Most people are chronically dehydrated… drinking lotttsss water will help your skin plump up and will reduce the appearance of cellulite. It really works, and its something you should be doing anyway https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

So you know that only 5% of women in the world DONT have cellulite? They’re the weird ones. Enjoy your body, your beautiful https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Oddly enough I’ve noticed that since I’ve PUT ON weight, my cellulite isn’t so noticeable. However, I’m not sure where this weight has come from. I seem to weigh far more than I ever have in my life and yet somehow I exercise more and my diet is better. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif Maybe the extra weight is my muscles toning (however, I don’t think I’m very toned so I’m not sure) BUT the significant change definitely came with poling. Since I started taking regular classes my thighs and butt are super toned. For the first time ever I don’t cringe wearing shorts.
It’s weird because I feel chunkier now than before. But in some ways, like cellulite disappearing and body firmness, I seem to be fine. So while I’m more paranoid about showing parts of me like my tummy now (whereas it used to be my best feature), the parts I always hated seem to look great! I’m a weirdo https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Someone should make cellulite "fashinable" so most of women would be happy and to bad for the 10% left https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
I got some too even when i was really skinny but that’s a fact that man barely notice it even when you show them. So we all should learn to be happy with our body. And then learn how to use photoshop for our picture on the beach https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
Luv it! -
I’ve had 4 kids and have gotten rid of it by doing intense treadmill walking (not running) 4-4.4MPH on high inclines (12%-18%). I started at a couple of miles a day and worked my way up to 10 miles by the end of the day as I built up my stamina and endurance. It works!!!

Ooohhh I love writing how-tos 😀 I'm not a total expert on this, but I've done loads of research on body beauty over the past few years so I know what I should be trying, and I know what's been working for me a little recently. If anything sounds weird then you don't have to copy lol but here's what's up in my world:
– Stay hydrated! Someone's mentioned already on this thread – you need to drink water! If I remember correctly, cellulite is caused by fatty deposits and toxins building up under the skin. Drinking lots of water every day should help to reduce it by flushing the bad stuff out of your system. If you're like me and despise water, try milk (or any dairy-alternative) or fruit juice. But be aware that fruit juice is high sugar, which isn't always the best thing. A combination of the two is probably best, and squash is also good.
– Massage! Again, it's about improving circulation and flushing the toxins out. You can get brushes and knobbly things to do it, but you can do it with your own bare hands just as well. Though I do have a knobbly massager thing that I love to bits! I do it for 5-10mins a day, with some music or a movie in the background so I don't get bored. Give it a week or two coupled with the other stuff and you should see a difference; and if not, it at least feels really nice! Also, another thing that works is to get a guy to help out – after all, they have such strong hands… 😉
– Green & white tea! Green tea had a bit of hype not long ago for being full of antioxidants; actually, so is white tea! And white tea goes amazing with a splash of pomegranate juice – trust me on that lol. You can also buy them in supplement form. They're a really good way to help detox, which in turn will help with the cellulite.
– Try some creams! When I massage, I always use Dove Firming Lotion. It hasn't entirely erased my cellulite but I can definitely say it's a lot better than it was a little while ago! I've also bought some Nivea 10-day Goodbye Cellulite gel which I'll be trying soon…
– Stretch!! Stretching the skin will also help to get rid of cellulite – not to make it looser, but just to move it around a little. Circulation again! Any muscle stretch will also stretch out the skin around it; I found that glute stretches are shifting cellulite from my butt!
– Control your weight! This is not about getting skinnier if you're over a certain weight; if you carry excess fat, it will accumulate in pockets and create cellulite. I used to be way heavier than I am now… and way dimplier >< you'll probably always have some cellulite if you had it in the first place, but shifting a little bit of excess fat can help to reduce it.
– And my last point… bend over whenever you check, then you'll stretch the skin out a little and you won't be able to see it so much 😉 because as has been said – not many of us really care! Just the modelling industry… and the modelling industry is pretty brutal. In the real world, what matters is being happy and healthy. And if you can be that way with a little cellulite, so be it!

