CELLULITE ACTION PLAN: PRIMARY AND SECONDARY ACTIVITIES
Choose two types of exercises or activities, (1) your primary activity – where you exercise for fitness, and (2) your secondary activity – which is a passive exercise.
• Primary activity
As a primary activity you may choose something like walking, jogging, swimming, exercise or weight training. Do that primary activity three times a week, every week.
After a while you should become quite expert in this area. Such activities will certainly contribute to getting your muscular system toned up, as well as getting your heart-lung system working better. More important is that this physical activity is your nominated number one way to lose cellulite.
Be sure to pick an activity that suits your style, with pleasant companions. Exercising in a fitness centre doesn’t suit everybody. Neither does swimming. Choose something you enjoy.
This doesn’t mean you’ve got to reach high activity levels every day. It just means the activities that you do should be done on a regular basis.
• Secondary activity
Your secondary activity might be something you do once or twice a week: shopping, housework, walking the dog, playing golf, gardening, yoga, T’ai Chi. (They are all worthwhile activities if you ‘push yourself when doing them. Their exercise value is important, though secondary.) If you are doing good primary work, your secondary activities will never tire you.
Choose something that you can learn to love – not a hobby that involves sitting at a desk pasting stamps into albums, but one that involves getting out and bushwalking, or bird watching (that’s a form of bush walking), or a passive sport like golf, fishing, bowls or gardening. In fact, anything that gets you out and about.
One person attending a weight loss program told me that after a few weeks the garden had never looked better and she was watching much less television. She loved gardening, and chose to spend one hour a day in the garden as her physical exercise.
