How
to eliminate cellulite
A
healthy lifestyle and a little bit of care
By Brad Callen
We are
discussing ways to eliminate (or at least reduce) cellulite. We
discussed in the previous article about what is
cellulite and and how do you get cellulite. In the second
article we talked about important factors in
development of cellulite and about bands in women. We also discussed
why men don't get cellulite and other myths about cellulite and different types of creams and other
technologies for treating cellulite. In another article we
discuss herbal treatments, if surgery is an option, and other natural
remedies. Now we discuss a series of exercises to deal with
cellulite - we have already started off with the first of the four
hamstring exercises.
Here we discuss the rest three:

2. Lunges
- Grasp two
dumbbells and hold them at your sides
- Having
your back straight, head up, and chest out as if you were showing off.
Step forward, bend your knees, and bring your trailing knee close to the
floor. Your step should be long enough so that your back leg becomes
almost straight. Push yourself back up off your heel not your toe to the
starting position with one strong movement, bringing your feet together,
then step forward with the other foot and repeat the movement. You can
do all your repetitions with one leg, and then repeat with the other, or
you can alternate throughout the set.
3. Leg Curls
- Go to the
leg curl machine and lay face down and place your heels under the lever
mechanism. Your legs should be stretched out straight.
- Staying
flat on the machine, curl your legs up as far as possible, until the
hamstrings get a peek contraction. Release and lower the weight under
control back to the starting position. Hold on to the handles or even
the bench itself to keep you from coming up off of the bench. Leg curls
should be done through the fullest range of motion possible.
4. Standing
Leg Curls
- Stand up
to the
leg machine and place one leg behind the lever mechanism.
- Keep
yourself steady and curl the leg back toward your behind as much as
possible. Get a peak contraction at the top and then lower the weight
back to the starting position. Perform the set with one leg, and then
repeat the exercise using the other leg. Be certain to keep the movement
under control. These can be performed with
ankle weights as well. Just
use the ankle weights as the resistance and if you need more resistance,
place two ankle weights on one leg. When using ankle weights make sure
your form is extremely strict. Don't just lift the weight up and down.
Take at least 2 seconds to lift the weight and hold it at the top for a
second or two, and then lower the weight about a rate of 3 seconds.
