Combating cellulite on the Power Plate®

Cellulite is the dimpling of skin caused by enlarged fatty cells underneath the surface. It appears in both men and women, but more commonly in women because of their greater levels of body fat. Although its causes are not fully understood, hormones, genetics, diet and lifestyle are all considered contributory factors.

Some of these factors are out of our control (we can’t choose our parents) but there are others we can do something about. While studies so far have not found any treatment which definitively removes cellulite, there is evidence to suggest that the appearance of cellulite can be reduced, particularly through good dietary habits and exercise.

The BodySmart™ class is a 25-minute instructor-led session on a Power Plate® machine whose vibration increases the efficacy of the exercises.

Exercising on the Power Plate® two to three times a week has been shown to improve muscle tone and reduce cellulite.
