Reducing the appearance of cellulite and looking after your figure takes a lot of effort over time. Today we’re sharing fitness tips to help you start a suitable workout routine, or to get back on track if you’ve already been training for a while!
Our fitness tips to get back in shape
First essential step: throw away your scales! Weight no longer means anything. Instead, take photos of yourself from the front and from the side, and take your measurements: stomach, thighs, glutes, bust, arms.
Follow a suitable programme: have you heard of the Wonder Body Guide? This fitness and anti-cellulite guide offers targeted exercises and a workout programme that any woman can follow to work on her figure!
Build muscle! To include strength training in your routine, it’s recommended that you train your muscles at least 3 times a week, for 30 to 45 minutes. Opt for targeted exercises and alternate the areas you work each session to give them time to recover.
Don’t be afraid of weights! To build muscle, training with weights can complement your programme. Don’t hesitate to consult a professional to find out the right exercises and the best movements to perform without injuring yourself.
A little cardio: to round off your exercise routine, add a few interval cardio sessions each week. Vary the intensity of the effort, from moderate to vigorous. You can choose cycling, running, swimming, Zumba, etc. To better understand the link between muscle and fat, take a look at our dedicated article too.
Remember to stretch: to keep your muscles supple, make sure you stretch regularly, for example with a longer session once a week. You’ll find good exercises here and there! Combined with a proper warm-up, they help limit the risk of injury.
Fuel your muscles: whatever you do, don’t starve yourself! Make sure you get enough fibre and protein, and spread your intake across your meals and a few snacks if you feel you need them. And yes, you can treat yourself from time to time – it won’t have disastrous consequences for your programme!
Why not in a group? Fitness doesn’t have to be a solo activity. And it’s always more motivating with others, especially if the people around you are at the same level as you. And if they’re not, you might pick up some valuable tips or be the one encouraging a beginner!
Be patient! Every woman progresses at her own pace. Give yourself at least 3 months before taking stock of the first changes. Then it’ll be time to share your before/after photos!
