Here’s a Quick Way to Get Rid of Cellulite…..
After all, no one wants a slow way to get rid of cellulite like the methods outlined in a recent news report which says we have to exercise 60 minutes a day 7 days per week. This report sited a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association in which they surveyed 34,000 U.S. women (average age 54) and then followed their weight, physical activity and health factors for the next 13 years. The intent of the study was to determine what level of physical activity was required to prevent weight gain over time. Make a note however, that they in NO way monitored or made any suggestions for the subjects nutrition. Which I feel is a HUGE piece of the Fat Loss puzzle.In my opinion this report is a BIG disservice and another fine example of the mainstream media spinning facts out of control to instill anxiety, fear and discontentment. These recommendations are CRAZY! They’re three times higher than those suggested by the Federal Government (150 min./week) to lower the risk of disease and chronic ailments. Think about it, we have a hard enough time wrapping our arms around the whole issue of health, wellness and fat loss. The last thing we need is another reason to stay on the couch. Seriously, does hearing that you have to exercise an hour a day seven days a week get you motivated? I think NOT!
Despite all of this discouraging buzz, I have some great news for you. You DON’T have to exercise an hour a day, seven days a week to get rid of Cellulite and I’ve got the program and the studies to back it up. Even though this topic is debated like crazy, the truth is that interval type training is far more effective and efficient for fat loss than long, boring, steady state low intensity exercise. Solid proof is in results and the studies that are listed at the end of the post.
Here’s an example of the type of workout (which is found in the cellulite circuits program) that you can do in a time efficient manner in the comfort of your own home. You don’t have to spend extra time schlepping off to the gym. Just a few minutes of blood pumping fun in your living room will get your metabolism moving to melt away those lumps and bumps on your belly, butt and thighs. Promise.

All you need for this workout is your body, something firm to sit on like a chair and a timer, stop- watch, clock or watch with a second hand. Be sure you do the warm up circuit at least once to get your body ready for the workout and prevent injury. Then after warming up do each exercise in a circuit fashion for 30 seconds in order 1-6 without rest. After completing circuit rest 1 minute then repeat 1-2 more times.
