Cellulite has appeared—now what?
Cellulite? Gynoid lipodystrophy, popularly known as cellulite, affects 98% of women… It consists of an abnormal accumulation of fat in one area and ends up affecting nearby tissues (connective tissue). Because a lot of fat is “squeezed” into one place, the blood vessels in that area are also affected.
The solution? No outlandish claims or magic formulas… TRAINING AND DIET. Ahhhh, but what kind of training, you may be asking?? Lots of reps and light weights??? NOOOO!!!
Light weights and lots of reps DO NOT eliminate localized fat! Focus on intense, short-duration training…WITH progressive overload!
Vary your training stimuli
Alternate metabolic and mechanical tension stimuli! And, of course, eat a healthy diet! I won’t get into the debate about creams, aesthetic treatments, magazine remedies, …after all, what woman can live without those… it’s part of the female universe. 🙎🏻🙎🏽🙋🏼🙅🏻
All women have cellulite
Just so you know: All women in the world, famous or not, have cellulite too. “Perfection” doesn’t exist… that’s called Photoshop… I’m sure you’ve seen a “magazine cover girl” or “soap opera star” in person on the street or at the beach and realized she wasn’t “quite like that” as she appears on TV… Don’t be so hard on yourself!
“A woman without cellulite isn’t a woman.” The goal here is to fight EXCESS cellulite, which can indicate neglecting your health.

Try to train your lower body at least twice a week, increasing the weight over time to challenge your muscles. Some of the most effective exercises for the lower body include:
