Anti cellulite products and cellulite reduction is one of the most profitable areas of the beauty industry. Not because the passive cellulite treatments work - but because they are all deceptively marketed at desperate women - who don't even know what cellulite is.

You must first know what it is before you can actually get rid of cellulite.

The beauty and cosmetics industry can get away with a lot trickery' when it comes to advertising their cellulite treatment products because most of what they sell is for superficial,The Cellulite Myth: What Is Cellulite and How to Get Rid of It Articles passive use.

More on the legal speak later - for now lets give you something helpful...

Do you know this type of woman?

She looks absolutely fabulous in her 'hot' jeans... She looks amazing in a form fitted skirt... and she actually looks like a 'hottie' in her workout gear... But when she's naked - she can't stand to look at her trouble spots in the mirror because of her cellulite...

A bikini is out of the question... the short little dress won't see the light of day... and her man is only allowed to "see her" with the lights off...

She doesn't know why she has it. She's heard so many different 'theories'. And she has wasted hundreds, if not, thousands of hard earned dollars on ineffective 'cellulite treatment products' - only to become more disappointed and frustrated when her cellulite problem got even worse, instead of improving...

She may have even tried "the gym thing" - doing the same-old, same-old circuit routine every other regular member does - again only to find the cellulite is still there...

She loves her weight, her size and even her shape... All she wants is to be cellulite free...

Truth be told there is only one proven way to get rid of cellulite. And yes, it is 'exercise' - but it's not just any old fitness routine... The effective way to banish cellulite is with a specifically structured, laser-targeted cellulite reduction exercise program.

In order for the cellulite reduction plan to deliver the desired outcome, it must include six key principles known as, R.E.D.U.C.E.

R.E.D.U.C.E.

1 - Replace all 'weight and machine' lower body exercises with bodyweight exercises -- this may seem counter-intuitive to the mainstream 'fitness' approach to cellulite reduction - but its the main reason why it actually works...

2 - Emphasize the slowness of each repetition - This allows the whole muscle to be involved and properly engaged in each exercise - a key to lower body cellulite reduction...

3 - Don't get caught up in the 'No pain - no gain' mentality -- this concept forces women to think "doing more is better" which is not the case. This actually prohibits the desired result of cellulite reduction and this is also where exercise related injuries occur...

4 - Utilize items in your house for a total lower body, cellulite busting exercise routine... items such as a padded chair or sofa, a stable ottoman or foot-rest, and a utility step stool are perfect...

5 - Concentrate on moving from one exercise to the next with no more than 20 seconds between sets -- this is an important element for the cellulite reduction effect...

6 - Expect definite cellulite elimination to begin within two - 3 weeks if you get your lower body sessions in three times per week (some women can get away with just two sessions per week).

It is widely know that cellulite affects women of all ages, body types, and body weights.

Unfortunately this allows for a lot of unscrupulous marketers of 'hyped up' products, to take advantage of desperate and hopeful women. They employ sneaky advertising tactics that prey on the emotional pain of this large target market - bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars in profits year after year - WITHOUT delivering the promised results...

But even when a lady attempts the 'fitness' approach to cellulite removal - she usually falls victim of simply not being on a cellulite-specific exercise program... Hence perpetuating her constant battle with all the ways her cellulite affects her daily life, attitude and happiness...

If you've "tried everything" with no results to show for your efforts -take a close look at your exercise program (if you are on one right now) and see how you can incorporate the principles of R.E.D.U.C.E. outlined above.

Most of all just be aware that the only way to get rid of the 'orange peel' look of your 'problem zones' is by proper stimulation of the muscles directly beneath your cellulite areas - not with some grueling and sweaty 'bodybuilder' program, not with a topical skin cream and not with a vibrational body-toxin flushing massage session.
