An Instagram video posted by dickzenlong showed Thuli on a Body Roll Shaper, a machine that helps reduce cellulite and stretch marks, tighten skin and achieve a smoother complexion.

According to Sonder Private Clinic, the machine functions as a lymphatic roller machine, helping eliminate toxins and reduce swelling, while stimulating the lymphatic system to promote better health and a more toned appearance.

Like Boity Thulo, Thuli has added the roller to her fitness regimen, and by the looks of things, it has been doing a great job!

In the video, Thuli had the roller target her stomach:
