Preventing Hip Cellulite Before it Starts

The key to preventing hip cellulite from forming in the first place is, in addition to a healthy diet and regular exercise, strength training. Nothing bothers me more than seeing all of these women out there trying to look like the women in the magazines by eating almost nothing. Starving yourself will just make you appear saggy and "skinny fat". The women in the magazines (you know who I'm talking about, the women with the rock hard bodies) work out hard to maintain those physiques. Starving yourself will give the the opposite look, you'll be soft and pudgy. The key to success is to follow a strength training program in addition to cardiovascular work.

There is a myth that I wish would die. It says that if a woman lifts heavy weights, she will look like one of those steroid freak female bodybuilders. This is completely false. If a woman lifts heavy weights, she will have a hard body like the women in the magazines. You won't get "big and bulky", you will build a lean, hard and oh-so-very sexy body. The hard part is maintaining a good workout program. Things get stale and boring and you lose motivation. That's why I recommend seeing a personal trainer every few months. They will give you new workouts based on your goals and will help keep you motivated, as well.

If you already have hip cellulite, I still recommend a weight training program in addition to a cardio routine. That way, you will decrease body fat (and therefore cellulite), while simultaneously getting a rock hard, sexy body. You can kill two birds with one stone, to use an old term. I'll touch on a few good bodybuilding exercises in the next post.
