Cellulite Treatments

It’s no secret. Cellulite reduction is a common wish among women of all ages, regardless of body weight or body fat. Women spend billions of dollars on cellulite treatments and cellulite creams every year, usually with little or no lasting results. There are tons of articles out there giving you ‘the answers’. (And I don’t mean the ‘advertorials’ that are trying to sell you anti cellulite cream, lotion or pills.) The truth is, your best weapons in your battle against unwelcome cellulite and the burning question ‘how to get rid of cellulite’?, are a smart nutritional routine and a consistent, properly structured home workout program consisting of targeted anti-cellulite exercises.

Anti cellulite nutrition focuses on minimally processed, high nutrient content foods. Salads, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins such as fish, turkey, beans and eggs are at the top of the list for foods that promote cellulite reduction.

As for the properly structured cellulite exercise workout program, I’ve put together a butt, hip and thigh routine which you can incorporate into your current workouts if you have one. This routine specifically targets the areas where cellulite tends to ‘hang out’.

Bear in mind, I’ve been training people since the late eighties. Speaking strictly from experience, I can tell you that the following routine is responsible for helping many women dramatically change the appearance of their cellulite areas.

- Lying on your side, do 10 reps of each anti cellulite exercise:

• 1) Bring both knees forward so your hips are at a 90 degree angle. Then straighten your top leg out in front of you, still keeping 90 degrees at the hip. Lift the top leg slowly about three feet off the ground & down.

• 2) Straighten both legs so your body is in a straight line. Tilt the hips forward slightly. Lift the top leg about three feet off the ground & down.

• 3) Repeat on the other side.

- On the elbows and knees, do 10 reps of each anti cellulite exercise:

• 1) Extend one leg straight back with your toe on the ground. Lift that leg up toward the ceiling & down. Then switch legs.

• 2) Lift your knee off the floor. Extend that same heel back and up so your leg is pointing toward the ceiling & then bring the knee back into you. Then switch legs.

- Standing up, do 10 reps of each anti cellulite exercise:

• 1) Start with your feet together. Step out in front in to a lunge position. Touch the ground with opposite hand. Come back up & step back to the starting position. Then switch legs.

• 2) Put one foot up on a step (12 – 18 inches high). Slowly step up and down with the other foot. Then switch legs.

If this routine is easy try going through it twice. If you still need more of a challenge, increase the reps to 15 or 20 per set. Do this anti cellulite exercise program two to three times per week and you’ll soon realize that you have found a true cellulite treatment that will also save you a lot of money that you would be spending on cellulite treatments, creams and lotions that never work. Remember, ‘it’s all in the exercises’.

Lower body cellulite is the nasty, unsexy condition that affects ladies of all ages, sizes and body-types. One of the most desired goals for the female body is permanent cellulite reduction and removal. Millions and millions of dollars are wasted on cellulite treatment scams, fake pills, bogus treatments and dangerous procedures every year. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Here are five proven tips to help you start getting rid of depressing cellulite within the next few days.

• ONE – You must, must, must stop sitting on your butt all day long, Sweetcakes… It’s a known fact that sitting on your rear end all day makes it bigger, and wider – creating more area, a larger canvas shall we say, for nasty cellulite to ‘show up’. And, I’m willing to bet the more sitting you are doing the less exercise you are doing. Am I right or am I right?

• TWO – You gotta stop working out like a freaking nut case… You can exercise ’til you cripple yourself and pass out – But that doesn’t mean you’ll get rid of your depressing cellulite. Yes, exercise does help get rid of cellulite, its one of the few things (arguably the only way) that does work in this regard – BUT it must be the right type of exercise program – If it is not, you’ll just be wasting your time, risking possible injury (and possibly making the cellulite worse). I’ve seen this happen time and time again over the years. And I still see women doing this.

If you want the real benefits of permanent cellulite reduction – you have to take the ‘bull’ by the horns (or ‘the horn’ in this case) and work it, baby. There are many great positions and pleasurable movements that will allow you to break a good sweat as you work out your butt, hip and thighs – OH YEAH BABY!

• THREE – Quickly disown your dear mother… If you have been cursed with cellulite – there’s a good chance you’re blaming your innocent mom for it. This is a load of junk- it doesn’t matter what your mom’s rear end and thighs look like – you are not her and she is not you, baby. Understand? – so you can forget about the lame genetic excuse – despite what your friend’s, brother’s sister in law is telling you about ‘genetics’. Next time you talk to your mom – ask her what she has tried to do about her cellulite problem.

And she’ll say something like – “Oh, darling – I’ve tried everything for this cottage cheese on my lower body – the creams, the body wraps, the pills that gave me the GI condition – even those plastic undergarments. It’s horrible – your father hasn’t made love to me with the lights on in about 35 years, maybe longer – now that I think about it – the rotten bum hasn’t made love to me in 35 years with the lights off either! Anyhow – why do you ask sweetheart?”

Then you ask her – “Well mother, have you ever tried the Cellulite Reduction version of the Leg, Butt, Hip and Thigh Makeover from Joey Atlas? – They call him ‘The Ladies’ Trainer’ – and he’s a real hottie too.”

And she’ll say, “Honey, you know I was never one for the sweaty gym and pumping weights and doing those dangerous machines. Is this Joey related to Charles Atlas by any chance?”

And you’ll say, “Ok mother, you obviously haven’t done Joey’s anti cellulite exercise program – because his program doesn’t even involve weights and machines – you can do his whole program at home, right in your own living room. I guess there is hope for me after all. I gotta go, mom – I’m ordering Joey’s leg, butt, hip and thigh program – I’ll talk to you later. Hey, one last thought – maybe you should try Joey’s program – Who knows maybe you’ll get lucky with dad, again…”

• FOUR- Make these super simple tweaks to your daily nutrition… Reduce your sodium (salt) intake, reduce/eliminate your intake of artificial (chemical) sweeteners and food additives, make olive oil part of your daily nutrition, hydrate (drink water or healthy fluids) consistently, every day.

Do you have depressing, unsightly cellulite? How Long have you had it? What are you doing to get rid of it? What cellulite products or treatments have you tried in the past?

• FIVE – Get started right now with these laser targeted, easy and effective Anti Cellulite Exercises:

1 – Slow leg lift for your butt and hips, laying on floor, preferably on a mat or soft surface.

2 – Stepping touch down for your legs and thighs – move slowly and breath gently.

3 – Angled heel push to sky (on elbows and knees), preferably on a mat or soft surface.

4 – Simple step ups for the legs, butt, hips & thighs – move slowly and breath gently.

It’s no secret that there are scam cellulite treatments in the form of exercise gadgets, creams, lotions, cellulite wraps and pills just to name a couple, that are actually causing more cellulite problems on women’s toughest trouble spots. The FDA and the FTC are constantly putting the squeeze on companies that market these rip-off products and programs to unsuspecting women.

But even with this type of policing – innocent women are still falling victim to body harming cellulite treatments. Here’s a perfect example:

A typical woman gets so furious about the cellulite bumps and dimples on her lower body and finally decides to start an exercise program, something she really doesn’t want to do. But since the girl that does her manicures told her that she heard exercise gets rid of cellulite in the legs, butt, hips, thighs and tummy…

She joins the local gym and gets put on an exercise program with all the typical weights and machines – which is the equivalent of feeling the need to break an egg… with a friggin’ sledge hammer for heaven’s sake…

It’s important to note this type of situation can happen many ways – like a helpful husband who buys the wife a trashy piece of anti-cellulite exercise equipment, or the boyfriend encourages his girlfriend to join Curves circuit training for ladies… just too many to list here.

So she gets into the exercise routine …busting her butt for a few weeks …the initial muscle soreness diminishes and she’s cruising along doing two or three hard leg, butt, thigh and ab workouts every week.

But every time she strips down to naked before getting in the bath or shower – she glances in the mirror and the dimply bumpy skin is still there with no cellulite reduction at all – maybe just a little stronger in the legs – BUT with a few new aches and pains in her back, knees and hips to go along with the first stages of humiliation and anger.

It’s important to note here, this happens with all the rip-off cellulite scams and bogus treatments on the market.

But here is where the problem lies… exercise, wait let me be more specific, the ‘proper exercises’ will reduce and banish cellulite on the legs, butt, hips, thighs and tummy. However, general exercises that are prescribed to the masses – are not designed to specifically get rid of cellulite on a woman’s lower body

Here’s a great analogy that illustrates this perfectly:

Do you remember that scene in Rocky where he beats the daylights out of the side of beef hanging in the meat locker where Paulie works?

When he’s done killing the side of beef with all he’s got – it still in one piece, however it’s badly bruised, pretty bloodied, and obviously battered with some broken ribs. Later that same hunk of beef which took a vicious pounding, gets sliced, trimmed and cut into a few dozen pieces with a small, but razor sharp butcher’s knife without the weak butcher breaking one drop of sweat or getting out of breath

Here’s the lesson – the butcher got the precise job done, properly, with the right tools and the targeted method

Which takes me back to the fact about nasty cellulite treatments that actually make the condition worse – the horrific opposite of what women want!.

So the woman we were talking about earlier is now a few more weeks into her cellulite reduction exercise program and she’s convinced the cellulite is not reducing, on the contrary – as much as she doesn’t want to admit, she’s realizing the cellulite is getting even worse.

Truth be told, an exercise program that doesn’t get rid of lower body cellulite – won’t prevent it from getting worse and spreading either. Mean, but still true nonetheless.

Easy to understand, right?

Naturally, this frustrated woman quits the body bashing fitness center workouts and gives up hope. Now here’s the deeper issue and bigger problem. She still actually thinks the exercise program she was on was intended to reduce her cellulite, when in reality it wasn’t at all.

Because of this damaging mis-perception, she’s now convinced it’s her bad genetics that have plagued her lower body and her sex appeal for the rest of her long life.

This type of scenario happens every single day – all over the world, many times over. I know, because I’ve been helping women like this for about twenty-one years.

You may be the type of woman who has experienced this type of misdirection and subsequent letdown. But I’ll bet you haven’t totally lost hope.

You may have cellulite… You may not have any cellulite, YET – or you may be trying to prevent lower body cellulite as you get older.

Whatever the case I hope this article has helped you understand the dangers of ineffective cellulite reduction treatments and how to avoid the pain, agony and despair that result from choosing the wrong method.=

Cellulite reduction is one of the most profitable areas of the beauty industry. Not because the passive treatments work – but because they are all deceptively marketed at desperate women – who don’t even know what cellulite is. The beauty and cosmetics industry can get away with a lot ‘trickery’ when it comes to advertising their cellulite treatment products because most of what they sell is for superficial, passive use.

More on the legal stuff later…

Do you know this type of woman?

She looks great in her ‘sexy jeans’… She looks amazing in a form fitted skirt… and she actually looks like a ‘hottie’ in her workout gear… But when she’s naked – she can’t stand to look at her trouble spots in the mirror because of her cellulite…

A bikini is out of the question… the short little dress won’t see the light of day… and her man is only allowed to “see her” with the lights off…

She doesn’t know why she has it. She’s heard so many different ‘theories’. And she’s wasted hundreds, if not, thousands on supposed ‘cellulite treatments‘ – only to find more disappointment and frustration when her cellulite got worse, instead of better…

She may have even tried “the gym thing” – doing the same routine every other members does – again only to find the cellulite is still there…

She loves her weight, her size and even her shape… All she wants is to be cellulite free…

Truth be told there is only one proven way to get rid of cellulite. And yes, it is ‘exercise’ – but it’s not just any old fitness routine… The effective way to banish cellulite is with a specifically structured, laser-targeted cellulite reduction exercise program.

In order for the program to deliver the desired results, it must include these six principles called, R.E.D.U.C.E.

R.E.D.U.C.E.

• 1 – Replace all ‘weight and machine’ lower body exercises with bodyweight exercises — this may seem counter-intuitive to the mainstream ‘fitness’ approach to cellulite reduction – but its the main reason why it actually works…

• 2 - Emphasize the slowness of each repetition – This allows the whole muscle to be involved and properly engaged in each exercise – a key to lower body cellulite reduction

• 3 – Don’t get caught up in the ‘No pain – no gain’ mentality — this concept forces women to think “doing more is better” which is not the case. This actually prohibits the desired result of cellulite reduction and this is also where exercise related injuries occur…

• 4 – Utilize ‘items’ in your home for a complete lower body, anti-cellulite exercise program – items such as a cushioned chair or couch, a firm ottoman, and a pantry step stool are ideal…

• 5 – Concentrate on moving from one exercise to the next with no more than 20 seconds between sets — this is an important element for the cellulite reduction effect…

• 6 – Expect visible cellulite reduction to start within 2 – 3 weeks if you get your lower body sessions in three times per week (some women can get away with just two sessions per week).

It is widely know that cellulite affects women of all ages, body types, and body weights.

Unfortunately this allows for a lot of unscrupulous marketers of ‘hyped up’ products, to take advantage of desperate and hopeful women. They employ sneaky advertising tactics that prey on the emotional pain of this large target market – bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars in profits year after year – WITHOUT delivering the promised results…

But even when a woman tries the ‘exercise’ approach to cellulite reduction – she usually falls victim of simply not being on a cellulite-specific exercise program… Hence perpetuating her constant battle with all the ways her cellulite affects her daily life, attitude and happiness…

If you’ve “tried everything” with no results to show for your efforts -take a close look at your exercise program (if you are on one right now) and see how you can incorporate the principles of R.E.D.U.C.E. outlined above.

Most of all just be aware that the only way to get rid of the ‘orange peel’ look of your ‘problem zones’ is by proper stimulation of the muscles directly beneath your cellulite areas – not with some ‘bodybuilder’ routine, not with a magical rub-on cream and not with a vibrating toxin releasing massage treatment.

Now its up to you to get off the rollercoaster of all the hype associated with CELLULITE TREATMENTS. Make the right choice to pick the treatment that has provided many women with a successful treatment. NAKED BEAUTY – “Cellulite Free In 24 Days, Guaranteed”
