As we continue to prepare you for summer, today we want to offer four massage roller exercises that will improve the condition of your skin and help get rid of the unpleasant "orange peel". If cellulite doesn't bother you, try these exercises anyway, as they improve blood flow to your thighs and arms and tone muscles clogged after exercise.

As "" writes, cellulite is dystrophic changes in the subcutaneous fat layer, leading to a violation of blood microcirculation and lymph outflow.

To get rid of it, you need, firstly, to revise your diet, and secondly, to improve blood circulation and thoroughly work out the areas of the body with tubercles with a deep massage. This process is quite painful, so not everyone goes to a special massage.

These four exercises with an ordinary massage roll will relax muscles and ligaments after training, improve blood circulation and saturate the blood with oxygen, which means they will help get rid of cellulite and make the skin smooth and elastic.

Exercise 1. Massage the back of the thighs

How it works? Breaks and smoothes tough, thick and congested tissue in the upper back of the thighs.

Performance. Sit on the floor with your legs extended forward. Then lift your buttocks and place the massage roller under the top of the back of your thighs (this is where the legs begin). Hands should rest on the floor just behind you, fingers pointing towards your back. Transfer the weight to your hands, pressing on the palms in order to raise the body off the floor, and begin to move the body back and forth so that the entire back of the thighs rolls over the roll. Repeat this movement at least 10 times.

Exercise 2. Massage the outer thighs

How it works? This exercise reduces the volume of the thighs by not allowing the fluid to stagnate, and also smooths out the thickening of the connective tissue.

Performance. Lie on your right side and place the massage roller under your thigh. In this case, the right leg should remain extended. To maintain balance and use as a lever, bend your left leg and place it on the floor in front of you. Raise your torso, leaning on a straightened right hand, the left hand lightly touches the floor for safety. Begin to move your body up and down so that the roller rolls over the entire outer surface of your right thigh. Repeat the exercise 10 times and change legs.

Exercise 3. Massage the upper arm

How it works? Increases the tone of the triceps, stimulating the work of the lymph nodes under the armpits and helping to get rid of toxins. It also makes the upper arm less "jelly" both in appearance and in the touch.

Performance. Lie on your right side and place the roller under your right mouse so that it lies perpendicular to your arm. With your left hand, rest on the floor to maintain balance, stretch your right leg, bend your left at the knee. Start rolling your arm over the roll towards the elbow and back to the armpit. Do the exercise 10 times and then change your hand.

Exercise 4. Massage the lateral surface of the buttocks

How it works? Reduces the thickness of the connective tissue in the buttocks.

Performance. Sit on the massage roller, put your feet on the floor, rest your palms on the floor behind the roller, bend your legs, press your knees together. Now bend your knees to the right and try to touch the floor. Return to the starting position and tilt your legs to the left side, again trying to touch the floor with your knees. Repeat these rolls 8-10 times. Make sure to roll over your glutes, not your lower back.
