CD Will Coach You To Lose Cellulite Through HypnosisCellulite is stubborn fat that is caught between bands of connective tissue. Almost all women have some and desperately want to get rid of it in order to look great in a bathing suit or shorts. While you may not be able to get rid of it compleletly you can definitely reduce it and look great by following the following advice. The key to your succees with the following suggestions is to be persistent and have a positive attitude.
There are a range of different anti-cellulite treatments that range from Endermologie, VelaSmooth, Mesotherapy and Topical Treatments. Some of these treatments are extremely effective in getting rid of cellulite, but you must exercise in order to keep it off. Even if you don't use one of these treatments, exercise will make your body look better. You need to do both strength and conditioning exercises and cardiovascular exercise.
Squats are one of the best conditioning exercises that you can do for your cellulite prone areas.
Here are 2 different ways to do squats. In the first exercise, you stand on both legs and add a butt blasting additional movement. The second exercise is the one legged squat which activates more muscle tissue in the backside and hips then almost any other exercise.
**** This is very important because you want to develop as much muscle tissue in the areas where you have cellulite as possible. By having more muscle tissue, your hips, legs and buttocks will look more toned. Also, when you have more muscle tissue in your body, you burn more calories, even at rest.
Basic Squat
1- Stand with your feet a bit wider then shoulders width apart. Roll your shoulders back so that your chest is sticking out slightly. Your abdominals are contracted in slightly so that your can feel them pressed in towards your spine (use this as focus for your core). Your arms are at your sides. Wear athletic shoes that give you lots of support.
2- Shift all of your weight onto your heels. Stick your backside out and lower your body, keeping the emphasis on using the muscles in your butt and backs of your legs. You need to have your weight on your heels in order to do this. Try putting a chair underneath your butt and do the squat so that your butt almost touches the seat of your chair. Do not squat down lower then 90 degress.
3- Slowly rise up to the starting position. Breath out as you lower your body and breath in as you rise back up. When you get back up to the starting postition, do 1 isometric contraction of your glutes (butt).
4. Do 10 to 20 repetitions according to your fitness level.
Note: Most often, people distribute their weight in a way so that the thighs and knees do all of the work. Take care not to do this.
Butt Blasting Addition: If your knees are healthy, add this butt blasting plyometric movement.
1- Put your feet a bit wider then shoulders width apart.
2. Lower down into a squat position. Be sure that your arms are out in front of you. Swing your arms down as you leap straight up into the air.
3. When you leap up, straighten your legs.
4. When you land, make sure your knees are bent.
5. Do this 10 times.
If you are pretty fit, repeat the sequence of the squats with the plyometric leap. You also need to add at least 3 days of 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise. Pick something that you like to do to ensure that you will do it.
1 Legged Squat
Exercise labs have tested the 1 Legged Squat and have shown that it activates a large amount of muscle tissue.
1. Stand up straight and put your body in a good posture to exercise as follows: -Roll your shoulders up, back and around and lift your chest up and -Press your abdominals slightly in towards your spine.
2. Get your balance and stand on one leg. The other leg should be lifted so that your knee is in front of you.
3. Slowly with control, squat (or lower) yourself on the standing leg. You will not be able to squat down very far.
4. Slowly rise back up.
Note: This is an advanced movement. If you have knee problems or pain in your knees, don't do this.
To insure that you look great, create a daily practice of positive mental imagery. Quiet your mind in the morning when you wake up and before you go to sleep. Get very focused and create a picture of how you want your body to look. The most important part of this method is to affirm that you look great right now and really embrace that concept. Keep in mind that when you are at the beach, pool or lake, people are not all that concerned with how you look (they care how THEY look). So be sure to envelop yourself with a healthy dose of self-acceptance and strut out there with everything that you've got.
