Using The Secret Weapon In Your Cellulite Treatment Program

The secret weapon in cellulite reduction is using the awesome power of your mind to help you to reduce the appearance of cellulite on your body. It really works if you stick with it. Visualize your body cellulite free as you do the following:

1- Cardiovascular Exercise

Cardiovascular exercise will help you to burn fat which is partly what cellulite is composed of. Aerobic activities also help to increase circulation which will help to make your cellulite prone areas look better. An effective way to do cardio is to try interval training. Interval training helps to rev up your metabolism and break past training barriers. Here's an example of how it is done. If you regularly walk on a treadmill at 4.0 mph for 30 minutes, try breaking the 30 minutes into intervals that will raise you above 4.0 mph. Check below for an example of this. Do a short warm-up for 5 minutes before you try this and cool down for 5 minutes after.

Interval 1: 3 minutes 3.8 mph, 2 minutes 4.2 mph; Interval 2: 3 minutes 3.9 mph, 2 minutes 4.3 mph; Interval 3: 3 minutes 3.8 mph, 2 minutes 4.4 mph; Interval 4: 3 minutes 3.9 mph, 2 minutes 4.2 mph; Interval 5: 2 minutes 3.9 mph, 3 minutes 4.3 mph; Interval 6: 3 minutes 4.1 mph, 2 minutes 3.8 mph

If you haven't tried this type of training before, then it will be a challenge, but even so, use your secret weapon and visualize the way you want your body to be while you do this.

2- Anaerobic Movement: The Squat

Squats are a pretty basic anti-cellulite movement because it works the muscles in your hips, buttocks and thighs, all which tend to accumulate cellulite. Start your squat with a chair in back of you and a chair in front of you for balance if you need it or have week knees. Place your feet shoulders width apart. With most of your body weight shifted onto your heels, slowly lower your body weight down until your butt almost hits the chair in back of you. Contract your backside and abdominals and then rise up. Work up to 12 repetitions and eventually do 2 sets of them.

note: Stop if you feel any pain while doing this. Breath out while you lower your body and breath in while you rise up.

Please use the power of your mind and visualize your hips and buttocks cellulite free mid-exercise. It's also helpful to use the power of visualization as you fall asleep. Close your eyes and focus on the point on your forehead right above the bridge of your nose. This is the focus point that yogis use.