Ohhh the dreaded C word! heh
Honestly, I know most people cringe to hear it but excercise and diet are absolute key!
Add a little "off the pole" lifting (ie break out those weights! don't be shy!). When you add muscle to your problem areas, it helps smooth out those lovely orange peel spots. Not to mention that building up some muscles off the pole will help you on the pole.
and EAT CLEAN 🙂
I don't usually advocate for anything, but the eat clean diet website and books are pretty helpful. You'll read through them and think "Jeez that makes perfect sense! why didn't I think of that on my own!".
Sugar and Salt play pretty hefty parts in bloating and slowing down your metabolism to a crawl.

My cellulite has really been pissing me off/getting me down while I'm pole dancing. I'm pretty proud of what I can do, and I think my body is looking sexy from the pole, but when I do certain moves (particularly split-like moves), the cellulite is overkill! When I do an elbow stand and extend my leg backwards…ew. It's preventing me from doing the move!
I'm thin but have t&a, and with the t&a comes cellulite.
I've noticed it's increased since I started working in an office and gained some weight, but I was under the delusion that poling would help burn it off. My upper body is getting really toned but I haven't noticed a significant difference in my legs and butt…are there any pole tricks I can do to help, or do I have to start incorporating non-pole moves? (squats, etc).
If you saw me, you'd prob be like WTF, ARE YOU INSANE? but all I can focus on right now is my cellulitely, stretch-marky ass and thighs. I love the overall shape of my booty and thighs, but the majority of the great polers appear to be smooth-skinned and lean muscle. ugh. rant over.
-
I have the cure!
Take a picture….then photo shop it! LOL That's what we see in magazines anyway. Most real woman have cellulite. I'm still self-conscious about it but I'm trying not to be. I'm thin always have been, and have cellulite. Drinking water (staying hydrated) affects it the most. It sucks, but eh, what are you gonna do….If someone doesn't like it they don't have to look at me. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif
If your worried about it showing in videos go with red or purple lights they hide stretch marks, scars and cellulite really well.

Im no expert on the matter but several women including myself have seen a reduction in the appearance of cellulite from a set of leg exercise that we all do during class. They are simply isometrics done in a sitting position. From what Ive read isometrics are what keeps dancers legs so long and lean looking.
Between these exercises, pole, and small changes in my overall diet, I can see that Im loosing the cellulite in my rear and upper thighs.
-
Veena, having watched LOTS of your lessons, I have to say…I never noticed any cellulite on you at all! Just beautiful, shapely legs and nice skin! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
I've always been an advocate of learning to love yourself just the way you are, instead of spending so much money and time on trying to change it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif I'm still learning, but that's my goal!

My older sister does pilates and uses one of those foam rollers with the bumps (a long cylinder type thing, search Pilates foam roller) and it has dramatically decreased her cellulite, pretty much gone. She just places it under her thighs while sitting on the floor leans back and 'walks' with her elbows forwards and backwards making the roller roll up and down her thighs and calves.
It basically massages it, a pretty deep massage at that, its a little uncomfortable maybe even painful at first. But it worked wonders for her.

i posted here ages ago about getting rid of it successfully through exercise and (most of the time) good diet, but i always thought you had to slog it out at the gym! just walking is a waste of time… right? WRONG! my cellulite came back after i got slack at the gym and developed a love of wine 🙂 i then became pregnant and made sure i started looking after myself properly again but due to being pregnant my exercise became a little more limited!! i am now 33 weeks pregnant and have walked pretty much EVERY day since the 1st of November (4 months) for around an hour and my cellulite is now again GONE. GONE!! I can't believe it. As I said, I always thought walking was a waste of time. how easy!!!

Here's a good article about the bands that are supposed to hold fat in and give the body shape. ( and how to strengthen them.

As a 'generational redhead' (didn't get the hair, but got the Pasty White Girl Skin!!) I say:

Cellulite is so funny. Solutions contradicting. Medical experts don't know how to get rid of it and its not even a harmful condiction like weight can be. Its a pure cosmetic issue that everyone wants to make a quick buck off of. I certainly don't believe in such sillyness…I'll use the free solution.
So I was sitting in the bathtub a few weeks ago, coffee grounds and olive oil all over my thighs and butt wrapped tight with plastic wrap for the 15 minutes the home solution website swears works. This is totally the cure….
Wait how do I actually measure cellulite? How do I know it was the magic of coffee and olive oil and not my new eating lifestyle and exercise plan? If my body is absorbing the caffine in the coffee to lossen the fat isn't it also absorbing the fat from the oil? How do I know this isn't a placebo? Is cellulite all in my head to begin with?
As I sit questioning myself over my solution to body issues my boyfriend walks in and demands to know what Lady Gaga is doing in his bathtub. This snapped me out of trance and all the coffee grounds go in the trash where they belong now. He teases me about this now anytime I bring up how I look.
TL;DR Stop driving yourself nuts about cellulite. The "cures" are silly. The stuff that works are things you should be doing anyway (good food/exercise).
-
Ahhh lady gaga lol! Too funny 🙂

Love it! That’s totally something I would do! Ha ha!

