How to Get Rid of Cellulite Fast at Home

Muscle weighs more than fat so measure inches instead of pounds.

Cellulite cannot be wiped away, covered in cream, or even sucked out of the body; it requires a long-term direct investment in cardiovascular exercise and healthy eating. Cellulite is an accumulation of fat cells under the skin, stretching and creating unsightly dimpling. There is evidence though, that the appearance of cellulite can be diminished and even eliminated. Fat is a source of contention for women with just a few pounds to lose as well as women who battle the beast, so this year instead of self-deprecating diet regimens try this new approach.

Things You'll Need

• Exfoliating brush
• Small bowl
• Wash cloth
• Towel
• Sea salt
• Almond oil
• Water
• Fruits and Vegetables
• Treadmill
• Exercise bike

Instructions

1. 

   Massage temporarily reduces the dimpling appearance of cellulite.

   Pour equal parts sea salt and almond oil into the bowl and mix them together. Dip the brush into the oil and brush vigorously in a circular motion. Continue brushing the sea salt over the cellulite until the skin becomes red and less dimpled. Perform this action one time per day for two weeks.

2. 

   Eating fruits and vegetables and raising the heart rate can decrease cellulite.

   Eat lean high-protein meats, fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, fruits and vegetables. Drink 1 gallon or 64 oz. of water per day to flush cellulite from the skin.

3. Shower with alternating hot and cold water, allowing it to wash over the dimpled area. Water pressure will increase circulation and reduce the appearance of cellulite under the skin.

4. 

   The power of hard work will pay off when bathing suit season arrives.

   Perform three sets of 50 leg abductions. Laying on one side of the body, raise and lower the outer leg without resting until the sets are complete. Switch sides and redo the exercise on the opposite leg. Raise arms from the sides of the body to shoulder length and complete three sets of 50 arm circles. Walk 30 minutes, twice a day, six days per week. Bicycle 30 minutes, twice a day, six days per week

Tips & Warnings

• Alternate walking, leg and arm lifts and bicycling throughout the week to maintain a dynamic routine. Swimming is an easy task that will also increase cellulite reduction. Add essential oils to the sea salt scrub for an in-home spa treatment. These salts and oils can also be added to a hot bath at the end of the daily work out for a refreshing and relaxing soak.

• Avoid skipping exercise days to increase cellulite reduction. Do not substitute flavored water drinks for water because these drinks can slow weight loss.
