4 Effective Cellulite Removal Exercises

Thigh Raise

This exercise is able to make your cellulite hurt so much it jumps ship all on its own. The longer you can hold it, the greater the rewards.

* Lie face down on an exercise mat and lift your feet just a few feet off the ground.

* Continue lifting feet and also raise your knees from your mat (use caution if you have lower back issues).

* Hold for five seconds and slowly unbend your knees then lower straightened legs to the ground.

* Repeat for 15 reps, working up to holding for 15 seconds in between.

Pony Kick

Excellent for shaping and sculpting, this exercise has withstood the test of time, because it delivers results.

* Get down on your elbows and knees with hands lying flat on your mat and facing forward.

* Keeping your back flat, slowly raise your left thigh behind you to about 45 degrees, with your knee bent and pointing your heel up.

* Hold for five seconds. Lower leg and repeat five to ten times.

* Repeat on right side, and work up to 3 sets of ten.

These exercises work best when combined with a healthy diet full of veggies, lean meats and whole grains. Drink lots of fresh pure water instead of sugary or carbonated drinks and limit alcohol intake. Include these exercises three times a week, with cardio exercises in-between for maximum benefit. Most of all, don’t be concerned about eliminating every last dimple, and accept them as a natural part of your body – it’s so much easier than surgery.
