Rubbing cellulite away?

I'm a "pear" so to speak too. Try Brazilian Butt Lift!! There are several different DVD's - one for cardio, abs, and SCULPTING. I really think the sculpting is helping me. He helps me work parts of my "bum" and thighs that I couldn't figure out how to on my own.
My fiance on the other hand swears by running sprints - UGH! My least fav. thing!0 -
Because your skinny fat.
Ladies, pick up the weights!
STFU. I've been a dancer my entire life, have legs of steel, and I still have it. It's called genetics.
I don't recall dancing as being the same as weight lifting. *cough*
I lift too, 5-6 days a week - I was simply implying that I have strong dancer's legs.
And what kind of workouts do YOU do, pray tell?

Your body is a dang heavy weight.
I've read that there's not much you can do about it. Genes, I guess.0 -
It's genetic. You can do things to reduce the apperance temporarily, but it will never go away. I'm overweight and don't have a smidge of celulite, nor does my mother who is thin, while my best friend is skinny and fit and she has it, as does her mom who is overweight. Unless it's really bad, chances are nobody notices it anyway.0

Hmm, I honestly had no idea you could measure body fat % for just one specific area! How is that done anyway? I think 14% body fat overall would be pretty difficult for me to achieve, and that's not what I'm going for anyway - I like having feminine curves, breasts, hips, and a nice round booty.
Judging by your response, I am assuming you are using a bioimpedance machine (scale or hand held device) to measure your body fat. Here is the thing, they can be fairly inaccurate by 2-3%. A more accurate way is to use body fat calipers where you measure up to 10 different areas to measure body fat. So even though a machine might say you are 18%, it could be more likely you are 20-21%... not to burst your bubble. Hydration level alone or how you set up a scale can make it very. If i put my scale on ahtlete, it has me at 9-10% but if it's on normal, it has me at 15-18%.0 -

First of all: rude.
Second: you're*
People of all shapes and sizes have cellulite. I agree with those that say eat right and exercise, and you'll eventually see results. Toning up is key. Also, love yourself, cellulite and all!
First of all: sensitive

90% of women have cellulite. Its not because they are skinny fat, its because women are prone to cellulite.0

Of course, it WOULD be a guy commenting on a women's issue with ZERO sensitivity. SMH.0

If you think of cellulite as fat stores, you will soon realize you have to burn cellulite off. There are many treatments and remedies out there, however there is no scientific or medical research to back up their claims.
It seem the best treatment is a healthy diet with exercise.
I weigh 131.6 and I'm 5'4'' so I'm technically in the "healthy" range for my height/weight ratio. Why then do I still have it?
I have no real idea why you have it. There are "treatments" for it, but they are not supported by the medical or scientific communities. Until there is more research done, we may never know.0 -

but thanks for the "compliment'
Women are more likely to have cellulite than men and there are some reasons why it is so:
A difference between cell structure of women and men – female fat cells are clustered in sacs, arranged in vertical columns.
A percentage of body fat – men have lower percentage of body fat than women.
As for men, fat is stored in the abdominal area and as for women, fat is stored in the area of tights and buttocks.
Men have thicker skin and the fat chambers are smaller and more tightly-held together.
On a side note, I've had cellulite since I was about 12, and at 21 it's finally starting to be less noticeable. I never really worked out, but now I do a lot of squats and lunges, it's helped me. Both of you sound active, so I guess your genetics are even worse than mine.0 -

Where did you pull that statistic from? Very few women i know have cellulite. I would be interested in your source though.0 -

A lot of women have cellulite, you just don't know it because they don't stand in front of you and squeeze their butt cheeks for you to OOO and AAAHH at it.
I have it and I'm 5'2'' and 120 pounds, healthy/normal range, and I workout and run. I've had it all my life, and I got it from my mama Not embarassed by it, but I'd prefer it not to be there. 0 -
I make my own rub with epsom salt, olive oil, coffee grounds and brown sugar. I use it in the shower maybe twice a week, it makes my skin look much nicer and I don't even need to lotion afterwards....however i have not noticed a difference in my cellulite (I have a lot of it!). Even when I was at my lowest weight 125lbs at 5'4" I still had cellulite, so I have no idea how to get rid out it

Hi guys,
So I was just reading some forums about getting rid of cellulite and a number of women said they rubbed their cellulite prone areas in the shower with sea salt and could see differences in about two weeks? I am wanting to talk to someone this may have had worked for personally. How long does an area need to be rubbed for? Desperate need of removing cellulite! Any advice helps! Thanks!
What a classic! Contender for thread of the year!0 -
Per the link a previous poster gave, it states: The amount of fat in the body is determined by the individual's eating and exercise habits, but the distribution of fat in the body is determined by heredity. In most cases reduction of a particular part can be accomplished only as part of an overall weight-reduction program.
The other link states this: One of the most effective types of exercises to reduce cellulite is strength training.
You can reduce cellulite but you most likely won't get rid of it and many times it is hereditary.
Personally, I work my butt off. I alternate between running and kettlebells - usually 3 days of one and 2 days of the other and switch it every week. I have bad cellulite. It hasn't gone away and yes, it bothers me but I do my best to be healthy and not focus on the negative.0 -

If you would like, I am sure I can find more. Maybe you can't see the cellulite, but its probably there. You can reduce its appearance by strength training, but its not going to completely get rid of it. Its genetics. Women store fat differently than men.0

No it is far from weight lifting, in fact, we shall take ballet dancers as an example here.......
They are amongst the most strongest, fittest people going - you are 100% correct, dancing is not the same as weight lifting - however, BOTH activites will contain people that have cellulite
*cough*0 -
Google skin brushing. Apparently it takes a while but people say it works. There are also YouTube videos showing how to do it properly.0

Who was? Ahh you mean the person that said for ladies to pick up the weights... yes they were rude.0 -
Lots of water and even more exercise and I have noticed a huge difference in mine. Tried the rubs years ago and with no diet or exercise I was just rubbing lotion on myself so nope didnt work till I started the move more eat less plan.0

Weight training definitely helps. I dance, run, and do leg workouts as part of my training plan and I have virtually no cellulite :-)
ETA: when I had a higher BF % and didn't work out as much I did have some so I would say I have successfully gotten rid of it0 -
i can't speak to the sea salt thing, but i used to have cellulite really bad, and now i have NONE!!! i did Bob Harper's workouts every single day for the entire month of May - in the beginning of the month I had cellulite, and at the end it was gone! So maybe just try doing a bunch of circuit training to tone up???? worked for me!!0

Save your money. People spend billions of dollars on pills, creams, gadgets and whatever. We could probably erase the national debt in a few years on the money people throw away trying the easy way out. Just use common sense. Does it seem too good to be true? Yeah, it is.
Cellulite is just lumpy fat. Diet and exercise.0 -
Oh i also became a vegan in May but I doubt that had anything to do with it, but you never know!0

I had cellulite on my upper arms, stomach, thighs and calves when I weighed in the 140lbs range.
I am 5'3" and today I weigh 114lbs. All the cellulite disappeared except for the back of my upper thighs, near my butt area. I am still working on it.
During my weightloss journey, I did a lot of massaging of the legs (the type for lymph node drainage for Lymphedema patients) after every shower. Using a basic moisturizer and massaging from my ankles up to my thighs.0 -
ps: dancers are AMAZINGLY strong!!!! i'm not a dancer but i can tell they totally kick *kitten*!0
