I decided to punish myself again – in a good way! I borrowed Prevention Fitness Systems – Fight Cellulite Fast! from the library again. It’s a DVD with with a killer workout led by a bionic woman, Chris Freytag.

The first time I worked out to the DVD, I couldn’t get through all of the exercises and afterwards I couldn’t walk for three days. See the post where I first wrote about my experience with that workout: http://mycellulitewar.com/2009/03/18/exercises_cellulite_reduction/exercise-for-cellulite-reduction-prevention-fitness-systems-fight-cellulite-fast/

In any case, this time through the workout, I did most of the cardio portion and I was able to keep up through most of the leg exercises. Big difference from the first time that I followed along where I had to stop through the leg exercises.

I’m still not crazy about the cardio portion simply because I’m not that coordinated and its frustrating for me to follow along, but that’s just me.

The leg workout is awesome and I swear that afterward my cellulite and saddlebags actually looked better. Is that possible? Maybe all of the blood flowing to that area helps to smooth things out. Come to think of it, much that I’ve read on cellulite treatment has to do with increasing blood flow to the affected areas, so there’s probably something to it. Also, it seems as though the more I build my leg muscles, the more the cellulite seems to compress itself against my skin from the inside out, thus flattening out. The leg muscles are taking up more space between the available area between skin and bone and kind of squishing the cellulite. Don’t get me wrong, I still have it, but when just looking in the mirror, I swear it looks a little better.

Also, more good news is that after the workout, I could walk the next day – imagine that! I only had minor muscle soreness. That makes me feel good that I’ve improved that much.

So, if you’re looking for a good leg workout for cellulite, I’d definitely recommend this DVD Prevention Fitness Systems – Fight Cellulite Fast!.

It’s not for the faint at heart so be prepared!
