The most effective way to banish cellulite!
April 17, 2007
YES! no guessing.. Let’s put aside those “most effective creams or lotions” and change into our exercise attire. Get moving.
That’s because, despite its infamy, cellulite is just plain old fat (albeit dressed up in slightly more offensive attire), and a key to minimizing it is to drop pounds, according to a 2006 study published in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
But how you shed those pounds matters!!
POINT 1: Crash dieting can actually make cellulite worse by reducing skin’s elasticity, making more of those little puckers noticeable.
Gradual weight loss (to better preserve skin’s suppleness and reduce fat) accompanied by targeted muscle development, which firms and smooths underlying tissue, is the most effective cellulite solution, says Glynis Ablon, MD, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at UCLA.
POINT 2: Follow the workout plan! First burn off extra fats, then develop muscle!
Part 1: Burn Off Cellulite 5 days a week
Blast fat with two types of cardio routines:
- Intense Workouts (an interval program that builds from fitness walks to calorie-blasting runs)
- Moderate Workouts (any aerobic activity you enjoy)
Part 2: Tone, Smooth, and Firm 3 days a week
Tone your muscles by doing six strengthening moves. (Take a day off between these workouts.)

Excellent advice. I have some cellulite of my own I am trying to get rid of.

You are right. Crash diet does not help to reduce cellulite. After cellulite is lump of fat which the connective tissue cannot hold. What you need is something to either break down or burn the fat. Your suggestions seem to fit this criteria.
