Cellulite Solutions

Cellulite is a problem that plagues many women, and while its virtually impossible to get rid of, there are some simple solutions to ease the site of cellulite.

             
Cellulite is a condition in which the skin appears to have areas with underlying fat deposits, giving it a dimpled, lumpy appearance. It is most noticeable on the butt and thighs and stomach areas. It's a problem that plagues millions of women. Even skinny women can have cellulite. It is very genetic. However, if you have cellulite, you can ease the appearance of the dimples through weight training. You see, the muscle will fill out the leg which will helps lessen the appearance of cellulite. However, you can't just lose weight to decrease the appearance of cellulite. You NEED to fill out the excess dimpled skin with muscle. So the fuller then muscle, the lesser the appearance of dimples! So another great reason to do some heavy squats and get those hammies nice and thick. Once you start getting muscle bellies in your glutes and hamstrings the dimply skin will start to decrease because you are filling it out with dense muscles mass.
 
Here's an awesome at home remedy I used before my fitness competition that I won. I seem to get cellulite, and I have excess skin from being heavy, around my abdomen area. Every night ,for about a month, I rubbed preparation H all over my stomach and then wrapped plastic wrap around it. I would wear it for a few hours. It actually made a visible difference! It basically pulled the excess water from under the skin and made the skin tighter. This isn't something I would recommend doing daily, but it's something you can try before a big event and it only costs about $5!

Gym Bag Swag

                 
I always have my Under Armour gym bag fully stocked with the essentials, but today I realized I have some really random things in there too... I thought I'd share some of the things of I have in my gym bag that I use daily and some that are there "just in case."
 
1. Vaseline... my lips get really dry when I workout
2. my iPod and headphones in my armband case... music is essential
3. Amino Acids... today I had lemonade BLOX... mmm
4. I keep a roll of toilet paper in a bag... LOL... sometimes working out makes you have to go to the bathroom, and I've been in one too many gyms that weren't stocked with toilet paper!
5. band aids for foot and hand blisters
6. I found a random spoon in there... good for mixing pre and intra workout drinks
 

                          
7. All of my workout gloves because I never know which ones I'm going to want to wear
                       
8. A sweatshirt to change into something dry for the drive home
9. A snack pack of almonds incase I get ravishingly hungry during a workout
 
10. Watermelon Bubilicious because bubble gum is an essential part of my workout
11. Rubz massage balls incase I need to workout out a knot and massage my sore muscles
12. An extra pair of socks because I hate when my socks don't stay on right
             
13. A workout towel because most gyms don't hand them out anymore

So what's in your gym bag? I'd love to hear from you! Post some comments or email me at Julbrown22@Hotmail.com
