Well it’s just fat, nothing special about it at all except it is what we call “static fat” which unlike “dynamic fat” that is in areas of our body which have high natural circulation, and this “static fat” is in areas where it has natural low circulation. This allows the fat to not only be hardly ever used as energy, which is why even intensive exercise sometimes makes no difference to its appearance, much to the frustration of the person working hard lose it.
Furthermore, from long periods of time of no stimulation it “clumps” together. That combined with thinner skin and filling up those fat cells you can actually see the clumps of fat. This can happen on many areas of the body and not just in women.
How does Power plate solve the problem?
Well in a number of ways, as cellulite is not just one thing that goes wrong, it is a collection of small things that cause it to appear.
- No weight bearing exercise
- Low circulation
- Low or imbalanced hormonal levels
- Inactive muscles
The science bit…
The intense short burst of movement and pressure in the muscles you get during vibration training creates an anabolic effect, in other words your muscles cells try to replicate, making them stronger for your next workout. This drives to create more cells raises your hormonal level, especially your GHG (human growth hormone) and testosterone.
A raise in these hormones means thicker and healthier skin which is less likely to allow cellulite to show through. Testosterone also promotes circulation which as you will find out plays an important part in Estrogens dominance, which can cause fluid retention in the skin and cause fat cells to suck up large amounts of fluid (its called your “fat days”) This can also be balanced out by exercise and release internal pressure within the skin itself.
Now the replication of those muscles cells plays a VERY important part in emptying fat cells their stored energy, this helps with body fat% loss and changes to your BMR (metabolic rate) which allows your body to burn more calories even while you sleep.
Lymphatic fluid
“low circulation areas” does not just mean blood, it also means all fluids. Any fluid left sitting in one place to long from lack of stimulation will coagulate (not just blood), causing not only other fluids to build up in the area (fluid retention), but will actually stop blood from entering the area, as we all know blood moves away from pressure points, not towards them. This leads to a pretty bad downward spiral. More fluid retention = more internal pressure around the fat cells, which leads to less blood flow.
