Exercise is key to any cellulite action plan.
Why? Because when you move your lymph – the body’s natural waste disposal network – moves; when you are stationary it gets sluggish and that’s how excess fluid builds up in the body.
So make yourself a promise now: that you will – somehow – take a minimum 8000 steps (and ideally 10000) daily.
This can be challenging to fit into your day. The best ways to do it are to walk everywhere – up the stairs (never the elevator), round the park with the dog (twice), to work or walk a few bus stops, jump on a treadmill at lunch time or in the evening, or join an exercise class.
Aerobic activity – the treadmill, a spinning class, running or swimming – will all benefit your lymph, your contours and skin tone. Low impact exercise like yoga, Pilates or barre core work are also extremely helpful as activities that target cellulite-prone areas like thighs, hips and buttocks.
