Got Cellulite? Here's How to Smooth, Firm and Tighten Your Cellulite Zones

June 1, 2009 - 12:33pm 15285 reads 5 comments

Cellulite is the visible, superficial result of un-toned, underused muscles, beneath/below the areas of skin which show the cellulite dimples and bumps.

Even women who exercise can still have cellulite. The reason why is that not all exercises can get rid of cellulite. There are some exercises which specifically target, and stimulate, the muscle layers directly underneath the cellulite problem areas. Proper implementation of these cellulite specific exercises are the only proven way to eliminate cellulite.

A general fitness routine is just that - a general exercise program intended for general well-being and health. A cellulite specific exercise program is different in that it consists of a series of very specific exercises which when combined in the same program, result in real and substantial improvements in the female trouble spots.

The reason why these exercises work are because they address the structural causes of the dimples and bumps that show on the outer layer of skin. There is no 'passive' treatment (creams, pills, etc...) that will ever get rid of cellulite - no matter how expensive or how scientific it sounds.

Both aerobic and weight lifting can do wonders on getting rid or minimize cellulite in our legs and other parts of the body. Read it all here. http://www.female-workout.com/female-workout/an-effective-way-to-remove-...

There is no proven way to get rid of or reduce cellulite.

Dr. Molly Wanner, professor of dermatology at Harvard Medical School published a report on that in 2008.

Know what that was up there?

That's a SOURCE.

I didn't just make a claim and expect you to believe it.

I actually told you how I came to know that fact.

Got it, Joey?

If there's a "proven method to get rid of" cellulite, shouldn't you be able to tell us who proved it?

Huh, Joey?

Ya think?

I found out about the Made from Earth skincare line on the Tyra Banks show. She had several guests trying the VITAMIN ENHANCED FACE FIRMING cream on their face and the results were pretty amazing.

I bought the cream - and used for my face - but I decided to put some on my cellulite areas - LADIES - IT WORKED.

I am in my early 40's and fairly slim but my skin is not nearly as firm as it once was and I have always had cellulite. I have been using the Made from Earth "Vitamin Enhanced Face Firming Serum" for over a 3 weeks now and am thrilled. My skin's firmness has returned to what it was in my 20's.

I can already see a difference in my cellulite. I do not expect that this product will completely eliminate every ripple and dimple but I can see that it is resulting in a massive improvement.

I have used countless anti-cellulite products, many of which were very costly and none produced results significant enough to talk about. The Made from Earth Firming Cream is the only product that I have used that I think warrants any type of recommendation and this one gets two thumbs up!

It is a FACE CREAM YES (which makes it a bit expensive)- but it does work for cellulite. On their website they also have a BUY 3 option which I did to save some money. VERY well worth it.

I use emu oil body lotion and regular massages from the boyfriend to help the cellulite. :D

Emu oil from www.emu-oil-well.com
Boyfriend is mine but I believe they can be found online, in bars and in front of computers....

Its amazing what people will believe or put themselves through to avoid plain old fashioned work. If you do the work the changes will come and you will be healthier in the long run. Bashing the guy for putting a healthy option out there... Is well... Childish.

Keep providing options and let the lonely lazy fat people keep doing what they do!