Why don’t you go for massage cellulite. I have heard a lot about massage cellulite http://www.cellublue.com/ giving positive results to cure cellulite. It provides very fast results, requires massage on only affected area.
-
I see that this is a very old thread. However, for me, drinking lots of water, running and eating right reduces my cellulite almost 100 percent.

Alright peeps, it’s Science Time! Cellulite is not a certain special type of fat, it’s not hormonal, and though genetics play a role in all phenotype so, it’s not genetic in a black and white sense. it’s not bc you did something wrong, Cellulite is fat. The reason we see it more in women than man is simply how we are constructed. There are adhesion points that contribute to the structure of your three layers of skin as well as the fat and muscle underneath. One could almost consider it fascia. Women have fewer adhesion points between the skin and what is below, versus men. This gives men’s skin a smoother appearance and women less so when that skin is placed over fat. Also, women carry fat around the hips and thighs more than men, giving men yet another leg up.
It is impossible to get rid of cellulite without removing fat. The best way to do that is eating well and excersizing. And like veena said, most real women have it. Women who don’t are photoshopped, have very low % body fat, or are #blessed.
Check out the pic below. I would change the titling of healthy versus unhealthy bc perfectly healthy women have cellulite. As you can see, it’s the infrequent placement of dermal connective tissue that causes the issue and we can’t change the frequent of that connective tissue.
-
@briwi THANK YOU FOR POSTING!!
I was gonna say something similar, and you have a nice diagram that goes with it. I’ll add that the same connective tissue structure in men is criss-crossed, rather than just vertical like women’s are. This further reinforces their skin structure, making the chances of appearance of cellulite really slim (ha, pun).
What’s sad and frustrating for me is this most of this thread is predicated on the idea that cellulite is a bad thing that we’re supposed to be ashamed of, and try to hide it or eradicate it.
NO.
https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/cellulite-used-to-be-chill
^^ THIS ARTICLE is the best thing I ever found about cellulite and after thinking about it for a while, I don’t really worry about mine anymore (and damn do I have a lot). If you’re strapped for time, here are the main takeaways (I’m simplifying, so read the whole article):
1. There are oil paintings that are hundreds of years old of naked women who have cellulite. Cellulite is not some new thing that we have because of not “eating clean.”
2. It’s a secondary sex characteristic, like boobs. Just like most women grow boobs of whatever size, most show some cellulite to whatever degree.
3. The concern and shame and wish to eradicate cellulite is manufactured by the beauty industry, and this manufactured fear started after 1900.
Manufactured. By the beauty industry. Recently. Led by the same man who founded L’Oreal ($$$$$). I assure you I’m not wearing a tinfoil hat. If you truly hate your cellulite, think about why you actually feel that way – is it because of ads you’re used to seeing? Did a medical professional tell you to worry about it? Did someone close to you say something shitty?
I am all onboard with a campaign to normalize cellulite. If the Kardashians can make “thigh brow” a thing, we’ve got this in the bag. If anyone else wants to seriously talk about some kind of #cellulite thing, hit me up!

33barbwire YES to all of that

Cellulite is actually a fascia issue. I’ve had it my whole adult life and I’ve hated it and tried so many things, read so many things and spend a lot of $$. I thought it was a “fat issue” but it actually is the connective tissue that has become unhealthy for whatever reason. The ONLY thing that worked so far is this thing called the FasciaBlaster and I swear it has changed my body. http://ashleyblacksystems.com/ Ashley is a smart lady. She developed this simple self-treatment tool called the fascia blaster that basically breaks down the inconsistencies in the fascia causing the look of cellulite. It is fascinating. I have done it for 4 months and I dropped 2 pant size and cellulite is going away….it also feels great. Hope that helps you!
