3 Simple Tricks To Get Rid Of Cellulite For Good

3 Simple Tricks To Get Rid Of Cellulite For Good

Most women have the misfortune of developing cellulite at some point in their lives. A woman’s body is genetically prone to the development of these unsightly, lumpy deposits of fat beneath the skin. Exercise alone does little to alleviate cellulite, and requires continuous dedication to maintain results. Once the exercise is discontinued, the cellulite will come right back. However, there are a few ways to go about decreasing the dimpling appearance of cellulite, which do not involve hours at the gym, expensive creams or liposuction. Here are 3 tips to get rid of cellulite that will actually work.

improve circulation1) Improve Circulation

Few people realize that cellulite is directly related to blood circulation. When cellulite is deposited as small fat pockets underneath the skin, those areas no longer receive proper blood flow. This allows for toxins to begin accumulating in the body.

Proper circulation is essential for everything from cardiovascular health to the growth of hair and fingernails. To work on improving the circulation, make sure to move every day. This is not referring to vigorous training sessions at the gym in at attempt to rid the body of cellulite, but rather good old fashioned exercise. Get the blood moving and heart pumping by adding daily walking, jogging, cycling, or any other physical activity. Deep breathing exercises are also beneficial and will get the blood flowing. Thirty minutes of vigorous cardiovascular activity three times per week is recommended for purposes of improving circulation and helping to get rid of cellulite.

Aside from working on improving circulation from the inside, you can also target areas of cellulite where you see it occurring. Rubbing, massaging, brushing, or scrubbing the cellulite can be done for a period of fifteen minutes using a skin stimulator or medium bristle brush. This combats cellulite by increasing the flow of blood to that area, and skin should appear a healthy pink color when finished. By stimulating the areas of cellulite in this manner, it allows the blood vessels on the surface to help clear any clogged or damaged tissues and allow toxins to be released, this improving the appearance of cellulite.

L-Arginine_Now_Foods2) Proper Nutrition

The second of the 3 tips to get rid of cellulite is proper nutrition, knowing what to eat and what not to eat to help reduce cellulite. Some foods we eat can actually contribute to the formation of cellulite, while others help prevent or remove it. Nutrition plays a role in how our blood forms and circulates through the body. If certain foods act to thicken the blood, this will hamper proper circulation. Therefore, it is important to includes healthy foods that naturally thin the blood and keep it flowing freely.

Important foods to include in your diet to help combat cellulite include Omega-3 fatty acids found in flax seeds and fish, and blood thinning foods such as cayenne pepper, ginger, and garlic .Foods such as nuts, oatmeal,green vegetables, and dairy products contain L-Arginine, a natural vasodilator that improves circulation. Eating these foods will help the body eliminate accumulations of cellulite.

Omega3_in_fish3) Reduce Fluid Retention

Chronic fluid retention is another factor that contributes to cellulite development. You can help reduce fluid retention and improve the appearance of cellulite by eating foods rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, and phytonutrients, high in protein, and Omega-3. Avoiding trans fats and saturated fats, sugar, and unnecessary chemical exposure or medications will help in the battle against cellulite.

Jack3d And OxyElite Ordered Destroyed by FDA

Jack3d pre workout

As I’ve mentioned before, 10in30 Fitness friends, be careful with those pre-workout supplements. Most rely on heavy stimulants like caffeine that increase your heart rate radically.

Taking 2-3 times the caffeine of a strong cup of coffee in one shot is just stupid. You are putting fitness in front of health, when it should be the other way around. You should strive for health by way of fitness, but the progress of your muscularity or general physique should not compromise health. You might as well take steroids if you truly don’t care about your health and only care about getting “jacked”.

As it turns out, USP Labs’ Jack3D contains a stimulant called “dimethylamylamine” (DMAA). This stimulant is dangerous when taken with caffeine which Jack3D happens to contain.

 

 

OxyElite ProIt’s so dangerous that two soldiers died of heart attacks in February 2012 after taking a DMAA supplement and a few months ago, Todd Battuello, a 34 year old healthy, fit man who lived in West Chester, Philadelphia. He was taking USP Labs’ other DMAA laced supplement, OxyELITE Pro.

