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.

Your anti-cellulite workout for home

Exercise 1: Shape buttocks and thighs

Lying on your back. Legs bent, feet hip-width apart. Move the buttocks as far as possible towards the back of the knees. Hold the tension at the highest point and rhythmically increase it about 10 to 20 times. Repeat 3x.
Lying on your back. Slightly bend the left leg, heel on the floor, toes up. Pull the right leg towards the chest and hold, press the left heel down with pelvic floor strength. Hold the tension for a moment and release. Repeat about 10 to 20 times, then switch sides.

Exercise 2: Tighten thighs

Sitting on heels. Knees hip-width apart, arms stretched upwards. Squeeze the buttocks and rhythmically move the torso up and down about ten centimeters from the pelvic floor. Repeat about 10 to 20 times.
Sitting on heels. Legs as wide open as possible. Slightly lift the buttocks, squeeze them together, and then move them in an arc forward towards the abdomen. Relax briefly and repeat about 10 to 20 times.

Exercise 3: Stretch legs

Upright sitting posture. Right leg extended, left leg bent. With the right hand supported behind the body, grasp the right foot on the outside with the left hand. Tighten the buttocks and pull back, straighten the back, fully extend the right leg. Hold the tension for about half a minute. Switch sides.
Upright sitting posture. Keep the left leg fully bent. Right leg in a slightly bent position, foot up. Press the heel down vigorously about 10 to 20 times. Switch sides.

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.
