Effective Anti-Cellulite Workouts

Anti-cellulite capsules, poultices, and other commercial products often promise hope but deliver little. The truth is that the most effective tools against cellulite are a balanced diet and a structured exercise program. Below is a workout routine targeting the buttocks, hips, and thighs—areas where cellulite tends to appear.

Workout Routine

Lying on your side, do 10 reps of each exercise:

1. Bring both knees forward, keeping your hips at a 90-degree angle. Extend your top leg in front of you while maintaining the hip angle. Lift the top leg slowly about three inches off the ground, then lower it.
2. Unbend both legs so your body is in a straight line, with your hips slightly inclined forward. Lift the top leg about three inches off the ground, then lower it.
3. Place your top leg on the ground in front of you and move your bottom leg slightly forward. Lift the bottom leg about 8–12 inches off the ground, then lower it.
4. Repeat all three exercises on the other side.

On your elbows and knees, do 10 reps of each exercise:

1. Extend one leg straight back with your toe on the ground. Lift that leg up toward the ceiling, then lower it. Switch legs.
2. Lift your knee off the ground. Extend that leg back so your heel points toward the ceiling, then bring the knee back in. Switch legs.

Standing up, do 10 reps of each exercise:

1. Start with your feet together. Step out into a lunge position and touch the ground with the opposite hand. Return to the starting position and switch legs.
2. Place one foot on a step (12–18 inches high). Slowly step up and down with the other foot, then switch legs.

If this routine feels easy, go through it twice and increase the reps to 15 or 20 per set for an added challenge.
