People of any age can become victims of cellulite. The cause of cellulite is not related to age or gender, it is related to metabolic disorders in the body. However, women are more susceptible to cellulite. This is due to the structure of subcutaneous adipose tissue, as well as to the natural characteristics of the female body:
- In women, fat tissue fibers form a honeycomb structure, so any increase in fat tends to bulge out, like the stuffing on a mattress. Men have visually less cellulite. Why? Because their fibers run horizontally, creating a criss-cross pattern of fatty tissue that prevents bulges or dimples. \
- Also, women have an average of 15% higher amount of body fat than men, which is why the chances of cellulite are greater in a woman’s body than in a man’s body.
Cellulite can appear at any time and with age, if nothing is done about it, it only gets worse. This is due to changes in our tissues. Threads of connective tissue thicken as we age and our skin thins, making cellulite more visible. More importantly, as our physical activity decreases as we age, we get fatter. Every 10 years of her adult life, a woman loses 2-3 kg of muscle and replaces it with approximately 6-7 kg of fat – white fat. Because fat is extremely soft, it does not keep our skin as firm as muscle. In addition, it takes up more space, so it sticks out, gradually deforming the skin.
Where does cellulite come from?
As we wrote earlier, cellulite is white fat cells. There are many ways to reduce their size and also convert them into brown fat. One such effective method is physical activity, i.e. exercises to strengthen and strengthen the body. Activities are different and you choose what is closer to you in spirit and style of your life. However, we recommend yoga classes that work on hard-to-reach parts of the body. Yoga involves not only the work of the body but also the mind. And this, in our “time of rapid change and progress,” is of no small importance. Classes help increase stress resistance and emotional stability.
The lower part of the human body is especially susceptible to cellulite. With the right exercises, you can reduce cellulite and give your lower body a smoother, firmer appearance. The trick is to target all the muscles of the lower body from different angles, reducing underlying fat deposits and replacing lost muscle tissue to give the area a firmer, toned appearance.
We offer you the 7 most effective yoga exercises for reducing cellulite in such common and hard-to-reach places as the thighs and buttocks.
Perform them at least 4-5 times a week for 10-15 minutes and after 2 weeks you will notice the first positive results! And if you are serious about tightening up your sides and tummy, then come to our online classes.
