Cellulite is natural and common. It affects up to 90% of people – particularly women. Though it is not painful or a problem, it commonly impacts confidence and makes people self-conscious. So, the good news is it is possible to prevent cellulite to feel more confident in your skin. How? Let’s find out!
Exercise to Prevent Cellulite
A cardio and strength-training combination workout plan is the answer to prevent cellulite. Cardio activities will improve the appearance of cellulite. Think about walking, running, biking and swimming. Anything that gets you moving, ideally for at least 30 minutes every day.
Strength Training
Strength training activities will help to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Focus on weight-lifting, resistance bands, pilates and yoga. Yoga improves circulation and helps to prevent fluid retention.
Squats
Squats are a go-to exercise to work the muscles and help to reduce the appearance of cellulite across the thighs and bottom. Perform 2-3 sets of 12 squats for the best results. As you get used to your workout, add in resistance bands. This will up the ante of the workout to produce greater results.
High-impact
If your body is able to do high-impact activities, you can enhance the squat by turning it into a squat jump. Avoid “spot exercises”. These are exercises that claim to target specific areas of cellulite. You don’t want to only focus on leg and bum exercises. You want to give your whole body a healthy workout. Always remember, the best exercises are the ones you enjoy – because then you are more likely to stick to them!
