yogurt, cottage cheese, and your other favorite foods. They will fill you up too so you end up eating fewer calories and burning fat in other areas of your body!

Another key nutrient that you will want to add to your diet is sulfur. Here is a list of sulfur rich foods that will aid in eliminating toxins in your body:

• broccoli
• cauliflower
• brussel sprouts
• radish
• onion
• kale
• pumpkin seeds
• cabbage
• spirulina (I recommend a supplement for this one)

These foods aid in the rebuilding of fibrous connective tissue in the skin. This is important in tightening the skin and eliminating the saggy appearance associated with cellulite.
Follow these simple diet tips to increase your overall nutrition and help eliminate the cellulite on your body! Plus, it doesn't take a huge shift in your diet, you can start by simply substituting and adding these ingredients to your existing diet.
