Exercises for cellulite on the upper arms
In case of cellulite on the upper arms, the following exercises have a positive effect on the upper arm muscles.
- In the so-called ladies’ push-up, one goes on the floor to the four-footed stand. The palms of the hands are positioned on the floor shoulder-wide at chest height.The legs are angled, the knees are supported and the ankles are crossed.
At the beginning of the workout, the more right the angle between thigh and hip, the easier the exercise. You consciously shift your weight to your arms and bend them slowly. The elbows remain as close to the body as possible, while the abdomen is tense and the back straight.
Then press the upper part of the body upwards with the arms. The elbows are not fully extended. After a breathing break, repeat the same movement ten times.
- For the next exercise a Thera-Band is needed.
Even small weights can be used for this. You move into an upright body position. The legs are about shoulder width apart and slightly bent.
Now place one foot on the middle of the Thera-band. The hands grasp both ends of the band, while the backs of the hands face outwards. The arms are raised to shoulder height.
Body and outstretched arms imitate the shape of the letter “T”. Important – the wrists must not bend. Also, make sure that legs and hips are slightly bent and back and stomach are tense. After lifting, lower your arms again slowly and in a controlled manner. Repeat the movement between 15 and 20 times at your own discretion.
Exercises for cellulite on the stomach
Building and strengthening the abdominal muscles have a positive effect on the structure of the subcutaneous fat tissue on the abdomen. At this point two effective exercises are presented. Since it is always an interaction of different muscle groups, the muscles in the legs and buttocks are trained simultaneously.
- For the first exercise, lie on your back on an elastic, non-resilient surface. The arms are positioned on the floor at a 90-degree angle with the palms facing down. Now stretch your outstretched legs upwards.
The soles of your feet point towards the ceiling. The aim of the exercise is to lower the stretched legs slowly and in a controlled manner towards the floor and then return to the starting position. Starting the exercise is very difficult.
The exercise is easier if you lower your stretched legs only slightly towards the floor and then return to the original position. As the training effect increases, the distance can be extended. The lowering of the legs is repeated 30 times.
After 10 repetitions take a short break.
- In the second exercise to strengthen the abdominal muscles, you lie on your back. The arms are crossed behind the head. The left leg is bent, while the right leg lies on the floor as stretched as possible.
Now, by tensing the abdominal muscles, lead the right elbow to the left knee. Then stretch the left leg and bend the right leg. Make the same diagonal movement with the left elbow towards the right knee. The movement is performed eight times on each side. After a short break, repeat the exercise.
