5 Exercises Against Cellulite From A Body Flex Expert

Since the age of 13, I have been overweight and embarrassed to wear shorts due to cellulite. As with millions of other women, this was a real problem for me. Today I am 58, I live in Nice and work as a coach in the author’s breathing exercises for weight loss and body shaping. And I am in awe of my body. I want to tell you how to win the war on cellulite!

What you need to know

Cellulite mainly forms on the buttocks and thighs and is very difficult to eliminate. After liposuction, it returns double in size, I saw this in hundreds of women who turned to me for help.

It usually affects women, especially those with a genetic predisposition. This is due to the high level of estrogen concentration. This is especially true when you reach puberty, during pregnancy, or when taking oral contraceptive pills.

All this contributes to the appearance of the ugly orange peel that causes us so much anxiety, especially in summer.

Other causes of cellulite are constipation, poor circulation and liver function.

Finally, stress, poor diet, a sedentary lifestyle and smoking are also contributing factors.

This problem affects 90% of women and 10% of men, and most doctors consider it a normal physiological phenomenon. But we are not going to put up with it, and I know what to do.

Note that a person with cellulite is not necessarily overweight, but still feels uncomfortable about having to live with this mass of adipose tissue and this orange peel on their thighs.

How to finally get rid of cellulite ?! Over 15 years of work, I have created 5 golden exercises that have helped me and thousands of women. I borrowed some of them from oriental cultures when I lived in Malaysia and Vietnam.

Breathing exercises help speed up the metabolism, cleanse the body of toxins and get rid of cellulite. The enrichment of problem areas with oxygen, in combination with special isometric, isotonic and stretching postures, decomposes fat accumulations (cellulite).

Dedicate yourself 20 minutes before breakfast – do breathing exercises. And very soon you will be proud of yourself.

Why is everyone getting slimmer with this breathing exercise?

As you already know from my past articles, the method is designed to quickly lose weight, improve health and increase energy. Its important components are diaphragmatic breathing and exercise.

Over the past 15 years, it has become popular in France and abroad. My students in France, Belgium, Italy, Finland, Norway have already built and changed their lives for the better.

Of course, there are no miracles. As the French say, “pas de miracles“… It is important to carry out the anti-cellulite program every morning before breakfast. It will forever rid you of the “orange peel” on the hips and buttocks, increase energy and reduce appetite. At the same time, the skin will become elastic, the muscles will tighten – oxygen and physical activity will do their job.

• Before starting a workout, make sure you can breathe diaphragmatically (see my previous article).
• All exercises are performed while holding the breath for up to 5 seconds.
• After the exercise, relax and take a correct (!) Breath.
