Millions of dollars are spent, every month, by women who wish to rid their skin of the dimples and bumps most commonly known as cellulite. The problem is - most of this money is spent in vain - with no resulting cellulite reduction to show for the time, expense and inconvenience.
In this article I will illustrate the truth about cellulite and the only proven way to get rid of it, permanently
First things first. Cellulite is not a skin condition. Its a structural issue that can be corrected. The dimples and bumps are not a superficial element - they are only the visible effect of what is happening below the outermost layers of the skin.
Second important point: Cellulite is not caused by the build up of 'toxins'. This is simply a bunch of sleazy marketing lingo - that actually sounds like it 'could be' true, to the common woman.
Third important point: Although some overweight women do have cellulite - it's not necessarily a result of excess body fat. There are countless women who are not overweight - who actually have slim bodies - but they do have the dimples and bumps in their trouble spots, such as their legs, butt, hips and thighs.
So, what is cellulite and how can it be reduced?
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.
The only way to get rid of cellulite is by changing the physical structure of the supporting muscle layers which sit directly behind/beneath the cellulite skin. When these muscles get firmer and just a little fuller - they push out against the skin - giving it a smoother and tighter appearance.
The beauty of this method is that you don't need to worry about all the different weights and machines of the fitness center because all of these exercises can be done in the privacy of your own home - instead of the crowded and sweaty gym.
The 'Slow Touch', the 'Heel Push', the '9-inch Step Back' and the 'Butt-Thigh Lifter' are just a few of these synergistic cellulite reduction exercises. And since these exercises require no weights or machines, women of all ages can do them - and you can still follow your cellulite removal program even when you travel.
So grab your exercise mat (no leg warmers, please ;-) and give yourself a solid 20 minutes to go through the proper moves - with correct form, tempo & sequence - and watch the improvements come with each passing week.
