Fighting the Cellulite Battle…

First and foremost…please keep in mind that during the course of this article, I will not be speaking about how to get rid of cellulite, rather I will be talking about how to diminish its appearance.

Secondly, please keep in mind that cellulite doesn’t only happen to “bigger” people, cellulite can develop on the thinnest of thin people.

That being said, let’s move on to the topic at hand shall we?..

Cellulite has been called many names, cottage cheese, stubborn ugly stuff, and orange peel to name a few. But here’s the thing, cellulite doesn’t need to be your ugly friend. You can fight this battle…but only if you’re willing to of course. The following are some tips that have worked for some women (and men) that I have worked with in the past, and so I’m passing the tips and tricks on to you, right here on TRIMM.

1) Drink tons of water (8-10 glasses)

The more water you drink, the more you have to go to the bathroom. The more you go the bathroom, the more toxins and fats you rid your body of, which is what we’re trying to aim for:)

2) Exercise

I have a certain saying when it comes to losing fat, “the more it jiggles, the better”. If you’re running and you don’t like the way your butt jiggles, it’s okay, because remember, the more it jiggles, the less cellulite you’ll see at the end of the day.

3) Lift weights

Cellulite usually forms in areas where there is lack of muscle development. So if you have cellulite in your arms, you may want to consider lifting heavier weights (higher reps for you women out there that aren’t looking to bulk up), if you have cellulite in the backs of your thighs, try doing deadlifts or various hamstring exercises.

4) Rub/massage your problem spots.

This works very well for those of you that lather up after a shower. Alot of treatments that treat cellulite out there nowadays use a massage technique that simply does the same thing you can do at home. By massaging, you are breaking apart the clustered fat cells in your problem areas. And combined with drinking water and exercising, your making it that much easier for that fat to exit your body:)
