"The optimal way to combat cellulite is through strength training, cardiovascular work and healthy nutrition."

For example, did you know that the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn, even at rest? Fat cells do not burn anything. But muscle cells in your body require energy. More muscle cells mean a higher metabolism.


Easy Workout ideas!

Any exercise or workout that works your buttocks, thighs, calves, abs, will help you in your fight against cellulite. Try lunges, squats, step-ups, leg curls and leg extensions. Begin with  one set of 15 repetitions for each exercise twice a week. Once you become more comfortable, change it to three sets of 8 to 10 repetitions.

Always remember to warm up and cool down. This helps your body to get ready for your workout and helps it relax afterwards.

Remember, your body loses fat evenly throughout your body.

Dont expect to suddenly lose inches off your thighs and nothing anywhere else.

Not into working out? Then just try to add a bit of exercise into your routine. Take the stairs next time. Walk to the grocery store. Dust off your bicycle. Just remember your body adapts quickly to your routine, which means your progress will taper off. Push yourself a bit. Change your routine. Get your heart rate going!
