Get your heart rate up to quite a high level. The fastest way is through interval training.
Two hundred and twenty (220) minus ^our age is your maximum heart rate. You should work at about 75% of that. (See chart)
Interval training boosts your metabolism very quickly.
• Warm up for about 10 minutes doing a cardio-routine on an exercise bike or a treadmill.
• Then go into short spurts of exercise where you are really working very hard. So hard that if someone were to talk to you, you wouldn’t be able to answer. But only do this for 20 seconds. The biggest gains are produced by exercise involving a series of high intensity bursts of 20 to 30 seconds each, with only 10 to 15 seconds easy pace between bursts.
• Then give yourself a good 10 to 15 second break, where you might even slow right down to zero if need be – and get your breath back.
• Then do another short spurt of interval framing and – depending on your level of fitness – do another, and another and another… always taking a break between each.
• Finish off by going for a walk on a treadmill, a bike ride or a row. Do it at a very manageable level.
That interval training boosts your call for oxygen. It makes the heart pump quite hard. You’re lifting the circulation – which is great because it’s the circulation that’s going to get the cellulite moving.
When you combine interval training with a proper diet your metabolism is just ‘chewing up’ the cellulite! Your body takes care of lots of things, but you’ve got to get it moving for it to do so.
For those dedicated to a strong effort, I recommend an exercise session incorporating one hour per day interval training.
Later you might condense that energy into 20-minute interval training sessions. If so, you should do a 10-minute warm up and then 20-30 seconds hard/10-15 seconds easy pace repeated up to 15 times.
Do something that’s manageable at first, then go for the short fast spurts and get your results.
It goes without saying that for safety and sanity’s sake you should not make exercise a ‘near death’ experience. Get a medical check-up first. Keep this in mind: the idea is to be able to progress from exercise session to exercise session. Always leave a little in reserve for next time.
