Cellulite!

Cellulite is not a disease or medical problem, but rather a recognized cosmetic condition related to the underlying structure of the skin. It is basically fat tissue just under the skin that results in a lax, dimpled skin surface covering the thighs, buttocks, and hips. Here are some proven strategies for minimizing this condition:

  1. Lose weight gradually to preserve your skin’s suppleness.
  2. Don’t crash diet; it makes cellulite worse by reducing the skin’s elasticity
  3. Target muscles in problem areas like thighs and butt with exercises like squats and lunges to smooth out underlying flabby muscles.
  4. Do at least 200 minutes a week of exercise walking, weightlifting, interval training etc. thats a minimum of 40 min 5 days a week.
  5. Promote the resilience of your skin by not smoking, avoiding excessive sun exposure and getting plenty of antioxidants from fruits and vegetables.
