The Truth About Cellulite

Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.

Cellulite reduction is one thing most women have in the back of their mind. For cellulite is truly an insidious beast robbing of us of our confidence and self esteem as it steadily takes hold of our once smooth, tight and sexy lower bodies.

But the harder you search for a cure or even an approach to halt the development of the orange peel monster, the more confusing it gets.

You see Cellulite really is a strange foe, elusive because it’s not really a medical condition, a natural skin condition that is a description rather than an object, it only got its name in the 1920’s and earliest reference in Vogue magazine in the 1960’s (reference Wikipedia).

However cellulite has been cultivated and turned into a billion dollar industry, with women the world over devoting huge amounts of their money, time, and emotional energy to its destruction.

Massive amounts of marketing money has been spent teaching us that pills, diets, creams, clothing, massage, and surgical treatments are the way to put cellulite to the sword once and for all.

And yet it continues…

So what is the one thing you must understand to be able to reduce your cellulite?

Cellulite is NOT a skin or fat issue…

It’s why treatments aimed at your skin or fat cells WILL NEVER WORK; and as demonstrated beautifully the world over by ‘skinny’ women with cellulite.

Cellulite is not a skin or fat issue it’s a muscle fiber issue.

When the muscles of our lower bodies, typically around the abdomen, hips, butt, thighs and legs loose condition they become saggy and fail to deliver the support required to keep the skin above tight and firm.

This in turn leads to the skin becoming dimply and lumpy… the description we’ve termed ‘cellulite’.

The answer to reducing cellulite is to re-condition the muscles of your lower body… period.

This is why you can also see some larger ladies without cellulite, if their muscles are toned and supporting their skin and fat cells properly the dimples disappear.

As an aside from the above an interesting article by Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD confirms that there is little if no proof of any significant improvement in the appearance of cellulite from using the majority of cellulite treatments, even the FDA approved ones seem to use smoke and mirrors to suggest better performance than reality…

Melissa even say’s this about Liposuction… “Liposuction is also not a recommended treatment. This technique of extracting fat by vacuuming it from under the skin is not effective for cellulite. In fact, liposuction may worsen the appearance of the skin by sucking out the cushion of fat that resides just under the skin. The result is additional dimpling of the skin.”

In summary suggesting…”In summary, eating a healthy diet and keeping muscles toned by regular exercise seem like reasonable approaches to keeping the body as taut and smooth as it can be.” …Go here to read the original article

Cellulite Reduction – There’s More Good News

So armed with the above facts getting rid of cellulite becomes a question of…

What are the most effective exercises to tone the muscles of my lower body?

Or

What exercises would reverse the effects of muscular atrophy in the lower body?

Muscular atrophy is a real medical condition, and many people recovering from injury have to carefully rebuild the condition and performance of muscle groups that may have been affected.

The type of exercises we are looking for are called ‘synergistic muscle layer stimulation’. These are exercises that stimulate a number of muscle groups at the same time while undertaking natural body movements to a recommended form and tempo.

These exercises require no equipment or weights; they are suitable for all, as the intensity of the exercise depends on the range of movement you make. In the case of muscular recovery they are designed to allow progression from a much weakened start point, so for our purposes of cellulite reduction, you simply move as far as you comfortably can, as you will be able to increase your range of movement as you progress.

I also mentioned tempo, these exercises should be performed very slowly. By moving slowly you really engage the muscles, rather than rely on a short burst and momentum to do the work.

So What Are Symulast Exercises And How Do They Reduce Cellulite?

At this point enter Joey Atlas; Joey is a ladies body enhancement coach (sounds posh) a personal trainer who has worked with celebrities and clients the world over to get them, and keep them in shape.

He has two degrees in exercise physiology, and I guess you could say has spent over 23 years fighting cellulite.

Symulast is a word Joey made up by taking the first two letters from synergistic muscle layer stimulation, using ‘The Symulast Method’ as the basis for describing his super successful ‘Naked Beauty’ cellulite reduction program.

To read a detailed review of Naked Beauty – The Symulast Method follow this link.

In summary Joey has created a simple program of synergistic muscle layer stimulation (Symulast) exercises that if done for 20 minutes 3 times per week, Joey guarantees will deliver you VISIBLE results within 28 days (You actually have a 60 day full money back guarantee).

This program is the top selling cellulite reduction program on the planet.

I think its success is down to the effectiveness of the exercises (obviously), the sequence of the exercises, and scheduling that comes with it… and Joey himself.

Personally Joey reminds me of a favorite teacher at school (a super fit one ), he is clearly a great coach, and seems to posses that ‘x’ factor which connects with people, and enables them to stay the course and see the benefits.
