Here is a review from a customer:
Joey Atlas is a well respected personal trainer who specializes in helping women get into tip-top shape. As most women are all too aware of, cellulite on the back of the thighs and glutes is an issue for a large percentage of women, and is at the top of most women’s lists of things they’d like to improve. Atlas has worked with thousands of women over the years, and after a lot of trial and error has come up with a program designed specifically to attack cellulite and diminish its appearance. The program consists of an exercise program lasting 24 days, with each day’s workout taking about 20 minutes to complete. At the end of the 24 days the appearance of cellulite should be dramatically reduced if not eliminated altogether.
Cellulite: A Women’s Curse
Given the struggles women face with cellulite these claims are pretty hard to believe. There are all sorts of topical creams and cosmetic procedures designed to treat cellulite, and very few have ever been shown to provide real, lasting results. Cellulite, contrary to popular belief, is not a type of fat, but an issue that has to do with the connective tissue beneath the skin.
Men vs. Women
You might be wondering why cellulite affect woman much more than men; and the answer has everything to do with this connective tissue. In men the connective tissue is arranged in a cross hatch pattern to form a smooth, continuous layer. In women, on the other hand, the connective tissue forms vertical bands called septae that leave small gaps where no connective tissue lies between the subcutaneous fat and the layer of outer dermis. These gaps are what lead to the appearance of dimples or “cottage cheese” referred to as cellulite.
Young vs. Old
There is also a specific reason that cellulite is more prevalent in older women, and relatively rare in young girls. In a woman’s youth, her connective tissue is strong, supple and flexible, and tends to hold together and prevent subcutaneous fat from slipping through the gaps. Once puberty hits, hormonal changes affect the connective tissue, causing it to lose elasticity and stiffen. As women age the connective tissue ages as well, leaving bigger and more prominent gaps for the fat to slip through.
Joey Atlas’s Solution
The author takes a unique approach to helping women get rid of their cellulite. It doesn’t involve topical creams or laser treatments—but instead relies upon improving the tonus of the muscle tissue beneath the cellulite to diminish its appearance.
It’s impossible to actually get rid of cellulite, or at least to get rid of the weakened connective tissue that makes it visible. What makes the appearance of cellulite more noticeable is the fact that there is not enough muscle tissue beneath it to support the fatty tissue, so it essentially sinks and presses on the skin between the layers of connective tissue.
“The Truth About Cellulite” program focuses on building and toning the muscles beneath the cellulite (the gluteus and hamstring muscles) and reduce the subcutaneous fat on top of them to eradicate the appearance of cellulite.
The workout routine you’ll follow with the program can be done in 15-25 minutes per day, and follows the REDUCE principles listed below:
REDUCE
- Replace machine and free weight exercise with body weight exercises.
- Emphasize the contraction by performing each repetition n a slow and controlled manner.
- Don't fall for the more is better approach, as this can actually hinder results.
- Utilize the furniture and items in your home in your workouts—no gym required.
- Concentrate on reducing the rest period between sets to no more than 20 seconds.
- Expect reduction in the appearance of cellulite within two to three weeks.
These are the principles that this breakthrough program is built on—and what makes it so effective. If you've been struggling with unsightly cellulite without getting the results you’re after, stop buying the latest cellulite creams when they come out and start using an exercise based approach that really works. You’ll earn your results with sweat and hard work—but in the end it will be well worth it!
