The Right Way To Do Anti Cellulite Exercise
Removing cellulite is possible if you know which treatments work and which are merely marketing gimmicks designed to make money for their promoters. A quick search on the internet will reveal various treatments ranging from diet and exercise to lotions and massage. Some work well than others, while are simply expensive paths to disappointment and poor results.
One of the most effective treatments is anti cellulite exercise. In fact, this is the most recommended treatment for the condition. However, most women (and even personal trainers) are not aware of the correct way to exercise in order to get rid of cellulite. Probably the biggest misconception is that lots of cardio exercise is required.
Cardio exercise is only part of the equation for cellulite removal. It needs to be combined with strength training. This is because lean muscle is taught and firm, and will improve and tighten the legs, hips and buttocks. By only doing cardio exercise you will remove some of the fat causing the problem but won’t be able to tighten the area for complete recovery from cellulite.
You should do 20 minutes of cardio followed up with 20 minutes of intense weight training three times a week. For the cardio, do exercises that utilize the large muscles in the legs and thighs like running, stair stepping and cycling. For the weight training, focus on exercises like squats, lunges and leg press that work the lower limbs. Make sure that the weight training sets are intense and that you work out hard.
Unfortunately, many women will not follow this anti cellulite exercise program for the fear that strength training will make their bodies bulky. The fact is however, that women do not have the genetics or the natural levels of testosterone in their bodies to be able to build large amounts of muscle. Instead, their bodies respond by tightening and toning the area that are worked – this is exactly what you are trying to achieve from a cellulite exercise workout.
