    Default Does cycling get rid of thigh cellulite?

    Hello--
    Now, Tonalin wasn't that great for me because it gave me the skin from hell.
    and not just regular hell, but like ninth circle demons slowly spawning hell.
    Now I'm looking for another way to trim down on my lower body, and was thinking about buying a bike. Does that type of muscle exercise kill cellulite?

    I have read in countless fitness magazines that, while good for basic cardio and weightloss, Biking, stationary, or road, doesn't do a thing for your legs. For a real leg workout, toning and such, try a stepper or an elliptical.

    When I bitch about my legs, a good friend of mine says to walk, bike, or jump rope. A lot.

    ^from what I hear, it's not the norm and you can take Milk Thistle to counteract the effects. I didn't start taking MT until after I stopped the tonalin, and I'm just not up for trying tonalin again.
    Basically I got two or three really deep painful zits (and I was only on for a couple weeks at the longest), and occasionally I would try to pop them and it would seem like they did pop-- but then they'd stay....sulking....purple. AND SLOWLY HEAL UP to the point that I couldn't see them, but I'd run my finger over my face and I'd still feel a lump in that spot like over a MONTH LATER ON!!! I've never had that happen before, so I'm blaming the tonalin.

    I think anything you do to burn fat could help.

    Running is amazing if you can do it. I love the eliptical although results seem to be slower then running.

    I just saw something on FitTV about cellulite being a skin condition. How much cellulite you have showing depends on how well your skin keeps it below the skins layers. That's why even skinny, fit people can have it ( I don't recall seeing any skinny, fit people with cellulite )It showed all thies creams and things you had to do to get rid of it, but who knows how true it is, plus it took like a year of the stuff to get rid of any sign and you have to keep doing it or it comes back.

    Wouldn't Milk Thistle counteract the GOOD effects of CLA too, though? Because, if it's counteracting the bad effects, it must be doing something to the advantages...

    Everyone HAS cellulite, it's just a question of how much. Cellulite is a natural layer in the body between the skin and muscle. You cant make it ALL go away, and I have a sneaking feeling that if you DID, it wouldnt be a good thing for your body. It's just a matter of taming it.

    Paige-- well it's not horrible. Actually it's not TOO bad...but there's the occasional really shallow dimple that graces the back of my thigh, and it makes me self-conscious to wear short skirts.

    PinkStar: Milk Thistle helps your liver clean out toxins and therefore helps your skin out. With CLA, it's basically Safflower (or sunflower, I forget) oil, and so your skin has a problem with the higher level of oil in your system. Logically, I guess if you use milk thistle to counteract the normal toxins, then your skin has less crap to deal with and can handle the oil better? Don't know-- just speculation.

    I just saw a TV show with a bunh of girls in bootie short. I love bootie shorts, i have like 20 pair, but I have a butt dimple and very little cellulit. Anyone looking at my ass because they wana see my ass would never say anything about it, but it makes me self consious. Seeing all the girls on TV with their smooth dimple free butts made me more self consious.

    yeah, I just tell myself that when a guy sees a girl in a short skirt, he doesn't see cellulite, he just sees a girl in a short skirt. : )

    Any cardio/aerobic activity will get rid of cellulite. True that everyone has cellulite, however, the more fat you have the more pronounced the cellulite is.

    The only other way to get rid of cellulite is to weight lift and eat right.

    If you ever pop those zits, quickly put Neosporin so that you wont scar as bad. Don't pop them though, but if you do.

    weight train! Trust me adding muscle will definetly smooth out the area.. lunges, squats, side lunges, step-ups, hamstring curls, etc.

    Seems like there are a ton of people going to cure the cellulite issue.

    Miss TampaDancer is right, tho oddly not clear on her reasons. This is unlike her.

    You realize the catch here is it's much like abs. You need to cook yourself to better lean look. I suspect Tonalin had a poor outcome because it did in fact push a lot of toxins from your diet to the skin :/

    Anyways, my point is, you need to focus on building LEAN muscle in that area. Lean muscle burns calories even at rest. A strong cardio workout will not only break down/shrinken the layer of cellulite but couple that with a mild workout, you'll help build lean muscle in that area.

    Now, my comment about Miss Tampadancer being unclear is that, tho cycling helps, she takes a class (as mentioned on her before) called SPIN CLASS, soybeangirl does as well and these people have fantastic legs, (as a gentleman I did not look at their ass ) but the class is designed to work you HARD. It's called 'ALL-OUT' cardio, as I have learned and may be wrong. And I >believe< the objective is to burn more callories than you take in while maintaining a diet that focuses on protein that helps build the lean muscle which will come through under the cellulite. Which is WHY it's so much about you're intake of food as well.

    Anyways, my own testimony is about a month ago I was forced into some "Ass Pants" and I generally liked the shape, my Ass didn't really distinguish itself from my back. Now I'm not all crazy ego about this run down dope factory I call a body, but I'm very happy with it, and addicted to working out on a regular/daily basis, so I figured I'd focus on my abs and ass. This, after research, I noticed was more about food than about your workout. And it's true. Or so I have seen.

    So far in about 4 weeks, I've felt the changes and now I'm beginning to see it visibly as long as I don't hear from frustratedbunny whom always seems to leave me with a strong desire for Chinese food.

    Blah Blah Blah, I just hope this helps.

    well.. pardon!^^^

    Mast is correct - they key is definitely 80% diet. And to lose fat, you need to engage in intense cardio sessions - cycling is something that will not only help you burn calories, but it will tone and tighten, literally, every muscle in your lower body (in addition to back, abs, and tris).

    I'm convinced mine will never go away. I used to run every day until my knees started to bother me. I still had cellulite. I trained with a pilates instructor that trained celebrities. Still had cellulite. Now I weight train with a personal trainer 3 days a week, eat what she tells me, and do pilates on my own and I stll have it. I'm doomed to never be rid of cellulite. I'm an otherwise skinny person who has it on my butt and thighs and it won't go away. My body wants to hang onto that fat for dear life. I guess if I starved myself or ate a totally disgustingly bland diet maybe I could lose it but I'm not willing to be miserable to lose it. I'll just do my best but I doubt it will ever go away. Might check out that doctor's book though.

    ^ tonalin or plastic surgery? you're probably at the right point in your life since you've already been working out forever...you could just get him to suck out some of those ugly fat cells.
    I'm holding off on Plastic surgery for a few more years.

    she doesn't have to get laid, necessarily...

    she just needs to RECOGNIZE that she's ONE HOT BITCH.

    ok, enough hijacking the thread.

    Fancy, I've heard you are a hot bitch too !!
