@fiftyfitnessjourney: It’s time we normalize cellulite Every Woman has it! The degree to which it’s visible has a lot to do with age, genetics and lifestyle. Athletes Bodybuilding Competitors Models They all have it I am constantly asked about how I got rid of my cellulite and the truth is…I haven’t But the appearance of cellulite on my body has improved a lot over the past 4.5 years. When I’m really lean, the appearance is less. But, if I gain even 5lbs, it’s much more noticeable And you know what, that is ok! I’m 54. I accept that my body will never look like I’m 24 again. Acceptance is an important part of the journey of aging ❤️ Having said that, there are things I’ve done that has helped me reduce the appearance of cellulite: • Fat loss. I’ve lost over 50lbs and when you lose fat, the look of cellulite improves tremendously • Weight training! Lifting heavy weights and using progressive overload to increase my lean muscle mass has filled out my legs in particular which has dramatically improved the appearance of cellulite • Daily Collagen supplementation. As we age, skin elasticity and collagen decreases. Supplementing with collagen, I believe, has improved my skin texture (the collagen I use is in my profile) • Hydration. Don’t discount this one. Drinking enough water to keep your skin looking more plump definitely helps. • Nutrition. Focusing on nutrient dense foods and avoiding larger quantities of highly processed foods can help with inflammation and skin appearance. • Dry Brushing. Although I have yet to do this consistently, I’ve started doing it on a more regular basis. It helps improve circulation and lymphatic drainage which can lead to the appearance of cellulite • A great moisturizer and a tan! Both of these go a long way. At the end of the day, we are all beautifully unique. And the degree to which anything works will have to do with your own unique genetics and make up. The most important thing is to love ourselves along the way. Cellulite and all! Life is too short not to.
