Is it possible to have cellulite on one leg?
Before I get into the cellulite story, I just want to say
the reason I haven’t posted for a while is because I was
finishing off my 10 novels that I have now published on
I wrote them last year and started to publish in Feb
this year, within 6 months, I managed to get all 10
books are out there to be read
It took a lot of work and brain power and I was so
focussed on finishing them, I couldn’t write anything
else. Then I had to take a wee break but I’m back now,
aiming to get two posts out a week
I have so much to talk about…
Back in July, I was in Tenerife and I set myself a
challenge to do every day, it was bodyweight and I
could do it in the hotel room
It included squat thrusts, which is the bottom part of
a burpee. Think of being in a hand plank and jumping
your legs in and out, without standing up
As I was in Tenerife, I did this in my underwear in the
air conditioned hotel room, it made sense
So, I’m watching my legs, trying to get the movement
perfect and trying to jump in closer each time, when
I was distracted by my lumpy cellulite
I put on a lot of weight recently hitting over 13 stone
on the scales but have got back down to 11 stone 10
and my normal weight is about 10 and a half. This
was the first time I had seen cellulite like this
After a while, I noticed that my right leg was fine,
no lumpiness at all, it was just on my left leg and I
thought how weird!
A few hours later I figured it out
My right leg is my demonstrating leg (in the studio)
and has better muscle tone than my left
I can now tell you from experience that weight or
body weight training can and will help you get rid
of cellulite
I asked Ryan to take a photo
but why does this happen?
When your muscle is in good condition i.e. strong,
It pulls closer to the bone, taking the tissue with it
and when the muscle is slightly pumped, it evens
out the skin and tissue
However, exercise won’t get rid of cellulite completely
but it will improve the appearance of the skin and
muscle
There is a lot of rubbish written about cellulite,
so called miracle creams and treatments and while
they can improve the surface of your skin, they
don’t address the tissue underneath i.e. where
cellulite lives!
I can only show you my photo of my underused,
cellulite ridden left leg and my more toned right
leg that is smoother as evidence that exercise more
than helps
I’m interested in hearing more stories, have you
found exercise to improve your cellulite?
