Cellulite Buster

If all you want to do is hit the cellulite, research studies show that exercising on Power Plate® helps eliminate cellulite SIGNIFICANTLY! – it decreases fat stores, improves skin structure and decreases your overall body size.

 

We’re not going to start quoting research papers at you though, listen to what our clients have to say:

 

“ My whole body has toned up through the training I have done on Power Plate® at studioEH1, but my skin is also noticeably tighter, particularly round my thighs and my butt – and my cellulite has gone!” Gillian

So what exactly is cellulite anyway?

That dreaded “orange peel” or “cottage cheese” skin is a condition many women (and some men) suffer from. The subcutaneous (under skin) tissues are made of a web of connective tissue, where much of a woman’s body fat is stored. The bumpy, puckered look of cellulite is caused by enlarged fat cells adhering to the upper layers of skin and shrivelling under certain conditions. Contributing to the “mattress” effect is fluid retention, the storage of environmental toxins, hormonal factors, and lack of circulation.

 

When circulation within this web of connective tissues becomes blocked, cellular waste stagnates, and these tissues harden as the skin loses its elasticity. The puckering or “mattress” effect is caused by this act of shrivelling, dimpling and adherence of the skin to the fat and connective tissue.

 

Common areas of concern (like you didn’t know!) are of course, the butt, the thighs and the upper arms.

WE CAN’T CURE THE “C” WORD BUT WE CAN HELP IT...SIGNIFICANTLY!

What the research says...

Research undertaken in Germany has proved that after 66 ten minute Power Plate sessions over 6 months cellulite was reduced by 26%. By adding cardio specific exercises to the equation, and increasing the length of the sessions, the reduction was increased to 32%. No significant changes were recorded in the control group, who did no training at all.

 

So how does Power Plate® blast it away?

Power Plate® training will help to encourage weightloss and reduce the appearance of cellulite through increased circulation and oxygenated blood flow. This aids the lymphatic process of removing toxins and works to increase the release of growth hormones, encouraging the production of collagen to help keep skin looking younger and fresher.

By holding different poses on the machine’s vibrating platform you can easily target particular problem areas of the body where cellulite is prone to linger, such as your butt and thighs.

 

Cellulite Buster Sessions

The whole process of Power Plate® training helps cellulite, but if it’s a concentrated effort you want, pre-holiday perhaps, then we’re talking one-to-one hands on massage with a Personal Trainer combined with the Power Plate®.

 

When should I see a difference?

We recommend 3 x 25min sessions a week for optimum results. You should see and feel a difference after 1 month – this however, will depend on the severity of the case!

 

Sessions will consist of a warm up, a bit of stretching, a mix of cardio exercises on the Plate, and deep tissue hands-on Power Plate® massage on YOUR target areas!

 

Whilst Power Plate® deep tissue massage works to flush out toxins, you need to avoid eating things that build them up in the first place...and drink plenty water to help your body function efficiently. Avoiding things like caffeine, full-fat dairy products and processed foods, and going for herbal teas, lots of vegetables and wholegrains instead, will smooth your skin from the inside out!
