The top 5 cellulite exercises

The top 5 cellulite exercises

Cellulite occurs when fat protrudes from the deposits within it (which are usually smooth) so that it protrudes and presses against the skin unevenly, creating the dimpling effect on your skin known as cellulite. The reason for this is that the connective tissue between the fat becomes damaged and can no longer properly accommodate the fat cells in the home, even in the arrangement in which they are supposed to be.

With a good diet (lots of water, fruits, green leafy vegetables, very little trans fats and sugar, etc.) and the right exercises that are particularly effective against cellulite, you can significantly reduce or even completely eliminate cellulite that cellulite you may have.

The 5 most effective exercises to combat cellulite

1. Yoga, especially modified shoulder stand (Ardha Salamba Sarvangasana) and plow pose (Halasana). Yoga is fantastic when it comes to stretching the entire body, and this stretching effect not only relieves the creasing effect of cellulite by stretching the connective tissue, but also increases lymph flow to fat areas - lymph is the body fluid that contains white blood cells that help flush out toxins, thereby reducing cellulite. Upside-down poses, known as “inversions” in yoga, are particularly good at doing both of these things (stretching and stimulating lymphatic flow). This is how it works:

Shoulder stand

First, it is highly recommended that you do these poses with the help of a certified yoga instructor or at least find a good instructional video online (just search “yoga shoulder stand” on YouTube). Now here's how to do it: Lie on your back with your arms at your side, then bend at the knees and slowly rock your legs up, lifting your knees to your forehead - for extra support, place your hands under your hips. Remember to keep your elbows on the floor and then hold this position for about 8 to 10 breaths. Then slowly lower your knees and carefully roll back onto the floor.

Plow pose

Starting from the top in half shoulderstand, straighten your legs as you extend them over your head and then place your toes on the floor. Now stretch your arms towards the floor with your palms facing down. Simply hold this position for 8 to 10 breaths and then bend your knees again to your forehead and gently lower your body to the floor.

2. Cardio (aerobics)

You Knew This Was Coming: It's pretty obvious that reducing the amount of fat in your body will help eliminate cellulite, because cellulite essentiallyisFat (misshapen fat, but still fat). Choose anything you want, preferably something fun, like a sport or activity that you enjoy so much that you can do it long-term, rather than just busting your butt for a few weeks, getting tired of it and quitting. Cycling, racquetball (many gyms have racquetball courts), tennis, basketball, swimming and running are fantastic options - take lessons for a fun new sport you want to learn (like tennis or racquetball), it's a great way to do it.

3. Squats

Squats are undoubtedly the greatest and most effective butt and leg exercise there is. Nothing beats them. Since this involves moving heavy dumbbells, I strongly recommend that you seek professional help and hire a trainer to show you exactly how to do them correctly with proper technique and form so that you don't risk injuring yourself. Squats while eating a proper diet (high protein, restricted calories) will besolidEffective in improving the appearance of your butt and legs, not only reducing cellulite but also toning and toning.

4. Lunges

Second best butt-leg exercise next to squats and can be used in conjunction with them. Again, these are dumbbells, so I recommend getting support from a trainer. These work each individual leg independentlyYes, reallyStretch your legs and expend plenty of time when you do them. So they're a great exercise if you're specifically targeting cellulite.

5. Machine kickbacks

These are specifically designed to isolate and work the butt. They are performed using specific equipment that you can find in almost every gym. So they are a bit safer than the other exercises that require free weights. This is the exercise when you don't know where to push back with your foot against a resistant arm by kicking your leg back, usually while standing. When you do this, you're using almost exclusively the muscles in your butt to do it.
