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!

Always Learning

 
One of the most important things to look for in a personal trainer and nutritionist is that they are passionate about health and fitness. They should constantly be updating their knowledge of this everchanging industry. I (Juliane) challenge myself daily to read, for at least an hour a day, articles and books related to health and fitness. I keep reading until I learn something new. I've always been a little nerdy that way, but I love learning! I also think "hands on" training is extremely important. In addition to the continuing education classes I take to keep my personal training and nutrition certifications up to date, I go to a lot of clinics and seminars. Sure, it costs money, but I prefer to spend my money on learning because it's an investment that lasts forever.
 
Today, I bought Jessica and myself tickets to learn from one of my idols.... Dana Linn Bailey. She and her husband, Rob Bailey, are icon's in the bodybuilding industry. DLB is competing in the first ever Olympia Women's Physique Competition at the Olympia this weekend, and has really set the standards for that category. I am so excited to go to this seminar at her new gym and challenge myself with her lifting techniques.
 
 
My main point of this blog is that you should always be learning and continuing your education for what you are passionate about. If your personal trainer hasn't taken a class in years, or doesn't bother reading health articles, then they probably aren't passionate about their job. I LOVE health and fitness and that's why I made it my career. If you are going to this gym camp let me know so we can meet up! Jessica and I will both be there getting our pump on!
