Weleda Active Program — Step 3
Regular sports and exercise
In the 3rd step of our Active Program, we show you how sports and fitness exercises accompany you on the way to smooth, beautiful skin.
- Walk! Avoid using the bus or train as much as possible or get off one stop earlier.
- Don't skip any stairs! Climbing stairs trains leg and gluteal muscles and tightens connective tissue.
- Get out into nature! Walks in nature relax the body and mind and provide more movement.
- Gymnastics and targeted exercises against cellulite strengthen the joints, stimulate circulation, and build muscles. This, in turn, increases your body's energy expenditure and burns calories.
Ideal sports for a toned body
To burn body fat, you should move continuously for at least 45 minutes, as the body mainly taps into carbohydrate reserves during the first 30 minutes and does not draw energy from its fat deposits.
With these sports, you get your metabolism going and improve the appearance of cellulite:
- Walking: Fast walking, which is more intense than strolling.
- Jogging: Running with a constant rhythm, suitable for those who have more endurance.
- Swimming: Gentle movement in the water. Additionally, the water pressure acts like an activating lymphatic drainage.
- Cycling: In an upright position like on a trekking bike, in low gears with high frequency.
