This week the ADOFitness trainers will be addressing some of the most common things we get asked about. This week Ill be addressing CELLULITE.

Cellulite is something we as coaches get asked about A LOT. Why? Because its VERY common to have! Everyone wants to know how or if they can get rid of cellulite.
.
So what is cellulite exactly? Its fat tissue beneath your skin that is being pushed against connective tissue, causing it to dimple or wrinkle in spots.
.
Can you get rid of it? Well of course you can. If its body fat and you lose body fat you will lose cellulite. However, it is usually accumulating in areas that are hard to lose bdoyfat from which is also why it is so persistent with women on their backside, hips, and thighs. These are the areas our hormones usually want to drop fat from last as a female. Since there is no way to spot reduce when it comes to weight loss, you must lose enough weight for your body to drop weight even from your most stubborn areas to actually get rid of cellulite.
.
So are there ways to improve it in the process? Yes. Anytime you stimulate an area you can increase blood flow and reduce fluid buildup. So things like deep tissue massage, foam rolling, fascia blasting, etc can break up the connective tissue helping create a smoother surface. You can also use things like micro needling and skin brushing to help stimulate blood flow to the skins surface. Will this completely rid you of cellulite? Most likely not. You will still need to lose body fat in order to actually get rid of cellulite. But consistently forcing blood flow to the surface of the skin and breaking up adhesions that may have formed in your connective tissue can reduce the appearance of it.
