Exercises for Cellulite

Exercises to lose weight and cellulite

I know there are a lot of you that don’t like to exercise.  I don’t blame you.   There are usually a ton of other things I’d rather be doing – or just getting more sleep! :)  But we can’t solve our cellulite problem with the same kind of thinking that got us here, and that is the thinking that we don’t have to exercise and eat right to lose our cellulite.  We do.  But we don’t have to be un-intelligent about it, do we girls?!  So I want to give you some tips on how to do it right.

More exercise doesn’t necessarily mean more weight loss.  I talked to many of my clients who believed they just needed to work out longer to lose more weight.  While that’s true to a certain extent, we do reach a point of diminishing returns very quickly.  It is much better to make sure that when you do go to the gym, or do get out to exercise that you aren’t cheating yourself.  What do I mean be this?  Let me explain…

Let’s say it’s your New Year’s resolution to walk a half hour every day.  The first day you walk, you are noticeably out of wind, your legs start to cramp, and your feet are killing you!  Day 2 might even be worse!!  But after about a week or so, you begin to notice that it isn’t as hard anymore.  As a matter of fact, you are walking the same route, but it’s taking less time and less energy.  Great!  Or is it?  It is great in the sense that it’s a good sign that you’re getting in better heart shape, and you’ve probably noticed it on the scale, too.  But if you continue to keep walking the same route in the same amount of time, your body will adjust and you will soon get to know what the term “plateau” means in weight loss.

In order to combat your body’s ability to adjust, you can do a couple things.  1: Vary your workouts.  Go for a walk one day.  Take an aerobics class another, etc…  Keep your body guessing.  Heck, keep you guessing!  The more active you become, the more you may want to try.  I know people that ended up climbing mountains not many months after they were lifelong couch potatoes.  2: Always increase intensity as your fitness level increases.  If you can walk the same route for a week in the same amount of time, try lengthening the route.  The idea is to not add more time, but to add more workout.  If you use an elliptical trainer, for example, instead of adding more time to your routine, go from 60 RPM to 65 or 70 RPM.  The idea is to move faster.   

If you lift weights (which is very recommend to gain lean muscle mass to burn more calories – don’t worry, you won’t get bulky, Ladies) continually add more weight as your routine keeps getting easier.  Keep in mind that you aren’t working out just to go through the motions.  You are working out with a purpose  - to LOSE YOUR CELLULITE and FEEL & LOOK GREAT!  Start with the end in mind and don’t stop until you look in the mirror one day and see a new you.  At that point it will be maintenance and won’t take as much hard work.

I’ve been there.  I know what it takes.  I have put together my Goodbye Cellulite System for you to take the guess work out of it.  It has worked for my clients, I know it will work for you, too!

 

To your Health and Success!
