The TRUTH about Cellulite
Many of
you have asked me how I have gotten rid of the cellulite on my thighs. Well
just like my stretch marks it is still there, but have decreased.
Here is
some information I have found that is helpful and might help some of you get
rid of yours or at least decrease it!
The main causes of
cellulite deposits are unhealthy diets and lack of exercising. Cellulite is
actually composed of water, toxins and fatty tissue cells that build up under
layers of skin and causes pressure on the connective tissues of muscles. This
concentration of body elements causes the skin to take on an orange-peel like
texture which unfortunately affects 90% of women in the world today.
Cellulite builds up in mostly in the stomach, hips, buttocks, thighs or on the back part of the legs. The reason these areas are more common with cellulite deposits is because these regions form deeper skin pockets which tend to retain more fat, this causes poor blood circulation to affected tissues which creates a dimpled, uneven surface.
Even
though weight gain or obesity are associated with cellulite some other known
factors are, family genetics or hormone imbalances that usually occur during within
the life cycle. In women, Estrogen has been shown to cause cellulite formations
which is a major reason more women suffer from this condition than men.
Some exercises I have found to target these areas are below:
Enjoy and get to working!!!!! -Becky
Starting
exercises to reduce cellulite requires sweating out excess water and toxins,
reducing fat deposits in the targeted areas and toning up body muscles. Do not
make the mistake of starting out too strenuously since this will ultimately
lead to failure, just as cellulite was built up slowly, it also has to be
removed in the same manner. You want to gradually work your way up to a
rigorous workout to allow your body time to adjust.
A great way to begin
toning your body is by simply walking and gradually increasing the duration
following by jogging. The next step will involve the use of specialized
exercises such as, squats, alternating leg raises, lunges and mild weights for
resistance training. These exercises will be very beneficial to pin point
problem areas. More advanced physical activities such as cardio, swimming,
jumping rope or dance classes can be included as later regimes.
Healthy eating will
follow right along with your cellulite exercises, once you change your eating
habits success is right around the corner. Your nutritional diet should include
dairy products and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, these are very
helpful in removing toxins and providing many beneficial vitamins and minerals.
Avoid processed foods which are rich in saturated fats and sodium such as fried
foods, potato chips, cookies and especially pork meats.
Some exercises I have found to target these areas are below:
Side by Side
One legged Lunge
Kickbacks
Lying Inner Leg Lift
Squat and side lift
V- Leg Pull
Enjoy and get to working!!!!! -Becky

Our qualifications, costs, programs, etc.
Hey everyone, we've been getting a few emails about our qualifications, costs, programs etc. So I figured I would share my background again for those of y'all that were wondering. As a natural competitive bodybuilder I've been down the weight loss road and I've also been on the muscle gain road as well. Some people ask me if its possible to do both at the same time, and my answer is always the same.... "Yes, with the right diet and training plan anything is possible." So you might be thinking "But I don't wanna build muscle and look gross, I'm a woman!" Well you don't have to worry - building some muscle WONT automatically make you masculine. In reality while building muscle you are cutting away the fat like a knife through butter! Muscle weighs more than fat, but takes up a whole lot less room.
I have been writing people diets and training plans for quite a while now(Even before I met the wonderful Rebecca Fulton). The majority of people have had AMAZING success.(The ones that didn't have success weren't able to stick to the plan) And YOU could too as long as you stick to the diet and training plans. I personally sit down and spend hours on each and every single one of them.
Right now we are doing $100 for either a Diet OR Training plan per month, or $150 for both! If you do decide to join, your price will never go up. Both of us are working towards our degrees and certification so to us this isn't a "get rich quick scheme". You can check around, most people charge $300-$1000 for the same thing and you wont get the personal attention Rebecca and I give to you. With either plan we will give you our phone numbers and you can call/text/ or email ANYTIME you need. Plus we both check in on you every few days.
Weigh ins are every Sunday and Wednesday MORNING. Also progress pictures are requested each Sunday morning so I can see the areas that have improved and the ones that need more attention. I also send reminders so you wont forget.
We use pay pal for payment so that it is safe for both you as the buyer and for us. Once a email is received we send out a small questionnaire. We make all of these personally based on your schedule. Work, school, and what times you hit the gym. All meals are written for you by day and time and amt (1 cup, 5 oz, etc). Your fitness plan is written out per day for each muscle group and include sets and reps. We are here for questions anytime. If you don't know how to do a workout, if you are unfamiliar about a certain protein or brands to buy we help with that. We are here for you to succeed. Being a part of your journey makes us work harder every day.
So what are you waiting for? You said yesterday you'd start tomorrow...Well TODAY is that day!
"When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, THEN you will be truly be successful!"

