Someone has a magnificent chest and a thin waist, someone got slender legs by nature and not a flat tummy at all - all women are different. But all are united by the desire to have an elastic body, smooth skin and embossed shapes. All sorts of cosmetic products available to combat cellulite are available to a modern woman. But do they really help? And what should you do with your body in order to look perfect? This remains to be understood in this article.
What is cellulite?
The main enemy of the beauty of the fair sex is old age. Its manifestations are not only wrinkles, but also a loss of skin elasticity. And since there is a fat layer under the epidermis that resembles a set of jelly-like round bodies, the thinner the skin, the higher the likelihood of the appearance of the infamous orange peel. That is, visible bumps on the buttocks, abdomen, arms, popularly referred to as cellulite, is the outline of adipose tissue due to age-related decrease in skin thickness.
The second reason for the occurrence of this phenomenon, which negatively affects the elastic body, is the effect of estrogen. It is these hormones that prevail in the female body that block the instant breakdown of fat. Here is an explanation of why cellulite predominantly attacks the buttocks of the fair sex. But this does not mean that nature made life easier for men. Due to the development of obesity in the abdominal cavity, they have a higher risk of death than women with magnificent buttocks.
Muscle in the fight against fat
A firm and toned body can only be achieved through exercise. No creams for weight loss, massages, ill-fated tablets, diets will not build embossed forms. Round buttocks, a flat tummy, posture, pumped up arms and well-being are the result of regular physical exertion.
Muscles make many contractions daily. Thanks to their work, a person moves, breathes, blinks. Muscles require 10% of all body fat for these vital actions. And where to send the remaining 90%? The answer is obvious: on the forced work of muscle tissue, namely, on physical exercises. During strength, aerobic exercises and with proper nutrition, subcutaneous fat is burned, which interferes with making the elastic body.
Wraps - true or myth?
Beauty salons offer a chocolate, algae wrap, emphasizing the crazy effect of the procedure, which eliminates the orange peel. But if you consider this process from a scientific point of view, then, it turns out, the declared anti-cellulite session - this is another money luring.
The fact is that the throughput of the skin is negligible. The epidermis is not the intestines or the stomach. If the skin could deliver any substances to the body, then a person would get drunk from wet knees with alcohol. However, this is not so.
Undoubtedly, after wrapping there is a feeling of tightened skin. The nutrients of kelp or cocoa butter fill the small wrinkles on the epidermis, from here comes the sensation of an elastic body. Since the aroma of a sweet treat relieves fatigue and irritation, for the experiment you can conduct a chocolate wrap at home.
How to make the body supple and fit?
The wraps were invented by the lazy, those who did not want to exercise. Perhaps they are effective in preventive measures as a way to maintain skin elasticity. But if lipodystrophy (cellulitis) has already attacked problem areas, then only proper nutrition and sports will help to achieve a result.
Active individuals will do group workouts. But what do busy women do? How to make the body supple? In this case, determination should help. Running every other day is a great way to remove extra centimeters. In the early days, 10-15 minutes of jogging with walking breaks are enough. When the muscles get stronger, you should increase the time of occupation.
Skipping rope is a cheap and effective home exercise machine. After half an hour of jumping, 500 kcal is burned on it. As with running, while working with the rope, the muscles of the back, legs, arms and abdomen are involved.
Daily regime
An eight-hour dream for an adult is not a whim of doctors, but a guarantee of a healthy state. Lack of sleep leads to metabolic disorders, which is the cause of excess weight. A study was conducted in which people who slept less than 8 hours a day for three weeks, at the end of the experiment recovered due to short-term metabolism. They observed a strong weakening of sensitivity to insulin and a decrease in the level of the hormone leptin. Their beautiful elastic bodies are overgrown with excess kilograms.
Therefore, deciding to achieve a beautiful figure, you should take care of a healthy and wholesome rest at night.
Water
The famous nutritionist, who helped hundreds of people to acquire the treasured forms, Svetlana Fus, spoke about the benefits of water in the process of losing weight. And she proved it not only in words, but in deeds. Participants in the experiment, not giving up gastronomic habits, lost 3-4% in two weeks.
The fact is that the causes of excess weight are: slow metabolism, stress seizing and overeating desserts after the main meal. It turned out:
- If you drink 2 glasses of water on an empty stomach, then the metabolic processes in the body are accelerated.
- Drinking water 30 minutes after eating reduces the desire to eat an extra dessert.
- Mineral water with magnesium fights against a false feeling of hunger (during stressful situations). Magnesium inhibits central nervous system irritation. However, regular use of such water requires consultation with a doctor.
Strength exercises
A resilient body cannot be achieved only when performing cardio loads, such as jumping and running. Relief to the muscles gives weight during sports. Simple exercises that can tighten the gluteal muscles are squats. For novice athletes, it is better to grind their performance technique in the gym under the supervision of a trainer.
But you can try to do squats at home. Weighting take 1-2 kg. Arms shoulder-width apart, back straight. You should sit down in parallel with the floor, you need to get up slowly, focusing on the heels, while squeezing the buttocks. The number of approaches is 3-4 with 15-20 repetitions.
In breaks between sets should be squeezed out 5-10 times. To strengthen the muscles of the whole body after the above exercises, it is advisable to hold the bar for a minute, while controlling the back, which should not be bent.
