Do you regularly do cardio sessions to fight cellulite and lose weight? But did you know that it’s just as important to take time to strength train several times a week? Let us walk you through the benefits of muscle strengthening when it comes to tackling cellulite!
The benefits of strength training against cellulite
Did you know? Strength training is ideal for getting rid of cellulite over the long term! Working your muscles helps to drain the tissues: you fight against water retention and tissue inflammation, both of which are closely linked to cellulite. As muscles rebuild, they help dislodge fat and reveal a more toned, athletic silhouette!
Your efforts need to be consistent, but the benefits of strength training show up fairly quickly: you’ll notice a loss of centimetres in targeted areas, such as the thighs or glutes. And don’t worry if the scales don’t show any weight loss — or even show a slight gain! Muscle weighs more than fat. Give your body time to adjust to this new activity and stay motivated. Within a few months and with the right exercise routine, your body will be transformed!
How to get started?
Ideally, aim for 3 sessions per week, every other day to give your muscles enough time to recover and rebuild properly. Sessions can last 30 to 45 minutes, including a warm-up and cool-down with a few stretches. Make sure to stay well hydrated and use a fan during your workouts in summer!
