5 Things: Cellulite

Celeb trainer Jillian Michaels is no stranger to cellulite. And neither is starlet Kim Kardashian . In fact it is estimated that between 80 to 95 percent of women have cellulite somewhere on their body. If you have been worrying about of bit of dimpling on your backside, fear not, because you are not alone. Here are five things I think you should know about cellulite. From a purely medical standpoint cellulite doesn’t exist; it is nothing more than fat. The word cellulite is French and was first used in medical literature around 150 years ago. Cellulite is more prominent in women than in men due to the structural differences of stored fat between the sexes. The connective tissues that create these storage units in men works on diagonals, where as we lucky ladies store our fat in a large vertical honeycomb like structure. This structural form enhances the appearance of the dimples. Here’s the bad news – there is no way to get rid of cellulite.

78-Year-Old Nun Trains Daily For Many Triathlons

This is one sister act that would be tough to follow. With more than 320 triathlons under her belt - 40 of which were Ironman-class events - 78-year-old Sister Madonna Buder is truly something special. This 5′7″, 115-pound energizer nun told ABC News , “Well, you know, as long as God is giving you your health, there’s no reason to stop.” Remarkably, Buder began running at age 47 when a priest suggested she try it for spiritual enrichment, and five years later she added swimming and cycling to her athletic acumen. Following her own advice to “never give up and never slow down,” Buder schedules her seven-days-a-week training regimen around working at her church. You don’t have to wear a habit to get into this healthy one. Get inspired by this incredibly dedicated nun and triathlete when you watch her in action.
