You and your best friend were at the gym just the other night. You both ran on the eliptical runner for half and hour and the a half hour in the weight room looking after your shoulders and back. As per usual, you both proceed to the empty yoga room to stretch and cool down in front of walls of mirrors. While cooling down you noticed the top of your thighs still had that tell-tale orange peel look. Tragically and to your embarrassment you weren’t the only observer, There he was that gorgeous, cellulite-free cute guy that just had to point it out to you:

“Hey, did you know there are exercises to get rid of cellulite that you should probably be doing?”

You were mortified but curious, so you ask, “what are these exercises to get rid of cellulite and how can I incorporate them into my routine?”

Exercises to get rid of Cellulite

One of the most effective ways to eliminate the fatty tissue responsible for cellulite on your thighs is to add lunges to your exercise routine. What is important to note about this, is that your form must be accurate to avoid injury. When performing a lunge, always remain in control and never allow your knee to extend past your toe. Also, you will want to keep your thigh at a ninety degree angle.

Another incredibly effective exercise to get rid of cellulite in the thigh area is the squat. Again, it is very important to perform this exercise correctly to avoid potential injury. As seen with lunges, a ninety degree angle in the thighs and never extending the knees beyond the toes are vital. Additionally, it is helpful when performing this exercise to contract the muscles of the abdomen to protect the lower back area.

These two exercises are extremely effective ways to help eliminate the fatty tissue that is responsible for the dimples that all women hate. However, it is also important to work the inner thighs as well. This can be done by simply sitting in a chair and placing a pillow between your knees and squeezing in one to two minute increments. As you squeeze the pillow between your thighs, the muscles of your inner thighs will contract, which is an effective exercise to get rid of cellulite in this area.

Lunges, squats and thigh contractions are three of the most effective exercises to get rid of cellulite in the thigh area. There are lots more exercises. Combined with a good diet and maybe an anti-cellulite cream, you can again cool down in that yoga room with no embarrassment or listen as Mister Obvious points out the one thing you would love to live without: cellulite.