We have a number of men and women on our team currently. Some in their first month and some well into their second. It has been an honor to help educate, motivate, and watch them change their lives. They are happier, healthier and SMALLER!
I've gotten quite a few emails about people wanting to join in but are hesitant so I have asked a few of the women who are apart of our team to give some advice to those who are just not ready to jump in yet. Well, take a look at some of our team and their progress.

"When I came across Becky's Instagram, I was floored by her transformation. I started to follow her instantly. Over the next couple weeks I kept being drawn to ask for help. I've struggled with this weight for almost two years, hitting my biggest at 240 pounds last April. I made little changes to myself and by February I got my weight down to 221.. I finally decided to just do it, ask RFultonFitness for their help. On February 13th 2013, I put all my trust in Shaun and Becky. It is March 3rd, and I am down to 210 pounds. I could not have made a better decision. Everything is set up for YOU. My meal plans, my training schedule, everything. They are always there for me! I am truly beyond happy with my decision to join RFultonFitness. I know I will exceed my goals! Once you see that number start to go down on the scale, and your strength go UP in the gym, you will know you have made one of the best choices you could make for yourself... to get HEALTHY!" - Jessica

"I'm a 42 year old mom of two boys. I've always been an active person and been on and off many different "diets". I've often wanted to find somebody to connect with who could help me lose some weight and tone up what I've got while giving me more strength.Recently I connected with Shaun and it's been awesome! He's been so supportive in helping me meet my goals! I've held myself accountable and Shaun has always been checking in on me. It's a wonderful trainer relationship.Food has always been a challenge, because I'm a grab and go type of gal. Now knowing how important it is to plan and to keep the house stocked with "go-to's" it's been so much easier. Shaun's meal plans were very easy to follow and once you've done them for a few weeks it's amazing how the cravings decrease. The exercises have been great as well. I can totally tell that more muscles are being worked that I haven't worked in years! It's a great feeling.I started out at 174 and am down to 159, in just six weeks. Does it take discipline? Absolutely! Self accountability is incredibly important. With the right trainer, plan and self motivation anybody can do it. I'm so anxious to see what the next six weeks has in store for me!Thanks a million Shaun :-).... now if you could find me that boob job at the end of this journey, I'd be really ECSTATIC! ha ha ha" - Cindi
ASHLEY
"I have
been struggling with my weight all my life, in the past year and a half I've been trying to take it under control and successfully lost 23 pounds on my own,
over a little more than a year but I was stuck in a plateau that I couldn't get
over. I was following Becky Fulton and Shaun Hawley on Facebook and was
inspired to work harder than ever after seeing their results – so I contacted
them and our journey together began!
I
started working with the two of them January 11, 2013 and from the 11th
to the 30th of January I dropped 15 pounds! I was provided with meal
plans to follow and numerous workout plans.
They
made it clear when I started with them that I would be able to contact them
whenever I needed to – which proved very helpful as I have a sweet tooth and
it’s amazing how many things are out there to tempt you.
Becky
and Shaun have helped me stay on track, and they've given me invaluable
information, suggestions and support.
The
plateau that I had been fighting with for 4 months was overcome and they've been helping me overcome even more – I wouldn't have been able to do it without
the two of them.
Thank
you Becky and Shaun! I can’t wait to keep working with you!"

Push up Challenge
3rd and final challenge for March. PUSH UPS!! It works so many muscle groups at once! One of the best workouts for tank top season! It's fast approaching! If you need to start with "lady" push ups. That's ok! Start there. Or do as many regular and finish with them. All that matters is you attempt them. This one is going to be rough, but that's the point! It's a CHALLENGE! If you do 1 or all 3 this month, I applaud you! Print it off, hang it up in your bedroom and think of me cheering you on.
