Does Running Reduce Cellulite?
I was talking to my GORGEOUS, thin friend the other day and much to my surprise, she was bemoaning the fact that she no longer feels comfortable wearing a bathing suit in public because of all the cellulite on the back of her legs. Now, M. has an amazing figure and she’s very athletic, but I have to say that her complaint made me feel a little better. I’m pretty thin too – and I’ve been running for a lot of years – but somehow I have still collected that cellulite bumpiness on the backs of my thighs. What IS this stuff, anyway and where does it come from? We’re constantly bombarded with ads for potions, cremes and all manner of devices to rid ourselves of cellulite. The fact of the matter is that the amount of cellulite you have is probably the result of genetics. Running and other forms of aerobic exercise do help, but it takes some time to see any effect. God only knows what my thighs would look like if I didn’t run! And the cremes and potions? Many of them actually swell the tissue
