"Ask any woman on the street what the definition of "cellulite" is and you'll get a confused variety of answers. From “toxic fat pockets caught in the skin” to “bands of fiber pulling down on the skin” and many odd things in between…"

Cellulite Gone – Bikini On

The truth is: most people really don’t know what “cellulite” actually is, or, what causes this odd appearance of the lower body trouble zones…"

This is no surprise as there actually is no such thing as ‘cellulite’… So how do we get rid of something which doesn’t exist?"

Here’s the answer:
"The word, “cellulite”, was cleverly made-up several decades ago, in a European beauty-spa, to DESCRIBE the bumpy, shadowy and dimpled appearance of skin in the lower body trouble zones of the female body. (butt, hips, thighs, legs)"
The beauty spas then started cashing-in and profiting big-time by marketing "beauty" services and products to get rid of "cellulite". And if you're like most women who've been challenged by this issue, then you probably already know all of those passive and superficial beauty treatments do not get rid of the dented shadows and mushy dimples on your buns, legs and thighs."

In order to make your lower-body smooth, tight and attractive, there are 5 steps to follow.

Here they are:

5 Critical Keys to KILL Your Cellulite

1: You cannot get rid of the dimples and shadows (cellulite) by rubbing an odd gel, weird lotion or goopy cream on your trouble zones and problem spots.
So, stop using them – as some can actually make your cellulite worse.
Despite the fact that there are dozens of supposed ‘cellulite reduction creams’ on the market, there is no possible way for any one of them, no matter how expensive, to get rid of your cellulite. Cellulite is not a skin problem. Its an underlying structural issue, that can only be corrected by reversing the cause of atrophied muscle fibers directly beneath your “cellulite” trouble spots."
Since the squishy dimples and shadows are a superficial symptom of a problem below the surface; it’s impossible for the creams, lotions or gels to have any physiological impact on the cause of the issue…"

2: Risky and expensive ‘medi-spa treatments’ can only reduce your bank account – not your cellulite problems. And there are many consumer reports about women being seriously scarred or injured as well.
Stay away from these as the FDA reports show women who’ve been scarred or injured for life.
Painful, dangerous and uncomfortable services ranging from endermologie to body-wrapping have been proven to be totally ineffective when it comes to treating cellulite. However, advertising and marketing loopholes allow these services to be cleverly marketed to desperate women who are at wits end with the unattractive dimples and shadows on the lower-body problem areas."

3: The unattractive dimples, shadows and saggy ripples known as cellulite are not ‘genetic’ and you are NOT stuck with them forever if you have them.
Falsely believing this will prevent you from getting rid of your cellulite. So, don’t entertain this nonsense for 1 second.
These two ridiculous myths are often passed around by ‘neighborhood know-it-alls’ – and many women actually believe these 2 myths – especially if they haven’t found the right way to get rid of the cellulite. Whats even more alarming are the number of doctors who also believe in and foster these 2 demoralizing falsehoods.
Yes – it is common to see a mother and daughter, both with the lower-body "orange peel" look, BUT this doesn't mean cellulite is genetic – it simply means both women have not found a way to lift, tone and firm the muscle layers under the dimpled, saggy skin."

4: You can get rid of cellulite, regardless of your age – or when you began to notice it."
Since cellulite is a structural issue (muscle) – it can be fixed with simple and unique body movements which target the cellulite areas."
These types of moves can be followed by any woman, regardless of her age or fitness level. And it doesn’t matter if the cellulite started in the early teen years – or after pregnancy – or after menopause – it’s still a structural issue that results from soft, un-toned muscles underneath the saggy, dimpled, shadowy skin."

5: The only proven way to permanently get rid of the dimples and shadows of cellulite is through a series of simple, yet specifically targeted lower-body movements"
These unique movements focus on lifting, shaping and toning the muscle layers so they gently push outward against the skin – to bring back the smooth, tight and sexy appearance, while burning off any excess flab, if there is any."
This is how regular women reverse the cause of cellulite dimples and shadows… AND, if there happens to be any excess fat in those zones – it will be burned off as fuel by the muscles. This bonus of losing any unhealthy excess body-fat is nice because it reveals a great body and it works wonders for your health profile."BUT you won’t learn about these unique slow-tempo movements in the gym or your local health club."

These body movements are NOT done with typical weights and machine type exercises." "Most regular fitness instructors don’t even know about this type of targeted cellulite-killing method. (click to watch video)
"
These muscle-stimulating movements can be done right at home, in total privacy."

