how to lose celulite

I’ve always been active since I was little my mom was an active woman. As I got older and pregnant my body didn’t quite look the same anymore. It wasn’t to bad it just didn’t look the way I wanted it to look. I started working out and I got back in shape. I’m a full figure woman, but just because I am does not mean I can not look good and be in good shape. My main problem when it came to getting in shape was trying to shape up my thighs. I lost weight and I was firming up all over my body except for my thighs. With a lot of hard work I finally found a solution to getting those tight and smooth eye catching thighs.

Squats are one of the best ways to getting those firm legs. It also helps tighten the muscles in your buttocks, start off with about 25 squats a day. Stand with your feet shoulder length apart looking straight ahead arms on your hips. Push yourself down with your butt almost touching the floor while holding in your stomach. This is a good way to work those abs. If you can’t go that far go down as far as you comfortably can. Raise up slowly and release your abs, then exhale slowly. You can rest after 12 reps and finish the rest if you can not do the whole 25 at one time. I’ve worked my self up to doing 50 of them, try to do this three-fives times a week.

Lounges are my favorite they work your legs, butt and hips. Stand with your feet shoulder length apart looking straight ahead. Step with the right leg in front of you and the left in the back. Slowly bend the right leg forward, inhale going down and exhale coming up. Raise up and put the right leg back in it’s position with the legs shoulder length apart. Put the left leg in front of you and bend down with the left leg. Raise back up with the left leg in the position it was in before, shoulder length apart. Repeat this position until you’ve done 25 of them, if you can’t do 25 then do how many you can and work your way up. When doing this position make sure your balance is right, you can hurt your knee or ankle if you do it wrong. Add 5lb weights to advance it. Do arm curls as you go down, do as many as your body let you do. Don’t over do it, try to do this about three- five times a week.try to run about 10-20 minutes a day if you’re a outdoor person. Work your way up until you can jog for about 30 minutes to an hour a day, for three or five times a week. Make sure you have good running shoes it is very important when it comes to being comfortable and supporting your legs.

Elliptical or Treadmill ride for about 20-30 minutes a day for at least three-five days a week. Start off slow, you do not want to do too much at one time. Just gradually work yourself up to an hour if you want doing 30 minutes is fine.

Jogging

This is what worked for me and is still working for me. You can figure out what days you want to do which exercises or combine them in a week’s time, whatever works for you. I’m looking good and you can too. Also watch out for what you eat, try eating foods with more water for fullness. Eat more fiber and less fat and cholesterol. Make sure you do not lack in nutrition it is very important in maintaining good health and energy.

1 Dietary Balance and reading labels: watch what you eat, and expend more energy than you consume. It’s really that simple. This involves some calculation. Eat less and eat at least five meals a day. Your actual caloric requirement can differ depending on your height, weight, activity level and your body’s metabolic rate.

2 Identify your exercise. No exercise was created equal. You might like running, so run. You might like jogging, so jog. You might like stationary bikes, so bike stationary. Find the one that works best for you. Don’t pick a routine that you don’t like and won’t stick with it for long.

3 Try yoga. Yoga is one of the best ways of losing weight. Of course I can’t go into a full lecture about yoga over here but I can tell you that I have never seen people with better-toned bodies than those who practice yoga. One of the benefits of yoga is that you learn to control virtually every muscle and joint of your body so that the issue of weight gain will cease to exist.

4 Photos and Joining online support group : Take before and after photos. There’s no easier way to illustrate your progress. It’s essential that you not feel alone, and reaching out to friends helps as they know things that you couldn’t possibly know, and they’ve probably been “in your shoes” at some point in the past (or present). Share stories, laughter, tears, successes, and failures. There are thousands of communities out there, so keep looking until you find one that fits you.

5 Water you waiting for If you’re not drinking enough water, your body will let you know. Thirst is an amazing sensation – quench it. If you’re not hydrated, your body won’t be working at peak levels. If you’re worried about “water weight,” remember that you’re likely to retain more water when you’re not giving your body enough of it in the first place. I’m not going to dictate how many glasses you should drink, though – as that’s going to vary from person to person.

6 Zone out. There’s a reason why people exercise to their favorite music – listening to external stimulus takes your mind off of the physical activity making “exercise time” fly or situate yourself in front of TV or video games involving exercises.

8 Sleep it off. To be an efficient fat-burning machine, If you think that you’re doing yourself a favor by sleeping less, you’re mistaken. Give your body time to rest itself, both mentally and physically. Sleep is very, very important.

9 Keep a food diary. All you have to do is jot down what, when, and how much you eat in a notebook, or you can do it online at a Web site . A food diary gives a clear picture of your current eating habits so you can identify the changes you need to make to lose weight.
