Cellulite is sometimes referred to as a cottage cheese or orange peel appearance to the skin.  This can happen to anyone at any age, regardless of whether you are skinny or overweight.  Cellulite is fat accumulation under the skin.  Cellulite is an inflammation of the subcutaneous connective tissue that expands laterally.  The irregular skin surface of cellulite is the result of thickened fat cells, moisture, and substances.  Other possible reasons for cellulite are poor blood circulation, alcohol, refined sugars, caffeine, and sometimes even genetics. 

Research has shown that Whole Body Vibration can help improve skin by reducing cellulite.  WBV causes increased local circulation to targeted areas resulting in a decrease of fat, stronger skin and connective tissue.  By using WBV regularly muscle mass will increase, and fat burning increases helping to keep cellulite away. 

A study was completed to determine if WBV was beneficial in treating cellulite.  For this study, 24 women participated in vibration training for 24 weeks, and 31 women participated in vibration training with cardio exercise.  After 24 weeks the results were amazing!  The vibration training group showed a decrease of 25.68% in cellulite.  The vibration training combined with cardio provided a decrease of 32.30% in cellulite. 

To reduce cellulite, it’s important to increase muscle tone and replace fat stores with lean muscle.  Whole Body Vibration is a safe, fast solution in fighting cellulite.  To help maintain results it is important to eat a healthy diet and reduce intake of alcohol, refined sugars, and caffeine.
