What can I do about saddlebags?

1. What are saddlebags?

Saddlebags refer to fat that is stored on the top sides of the thighs and hips. If you have saddlebags, then rest assured, you are not alone! Many women naturally store fat in this area. If this is bothersome to you, there are ways to improve their appearance, through lifestyle changes and specialised skincare. Read on!

2. Work on your lifestyle.

Although diet is not the primary cause of saddlebags, it can exacerbate them and potentially even slow down the process of diminishing their appearance, if this is your goal. Choose healthy foods that are low in processed sugar and bad fats. Consider adding cardio workouts to your schedule, try: speed walking, running or cycling. Aim to complete workouts and exercises that target your bottom and thighs. There's no quick-fix cheat here, you have to move your body thoroughly and regularly as part of your healthy lifestyle.

3. Use a targeted skin care product.

In addition to a healthy diet and cardio, treat yourself to a daily massage with Body Fit, an anti-cellulite cream gel packed with Quince Leaf, Celosia, Baccharis, organic Water Mint and Blue Button flower extracts to reduce the appearance of cellulite and firm up skin. Over the weeks, the “orange peel” appearance may be diminished, helping your body to look toned and sculpted.
