Cellulite is a frustrating condition, affecting millions of women every day. Cellulite is a cosmetic condition affecting almost all women to some degree. It is a condition that makes your skin appear dimpled and bumpy. It’s caused by structural changes of your connective tissues and fat cells lying just below the epidermis. Hormones, gender, lifestyle and inflammation are all possible keys to its formation. Let's go through a little scenario: You’ve been planning your vacation for months. You’ve bought the plane tickets, booked the hotels, bought new clothes and are ready to get to the beach. Your leaving next month so you head to the nearest fashion outlet to try on some brand-new swimsuits. But lo and behold, you notice something on the back of your legs that you would rather avoid showing off along the seashore, cellulite. You have no idea how to get rid of cellulite. You freak out. Where did these dimples on my bum cheek come from? How can I walk around all day in a swimsuit? You realize there is only one option. Cover it up with a long hanging garment. You scour the store looking for something that could remotely work. Nothing seems to fit or match. How can I get rid of cellulite quickly? Are there other options? How can I get rid of cellulite once I have it? How can I get rid of cellulite on my arms, bum, thighs, and stomach? Luckily, I have just the fix, and hopefully 2 weeks is enough time to see results before you head off on that long-awaited vacation. If you want to get rid of cellulite on your thighs and bum fast, you need to incorporate an exercise, diet and massage plan into your daily routine. With only 2 weeks to get rid of your cellulite on your thighs and bum, we need to get you moving, eating right, and massage out those aesthetically unpleasing dimples. Now that we know what it is, how do we get rid of cellulite quickly? Try these 5 steps if you want to learn: How to Get Rid of Cellulite on Thighs and Bum Fast Step 1: Diet to Get Rid of Cellulite As more fat accumulates in your body, fat cells can become very large and push outward on your connective tissue under the skin. Our goal is going to be to cut out some of this excess fat and reduce the push that it is applying to the connective tissue. One study found losing weight helped reduce the severity of cellulite. In that case, you need to look hard at your diet to help you cut calories and lose a little bit of that fat before your vacation. Remember, a pound of fat is equal to about 3500 calories. You need to create a caloric deficit from how many calories your body is taking in to how many you’re burning throughout the day. The average person burns about 1600-2000 calories a day on average. You need to start consuming less calories than that to lose weight. If you pair your diet with exercise, you can create major caloric deficits. Focus on getting a good intake of super foods like in my article: 15 Super Healthy Superfoods. Low calories and high nutrient content make these foods top of the line for weight loss. Step 2: Cellulite Exercises for Bum and Thighs Exercise in this case will work two-fold. You can burn calories to help you shed fat, and you can tighten up your muscles in the area of the cellulite to not only tone you up but reduce the push out on your connective tissue. Try full body exercises to get the most bang for your buck. Pair that with an intense cardio workout and you’ll be dropping pounds in no time. Use the elliptical, swim, jog, or mix in some H.I.I.T. (High Intensity Interval Training) into your plan to scorch those calories. Check out my article: The Best 8 Minute Fat Burning HIIT Workout at Home + 7 Bonus Tips for a great fat burning workout. Step 3: Try an Anti-Cellulite Massage One remedy is to start massaging out the area. One study showed that massage may reduce the appearance of cellulite by improving the lymphatic drainage in the area. It may also help stretch the connective tissue and reduce the appearance of the dimples. Massage creams may also assist in reducing spot appearance. This can be done at home using a foam roller or with the help of a professional. The great thing about foam rolling is you can do it anytime and anywhere. This is going to save you a lot of money over time and will allow you to do it more often. Check out my article: 8 Massage, Compression and Recovery Devices for Sore Muscles and Joint Pain for some great massage device options. One cellulite massage oil I like is the M3 Naturals Anti Cellulite Massage Oil. This massage oil firms, tightens, tones, regenerates, moisturizes, and targets unwanted fat tissues. Pair this with a massage device and increase the effects of the massage. Check on Amazon Step 4: Hydrate Your body is 60% water. Allow your body to metabolize the fat by keeping hydrated. Drink water to avoid toxic buildup associated with dehydration. Your skin will look smoother and healthier if it is hydrated. If it looks frail and thin, the cellulite will tend to show through the epidermis. Step 5: Try Acoustic Wave Therapy, Laser Therapy or Radio Frequency Treatments as a Cellulite Treatement If all else fails, it might be time to pull out some more invasive treatment. Acoustic wave therapy, laser therapy, and radio frequency treatments are all possible solutions to cellulite if you are still having trouble. Laser therapy seems to be the best of the three. One study shows that invasive laser therapy helps improve the appearance of cellulite by melting fat cells and connective tissue. This may also help rejuvenate the skin, increasing collagen production and tightening the skin. Find the nearest treatment facility and give it a shot. Results will vary from person to person. Summary: How to Get Rid of Cellulite on Thighs and Bum (Fast) The appearance of cellulite can be unfortunate but with a little extra work, you can reduce the effects of cellulite on the thighs and bum. Cellulite is more prevalent in women due to the organizational structures of connective tissue in the body. Knowing this bit of information, I hope this can act as one of the reasons to get rid of cellulite and lead a healthier lifestyle. If you give exercise, a healthy diet, and massage a try, you may be able to greatly lessen the appearance of cellulite, and maybe in 2 weeks. Do you suffer from the appearance of cellulite?