The FDA ordered that all supplement manufacturers of DMAA supplements destroy the products but sources are conflicted. Some say USP Labs, the makers of Jack3D refused to destroy it and still sell it, while others say they obliged and destroyed it.

Excerps:

“The stimulant DMAA is not a proper amphetamine, but the FDA warns people of the extreme health risks associated with its consumption. Manufacturers claim the stimulant is all-natural, likening it to caffeine; however, the FDA claims it can “elevate blood pressure and lead to cardiovascular problems ranging from shortness of breath and tightening in the chest to heart attack,” according to a recent statement.

The products’ manufacturer, USPlabs of Dallas, priced the supplements at an $8 million retail value. USPlabs has agreed to stop manufacturing products that contain DMAA, as the stimulant is illegal in American-made supplements.”

Risky Supplements Jack3d And OxyElite Voluntarily Destroyed, Following FDA Crackdown On DMAA Products : Consumer News : Medical Daily.

Diet supplements to blame in West Chester man’s death?

L-arginine

10in30 Recommends:

If you’d like a “pump” for your workout and are looking for a pre-workout boost, I highly recommend getting the natural amino acid L-arginine. It’s the N.O. booster that is used in most popular pre-workout supplements. Other than L-arginine, they contain a cocktail of stimulants from caffeine to guarana and similar natural stimulants that you don’t need. If you’d like some caffeine which is usually safe when used in limited amounts, try a cup of coffee or a couple of shots of espresso, one half hour before your workout.

If you’ve developed a tolerance to caffeine and a cup of coffee will not give you any noticeable energy, then I suggest bringing your tolerance back down to human levels by having much less caffeine throughout the day; saving it for the half hour before workout time. In a week or two, you will appreciate and look forward to that one cup of coffee in the evening before working out.

According to WebMD:

“L-arginine is converted in the body into a chemical called nitric oxide. Nitric oxide causes blood vessels to open wider for improved blood flow. L-arginine also stimulates the release of growth hormone, insulin, and other substances in the body.”

WebMD also says it’s “possibly effective” for:

“…when used with hydroxymethylbutyrate (HMB) and glutamine. This combination seems to increase body weight, particularly lean body mass, and improve the immune system.”

Kill Cancer with the Ketogenic Diet?

(from cbn News – link at bottom)

After being diagnosed with metastatic cancer and given only three months to live, Dr. Fred Hatfield turned to the Keto diet and succeeded in removing cancer from his body.

“The cancer was gone!” he exclaimed. “Completely. To this day there’s no trace of it. And it’s been over a year.”

Apparently, cancer cells need carbohydrates to live as all cells do. But when you are on a keto diet (no carbs or very few carbs), normal cells turn to the next source of energy—fat, or “ketones” when you are on the keto diet. Cancer cells, however, cannot turn to another source for energy. They are defective in this way, and therefore cannot survive without carbohydrates.

Dr. Hatfield went on the keto diet, and effectively killed off the very cells that were trying to kill him. He won.

This is not an isolated case, either. A team of scientists at the University of South Florida lead by Dr. Dominic D’Agostino is conducting research in metabolic therapy and the idea of starving cancer cells by depriving them of carbohydrates. They have seen this kind of success many times with lab mice as well as human beings.

Here at 10in30 Fitness we are excited about these findings as we are all about research and trying the latest methods of health and fitness. If we were not already excited about the keto diet and it’s virtually miraculous effects on body composition, we are truly in awe now.

Not only will you lower your body fat drastically, but it looks like you will also prevent cancer cells from growing and even kill those that might be already present.

Jungle Gym Bicep/Tricep Blasters!

Bored of your gym routine? Arms stop growing? Try the 10in30

Jungle Gym Bicep and Tricep Blasters!

Build big bad biceps and trump truly tremendous triceps! Take a break from dumbbells, leave the barbell at the gym, forget cables and curl machines. You’re going to use something that weighs WAY MORE:

YOUR BIG OLE SELF!

