What is Cellulite and How Can Rebounding Help?

What is Cellulite?

Cellulite is the term used to describe those fats gathered and caused dimpling appearance on the skin. The common areas in the body where it can be found are the hips, the buttocks and the thighs. It is also referred to as the orange peel appearance.

Is Cellulite a medical condition?

Cellulite is actually not a medical condition. It should not be confused with Cellulitis which is a known medical condition, an infection that causes inflammation of the skin?s connective tissues. Cellulite on the other hand, is normal; it does not require medical attention. This only became an issue because of its unsightly look it made on most women. In fact, it was Vogue magazine, a known publication that caters women's fashion that first used the publicized the term Cellulite.

What causes cellulite formation?

There are strands of tissues that are made of fibrous materials that connect the skin to the deeper tissue layers. This creates sections of fat cells. When the fat cells get bigger, it produces bulges, thus the effect of the dimples on the skin. Hormones like estrogen and folliculate play a role in the formation of cellulite. Other causes are the thickness of the skin, the body fat distribution, heredity and age. Being fat does not always mean that the person can have cellulite appearance, even lean or thin people can have it, because it is genetically predetermined.

Why is it common only to women?

The fat layers in women specifically the subcutaneous layer, is arranged in vertical and bigger chambers that makes fat to be easily stored. While in men, the chambers are comparatively smaller and they are arranged in slanting position, thus only a limited room for fats, and as a result only minimal if not seldom, cellulite formations are visible in men. Another reason is that men and women undergo different physical changes in the body. Hormonal imbalances and changes occur in women during stages of puberty, pregnancy and menopause. These hormonal changes that men do not experience, contributes to the accumulation of fats.

How to get rid of cellulite?

Everybody wants a smooth flawless skin, so the ugly sight of cellulites has become a market for beauty products. There are many that claim to be the solution of getting rid of cellulites; a lot have failed to prove their promises. There are food and dietary supplements, body wraps, massage treatments, there are creams that have antioxidants and anti inflammatory ingredients that are effective because they work to stimulate the blood flow. The areas that are prone to be settled by cellulite are oftentimes dry and damaged. Therefore increasing moisture to that affected area could help temporarily decrease cellulite formation. These are only topical solutions. Some women want to make more dramatic solutions like cosmetic surgery. Whatever the preferred solution, it is best to analyze their effects on the body and to study the components of the products. It is important to emphasize that cellulite is a normal condition and it does not need a medical treatment.

Rebounding and Cellulite

Rebounding or bouncing on a mini-trampoline or rebounder such as a Cellerciser is one of the best ways to effectively get rid of your cellulite. An effective rebounding routine will help to stimulate the drainage system of your lymphatic organs allowing the liver, kidneys, and respiratory systems to work harder and better making it easier to remove cellulite from your body. Many people report significant reduction of their cellulite in as little as two to three weeks time following daily rebounding.

Rebound Exercise Recommended Following Weight Loss Surgery

By Amy Birkner


Exercise is important after weight loss surgery for a number of reasons. You will be losing weight rapidly, especially through the first six months. When your body realizes how rapidly your weight is decreasing, it shifts into starvation mode and tries to hold onto your fat as a preventive measure. When this happens, your body will burn muscle mass and keep the stored fat.

In addition, the fat in your body is where all excess hormones, chemicals, etc. is stored, and as this fat is released, your body chemistry changes. That is why it is so important to regularly exercise as soon as your doctor releases you to do so. Your metabolism (rate at which you burn calories) will increase and your body will burn the excess fat and not your lean muscle mass.

Exercise also strengthens your heart (a muscle) and bones, builds more lean muscle, burns calories, increases your metabolism and relieves stress. It also can help to prevent the depression that often follows weight loss surgery. For these reasons, exercise must become a daily routine in your new life.

If you aren't used to exercising, start out slowly after you have consulted your physician.

