Bust your cellulite with exercise.

Any kind of exercise, whether walking, swimming, cycling or gym-oriented aerobics can help bust cellulite, and provides additional benefits to the general skin tone.
This is brought about by the improvement in circulation, which helps the process of providing vital nutrients to the skin, and the removal of harmful toxins, which will aid an improvement in the appearance of cellulite.

When circulation improves, it gives better conditions for the body to produce elastin and collagen, two natural proteins that provide the connective tissue that binds our skin to the muscular layers beneath, maintaining its elasticity, reducing the appearance of cellulite around the buttocks, thighs and stomach areas. Exercise is also a splendid stress-buster, preventing the production of male-type hormones that damage the skin, and worsen cellulite.

The stretching and tensioning of muscles that you seldom use will have a beneficial effect on cellulite in all areas, due to the application of movement in opposition to the cause of the cellulite effects. Perspiration, which is generated during exercise, is the bodies way of cooling and cleansing, helping to remove the toxic effect of our environment, by way of pollution, the effects of smoking, and much of the petro-chemical laced grooming aids we women use on our skins.

Always hydrate, before, during and after exercise to replace moisture lost by perspiration, and also to "plump up" your skin cells. To promote that "after-glow", massage all affected areas with a base oil such as coconut, olive or almond, adding a few drops of your favourite essential oil, such as patchouli or frankincense, for an added feel good factor.

I have found these techniques to be a great help in reducing cellulite and it is not really that hard to do when you get into the habit. However, in my quest to improve my fitness and beat the flab, I am always on the lookout for better ways to shape up. I have joined up with some friends to meet the challenge to get in better shape, so will share our successes and failures as time goes by.

We have got together to try out this product here: http://bit.ly/9fsqKH So far, we are having noticeable results and are getting quite excited about it.

I will keep you posted.