You’ll be using your own bodyweight to blast the heck out of your upper arms and get a pump like no other. That’s because you’ll do dropsets of both bicep curls and tricep extensions with more weight than you normally curl and press with your triceps. How are you going to do that, you ask?

Your lats are going to help out a bit in order to allow your biceps and triceps to lift more weight, namely YOUR bodyweight. That’s right, the lats will assist both the biceps during curls and the triceps during extensions. In fact, you will see some swelling on your lats as well.

So get yourself a Jungle Gym suspension system and do THIS:

So that you don’t have to lower the handles for triceps after you do curls like I did, (tri’s are stronger than bi’s) just keep the handles at the same height for both sets but be sure to start really low so that your triceps get a damn good workout in the first few sets. It might be too hard for your bicep curls, so use more of a rowing motion, putting your back into it and bringing your elbows back behind you a bit. Don’t row too much, only as much as you need to finish your 6 reps. Cool?

“So how many reps? How many sets? Alternating? Back to back? What will I do???”

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL DO, BIFF!

If you are already a premium member, simply go to the premium Workout of the Week 666 page. If you haven’t chosen your user name, check your email for the 10in30 Welcome message with the subscribers only link to choose a username. Once you choose your username, you’ll have access to 10in30 Premium like this workout, charts, and the member forum where you can ask questions and connect with others doing the same workouts.

Why do I recommend the Jungle Gym vs the TRX suspensions system? Because it costs only $50 compared to $100 or more. See THIS PAGE for my writeup on the many exercises you can do with it.

Guest post: Building Mass on a Budget

This week, we have a guest poster to the 10in30 Blog; Mr. Simon Jurkiw –  a renowned performance nutritionist, who has previously written for or been featured on Men’s Health, Metro, WebMD, Fighter’s Only and AskMen, as well as appearing on MTV and Absolute Radio. He’s currently Product Director at Bulk Powders, after 8 years at Maximuscle, and is also Olympic Gold winning boxer James DeGale’s nutritionist.

Simon talks about building mass on a budget:

GET BUFF FOR CHEAPWe all know how tricky burning the fat can be, but what people often forget is the hill on the other side – turning all that hard work into muscle. Maybe you are in the situation where you’re looking for a diet to help you pile on the muscle. There are plenty of diets around, but they’re pretty costly, right?

It would be nice to have the luxury of eating pounds and pounds of organic chicken every day, but with bills to pay it simply is not practical. Well it doesn’t have to be like that. With a bit of savvy thinking and careful planning your wallet won’t be taking a massive hit – you’ll be getting massive!

 

 

 

 

 

bacon and eggsEggs are your friend

There isn’t a better source of straight-up protein than eggs. A pack of 18 shouldn’t set you back too much, and cracking a few into an omelette is a great way to start the day. Don’t be afraid to use a couple of yolks either.

 

 

 

coconutoil2Coconut oil

Building muscle is not about eating a lot, it’s about eating the right foods. Make sure you are getting enough of the right sort of fats into your diet and staying away from the trans and hydrogenated fats. Coconut Oil impresses, containing zero trans-fatty acids, and is packed with ‘good fats’ such as medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) and lauric acid. These kinds of fats are great for hormone production that helps with muscle growth. And remember – a lot of essential vitamins and minerals are fat soluble only.

Diets with less than 15-25% fat are likely to leave you hungry, unsatisfied and actually more likely to overeat in the long run. If you are finding your meals dry and limp, adding coconut oil is a healthy way to liven up your food and add a nice bit of flavour.

 

ultra-whey-protein-isolate-97Whey protein

As well as eating food on a budget, there are plenty of affordable nutritional supplements that are great for setting you on the path to bulking up.  With a good training program and a proper diet, many expensive supplements simply won’t add enough to make it worth the cost. By sticking with core, cheaper supplements such as whey protein and creatine monohydrate, you will have a solid, reliable addition to your diet.

