Cellulite Exercise At Home

July 21st, 2008 in All possible ways, Cellulite Exercise |

Most people like to go to the gym to exercise. Some exercise at home or never do sports. The good thing about cellulite exercises is that they can be done at the comfort of your home, while also saving your time and money.

There is not much needed to get started - just the right outfit, some space and equipment which all together will not cost you more than a gym membership. Of course, working on cellulite at home you will not get some types of exercises, like cardiovascular, but there are still many ways to increase metabolism while also saving time and money. You can still do running, walking, jogging, swimming or biking.

What you need

For exercising at home, you need these four things to have around:

a Yoga Mat - this is not absolutely necessary if you want to stay on budget, you can use a soft carpet. But a yoga mat is a really comfortable thing to have if you plan to exercise each or every other day - and you really should.

a Weighted Jumping Rope - jumping is extremely good for cellulite! You get 2 in 1: you exercise and strenghten your leg muscles, while also moving your skin and massageing it! Jumping works pretty similar to trampoline exercise - and you need less space, which is relevant when you exercise at home. Weighted jumping rope is especially effective since you can adjust the weight you need everytime.

a Body Ball for bending ant other exercises, especially good for thighs and stomach. Ball exercises also challenge your body stabilization and improve balance.

Hand Weights - 5 pound weights are perfect. These will tone your arms and they will really start looking better in a few weeks or so.

Exercises

You will acieve the best results if exercising every day. But let`s assume you can only exercise 4 days a week.

Then each workout should last for 45 minutes:

Jumping with a rope: keep jumping for 10 minutes, turn on the music if you like - this is a very good start!

Exercise with hand weights (with arms outstreched):

- while standing, get your arms up and down 10 times slowly;

- then raise them up and down sideways - 10 times slowly;

- bend forward with your back and raise your hands backwards for 10 times slowly;

- lay down on the mat, put your hands outstreched sideways, get them up and down slowly for 10 times.

Stomach bending exercises lying on a ball, legs down - 10 minutes;

Leg exercises with a ball - put the ball between the wall and your back, legs bended to 90 degrees, do stand-ups (135 degrees) and downs (45 degrees) - 10 minutes;

Stability exercise on the ball: sit on the ball, legs bended to 90 degrees. Start walking forward while straightening your back, until the shoulders and head touch the ball. Do not arch your back or release your muscles - they have to be contracted. Walk back to sitting position. Repeat for 5 times, or 10 if you feel comfortable..

By sticking to this or similar exercise routine you will definitely shrink your cellulite in a few weeks! If you feel like the same exercises get boring, and just want to choose one for a day, the best one would be jumping with a rope - because, as said before, it not only works like an exercise, but also as massage for your skin, especially if jumped quickly. Just keep your legs, stomach and buttocks shaking!
