what influencers DON’T show you #shorts

A reminder that social media is not reality! I'll always try to be as real as possible with y'all. Yes, I workout and I'm "fit" but damn right I still have cellulite!! I'M HUMAN! 👏 #fitness #selflove #weightloss

Cellulite is not an indication of health or even body fat percentage! The reason why women will always have it is simple: right under our skin is a crisscrossing web of fibrous connective tissue and because females tend to have softer and thinner skin than males you can see the underlying structure. There is no "cure" because it's completely normal. Things like dry brushing, massage and topical treatments can help reduce the visibility because they increase circulation to the area and "plump" the skin so it doesn't sink as much into the grooves. For my job I see naked bodies every day and even the fittest and skinniest of my clients have visible cellulite. Hope this helps anyone who's discouraged be a little bit more kind to themselves.

You need to give yourself a HUGE pat on the back for this one, girl!!! You have just helped sooo many people! You are definitely and obviously beautiful and fit, but youre also REAL! Thanks a million :)

Damn I needed this today. Thank you so much. It gets so discouraging sometimes when you’re working out and working out and feel like you’re not getting closer to the “perfect” you’re chasing. And it feels like somehow other people got there. My cellulite is one of my biggest insecurities and it’s nice to have it normalized. Thank you.

The human body isn't meant to look like a Greek statue. It stretches, moves and sags. People are way too hard on themselves. Developing Fibromyalgia really put things in perspective for me. I care now more about my health than I do what I look like. I am welcoming the gray hairs and wrinkles and thank God for every moment of life He gives me.

What a great role model you are, Maddie. You are the best.

thank you for showing this! the internet has ruined so many young minds and enforced unrealistic body standards.

Thank you SO much for posting this! There is too much unhealthy 'perfection' around, but in reality there is NO such thing as the airbrushed perfection we see online ❤️

Ilysm for that. When I do your dance workouts, I always think “gosh her thighs are so smooth, I wish mine…” but then in one video I saw cellulite when you were sitting down and it made me feel better that it’s normal even for someone so fit as you ♥️

I m so happy that our generation is growing with so much positivity, I'm 23F, I workout everyday, I was always physically active and had stretch marks and cellulite in my teens. Everyone around me made me feel cautious about it, but now I've grown to love and embrace them. I love my body. Thanks for making such content, it really helps girls feel more confident in themselves. <3

[nicoletorres]

I really thought that fitness influencers didn't have cellulite. This video made me feel so much better about my body. I appreciate it

[misshannah]

This is actually so healing to see fitness influencers show this. Because I honestly had no idea that was still normal for super fit people so thank you for sharing this so everyone else knows not to beat themselves up when they feel like they're not fit just because of cellulite! You look amazing ❤️

[tigressisaverb]

One of the many reasons I first started following you: transparency, authenticity AND BEAST MODE YET BALANCED HOLISTIC HEALTH!!! 💪🏾 Thank you for the work you do! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[curiouslyunruffled]

Love you for always being so real with us, Maddie. ❤️❤️❤️

[airashahi_]

Thank u so much for showing that and giving us confidence. 💕

[willowtree-qdde]

This video was very helpful. I didn’t know that even someone with a physique like yours would still have belly fat. This is the only video I’ve ever seen that actually *showed* me what influencers look like off camera. Thank you!

[rehaanrizwick]

The world needs more honest videos like these. Kudos.

[sterlingforbes]

Appreciate this, I'm sooo tired of seeing IG guys and gals showing "perfection" with lighting, angles, filters, etc.

[tracy]

Such an important message, thanks for making us stronger physically AND mentally <3

[estherhsmoon]

I've been trying to be more physically active with the mindset of getting stronger and healthier instead of shaping my body into a certain way and I just need to say thank you thank you thank you ❤️❤️ Your videos and content make that possible and I'm so grateful to have found you 🥰

You dont even understand how important this is. This is me and I think I have slight body dysmorphia because I am soft when I'm not flexing and it's so discouraging. I think all my joint pains are in vain. ❤