 

 

 

 

Butter those peanuts

Peanuts are a great source of healthy fat, but don’t forget peanut butter as a healthy and convenient way of getting them into your system.

peanut butter sandwichIdeally, peanut butter should contain just one ingredient – peanuts. However, don’t be afraid of brands with a little peanut oil added, or salt. But, as with most foods, steer clear of added sugar and chase down natural products to really make the most of the polyunsaturated oil. A couple of pounds a jar will go a long way, and can be added to anything from toast and bagels to your morning bowl of porridge. Oh, and speaking of porridge…

 

 

oats-and-bananaProtein oats are just right

The age-old tried and tested bowl of oats and milk is a cheap, reliable meal to get you going at any time of the day. Their low glycemic index makes oats a slow-burning carbohydrate and an ideal fuel for the body. A big bag of decent oats can be very affordable, and makes for a perfect bodybuilding breakfast if coupled with superfoods like almonds, flax seed and hazelnuts.

Inside the Mind of a Porn Star

10in30 readers, have you ever wondered how people in the porn industry live? First of all, you know they are pretty fit and they take great care of their bodies since their entire body will be exposed and their livelihood depends on it.

Would you be offended if a scout gave you a card and said you have the body to be in porn, or would you be secretly proud?

Porn performers (not necessarily stars) have the reputation of being abused as youths, full of mental issues, and not very happy; at least that’s the reputation the women have. Do you think current porn performers are happier than average or less happy than average. The truth might surprise you…

from menshealth.com

Think porn stars have all the fun in the sack? You may be right.

James Deen, on the set of The Canyons

Not only do male porn stars have a higher enjoyment of sex, they also have higher levels of self-esteem, says a new report published in the International Journal of Sexual Health. Researchers analyzed over 200 men—half were porn actors, half were not—to compare sexual activity, drug use, self-esteem, quality of life, and their attitudes toward sex.

Although the male porn actors were more likely to have used drugs and lose their virginity at an earlier age, the data still showed those in porn had higher quality-of-life indicators.

But the life of a porn star may not be as bizarre and out of control as the rest of us assume it is. So Men’s Health decided to catch up with James Deen, porn star and male lead in the 2013 film The Canyons, to get a better idea of what goes on behind the scenes when someone has sex for a living.

MH: For starters, how does a guy get into porn? What brought you to the industry?

James Deen: I entered the industry when I was 18. [Ed note: Deen is 27 now.] But for as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to do porn. Not kidding, when I was in elementary school, we were going around the classroom talking about what we wanted to do when we grew up—and I said I wanted to do porn. Back then my teachers just thought I was being disruptive, not kidding, they sent me to the principal’s office! But that’s actually what I wanted to do. Once I discovered it, porn was always my aspiration.

MH: So now that your dreams have come true, how often do you have sex?

Deen: At least once a day, usually more.

MH: We’ll need a bit more detail than that. What’s your average day look like?

Deen: I wake up around 6:30 in the morning, and typically get straight to work on answering emails, writing blog posts, and responding to comments on my site. After a few hours of that, I usually run around the kitchen like a mad man because, thanks to sitting in front of my computer all morning, I forgot to eat food. After that, I jump in the shower and then go to the set.

Once I’m there, I do some paperwork, meet my partner—and usually the partners already know each other because it’s a small industry. I discuss the scene with the director, and then head to the studio. The girls get done up to shoot their promo photos, I get my wardrobe on, and once we’re done with all that, we start doing the scene.

MH: It’s that simple?

Deen: Pretty much. Once the director tells you what type of scene you’re doing, they just film you doing your thing. After the scene we shower off, hang out for a bit, maybe grab some food. I usually get home between the hours of 6 and 9 p.m. Once I’m home, I’ll try to get some of my side projects done if I have the time. I pretty much go all day until I’m out of steam and literally have to lie down for the night.

MH: So what’s one of the biggest misconceptions people have about porn?

Deen: People need to realize, porn is not real. Porn is entertainment. It’s a movie being made to arouse the viewer. Therefore, people should not be having sex the way people have sex in pornos. Well, I suppose if you want to have insane, porno-style sex that’s fine. But the length of time that we have sex, the amount of positions we go through, the way we pose for the camera—stuff like that—it all happens a specific way for film. So porn shouldn’t be the model that you mold your sex life after.