  • Start with just five minutes per day and keep increasing the time as your strength and endurance increase.
  • Work up to at least 30 to 45 minutes of exercise.
  • You will get the same benefits if you exercise for 10 minutes three times a day, 15 minutes twice a day or 30 minutes once a day.

There are good exercise programs and videos for people who are out of shape and for those who have bad knees or backs. You can exercise in your own home with a rebounder, for example, if you are uncomfortable going to a gym until you lose weight.

One of the best in home products I have found is a top-of-the-line rebounder called the Cellerciser. It is a mini-trampoline / rebounder that is used for various rebounding exercises (it comes with an instruction video and booklet) and can support people of 400 lbs. or more (which is far beyond the weight limits of most exercise equipment!). From their website:

"Cellercise® is a weight bearing exercise without the jarring and damage of most impact aerobic activities. Cellercise® uses vertical movement like weight lifting, push-ups, pulls-ups or sit-ups in a repetitive up and down motion. However, these conventional forms of exercise target and isolate specific muscles or muscle groups. It’s very time consuming and often tears down the body to build it up.

When weight or stress is applied to a muscle, it applies weight or pressure against the cell membrane. Cells increase the amount of protein in their membrane to avoid rupture. As we Cellercise® the cells get bigger and stronger. The movement creates momentum. Acceleration and deceleration create pressure changes within the body and an increased amount of weight against the cell membrane. At the bottom of the bounce, every cell in the body is stimulated, exercised and strengthened. Cellercise® exercises more than just muscles. Every cell is exercised, including internal organs, veins, capillaries, bones, connective tissue and skin. They are toned, cleansed and strengthened.”

As you rebound exercise on the Cellerciser rebounder you will lose more weight because you are burning calories while increasing your metabolism. This is especially important to keep your weight from plateauing, which is a frustrating part of your weight loss journey.

The Cellerciser -- The Best Rebounder to Lose Weight

Imagine being on your Cellerciser rebounder in front of your television, on the telephone, at the office or in the mountains while shedding pounds, building muscle, strengthening bones, toning the body, improving the immune system and overall health of your body without working at it.

Some things just sound too good to be true.

Actually, you really don't need to sweat or change your clothes while rebounding on your easy-bounce Cellerciser. This rebounder is just THAT good.

The word is getting out that Cellercise is a fun program that can be done at all ages. To thousands, it is the best way to lose weight.

It redefines exercise.

It makes reaching your fitness goals and desires entirely within the realm of possibility.

In fact, you really don't have to work hard at it, but it works hard for you and the benefits can be felt in just 10 minutes a day!

Yes, you heard right -- David Hall's Cellercise program takes 10 minutes a day.

It stimulates, circulates, strengthens and improves the efficiency of body parts and functions.

It doesn't lift weight away from gravity, it actually increases the weight of gravity by applying weight to every muscle over 100 times a minute.

Welcome to a whole new methodology of exercise called Cellercise!

You might think that this is "too good to be true."

We're not asking for a "leap of faith" here.

Rather, just read about it.

Check out and read from the many articles found on our website.

Do your research.

After reading, ask yourself if what we're talking about makes sense.

Then experience it for yourself!

The Cellerciser® is arguably the best built piece of exercise equipment around and certainly the finest rebounder/ mini-trampoline in the world. It has been called the "Holy Grail of Exercise".

Rebounding is on fire again as one of the hot fitness programs thanks in large part to David Hall who you'll learn more about below.

Buying a rebounder / mini-trampoline is a great idea, but it is important to remember that all rebounders are not made alike. A great many rebounders use weak steel springs, or bungee cords causing sinking and pronation of feet and knees which can cause back and other serious medical problems.

Many rebounders "talk the talk" but few can actually "bounce the bounce" so to speak. Some rebounder brands are not even close in quality.

I strongly encourage you to read on right here on this page to learn more about this incredible Cellerciser® rebounder!

Using it just 10 minutes a day can change your life for the better!

Resolve to achieve your fitness goals by having fun bouncing on the Cellerciser® rebounder!

To Better Health for All of Us!