– The female lower-body has over 90 muscles…"

Picture those 90 muscles BENEATH your skin’s surface in your legs, butt, hips and thigh zones. That’s where the magic happens in regards to true removal of mushy dimples and saggy shadows in the trouble spots and problem areas…
Despite what most women have been led to believe, there is a critical difference between a ‘general workout program’ – and a laser-focused, cellulite removal method. The sweetest benefit of this is; you don’t need access to a health club or fitness center." …"Just click PLAY on this video by Joey Atlas, (M.S., Ex.Phys.) and get it started now:" (it opens in a bigger screen so you don’t miss a thing)
These are simple, unique moves you can start doing today, right in the privacy of your own home. And if you start this type of targeted muscle stimulation method today – you will start feeling results within 2 weeks and seeing results within 3 to 4 weeks."

How to Prevent Cellulite From Happening to You!

One day, you notice cellulite on your thighs and butt. You freak out and decide that you will immediately get rid of this nasty thing. Flicking through beauty magazines you decide to go to your local beauty shop and buy cellulite reduction cream. You don't mind paying as the cream promises visible results in just a week and permanent reduction in just a month. You're applying cream every morning and night and after few weeks your skin becomes smoother. You are proud of yourself, happy and satisfied and very thankful for that cream.

Few months pass and cellulite is back. This time it's even more visible. What happened? Naturally, you opted out for 'fast and effortless solution' without asking yourself what is cellulite.

Cellulite is like a computer, you can't fix it unless you know its structure and how it works. A cellulite reduction starts with knowledge and understanding of where it comes from and an acknowledgment that it will not go away over the night. Then it takes a lot of will and dedication for results to be possible.

But don't get discouraged. Elimination is possible. If you adjust just few lifestyle habits, eat healthy and do correct exercises, you will soon found out that you too can also have smooth and dimples free thighs and butt.

There are many aspects to achieve cellulite reduction. But first thing first -

What is cellulite?

The misrepresentation is quite common. One of the most popular ones is that cellulite is composed of trapped toxins and excess water underneath the skin or that cellulite is just plain fat. The truth is cellulite is a condition that affects the appearance of the skin in areas with underlying fat deposits giving the skin a dimpled, lumpy appearance, orange peel skin as we like to call it. Cellulite is not just fat but a combination of fat combined with predominantly female underlying connective tissue in which this fat is trapped.

Human skin has three layers. The deepest, where fat gets deposited, is called hypodermis. This is layer consists of fibrous connective tissue that is responsible for connecting the skin to the muscle beneath it.

Connective tissue is arranged differently in men and women and this is the reason why cellulite is predominantly female annoyance. In most men, this connective tissue is arranged in a cross-hatched or diagonal manner, in a smooth and continuous pattern. Connective tissue of women runs vertically, creating fibrous bands which tie the skin to the underlying tissue at certain points. Essentially, this creates discrete "fat chambers" to push up on the skin while the bands pull the skin downward. When these chambers are field with lots of fat they press the upper layers of skin and this gives skin a dimpled look, called cellulite.

Increased quantity of fat tissue in fibrous bands does not only press on upper layers of skin but it causes other problems as well. It presses on blood and lymph vessels, which decreases blood and lymphatic flow through infected areas. As a consequence ones metabolism slows down and that increases storage of fat. In the final stages of cellulite development, the retention of fluids causes swellings, which causes tissue transformation and tissue becomes hard. Because of this it is very important to act sooner rather than later; before the final stage occurs.

With the cellulite visibility worsening the percentage of success in eliminating cellulite also decreases. In circumstances where a woman is healthy with cellulite in early stages, the limitation of cellulite is 100% successful, if a person adheres to the right eating and exercising plan. The good news is that unsuccessful attempts are solely the consequence of wrong way of dealing with the problem.

Another negative aspect of cellulite is aging. Production of collagen in skin decreases with aging. This makes skin less elastic and loose, making cellulite even more visible, especially if a woman does not give proper attention to the problem or if she 'attacks' it from the wrong angle with wrong information.

Critical areas of cellulite 

Yes, you guessed it - The highest number of fat cells in female body is on thighs and buttocks; hence the highest percent of women has most noticeable cellulite on thighs and buttocks.

Is there a solution?

Now that you know what you are dealing with, let's see if there is a solution. You learned that cellulite is linked to two major factors; quantity of fat tissue in hypodermis and specific characteristics of connective tissue (the thickness and how it is arranged).

Another mayor player is muscles. Sufficient muscle firms tissue and skin which highly improves the appearance of critical areas, not to mention the shape and appearance of the whole body.

While you can't do anything about arrangement of your connective tissue, you can most definitely influence the percentage of fat in your body as well as you muscle weight. A healthy diet and correct exercise is a key to cellulite reduction. Without one or the other the results will not come. Forget about creams, lasers and other gimmicks and attack cellulite the right way. Stay tuned for practical tips on how to do that.
