4 of the Best Exercises For Cellulite ReductionBy Renee Feldman

A Lifestyle approach to cellulite reduction will assist and help you to get rid of it and keep it off. The components of the lifestyle approach for minimizing cellulite include proper diet, treatment options, exercise and your secret weapon, the power of your mind.

Here are 4 great resistance training exercises to help you to reduce cellulite and strengthen and tone your muscles. Be sure to go at your own pace and check with your health care practitioner if you have any concerns about doing these movements. Keep in mind that you are supposed to do the exercises until you feel slight discomfort, or "burning." You should not feel pain.

If you are just starting out, do one set of 10-12 repetitions of each exercise. If you are more advanced, work up to 3 sets of each. In general, breath out on the parts of the exercise where you are exerting yourself the most. Remember to visualize your body parts as you want them to look while you do the exercises.

Squats

1. Start with your legs a small wider than shoulder width apart. Keep your gaze forward, lift your shoulders up back and around and stick your chest out. Your abdominal muscles should be gently contracted into your straight spine.

2. Bend your knees and lower your body, as if sitting down in a chair on a slow count of four. Do not allow your knees to go past your toes. Keep your weight on your heels and stick your backside out.

3. Return to the starting position on a slow count of four.(variation: When you return to the starting position, slowly lift your leg straight in back of you. Lower the leg back down and when your foot hits the floor, immediately begin your squat again.)

Lunges

1. Take a large step back so that your feet are staggered. Plant your front foot and lift your back heel so that your weight is pressed into the ball of the back foot.

2. On a slow count of 4, gently let both knees bend, being careful not to let your front knee go past your toes.

3. On a slow count of 4, raise back up to the starting position and contract the muscles in your backside and hamstrings.

tip: Keep your torso straight up and down. Don't pitch forward as you lunge.

Isometric Exercise For Cellulite

Isometric exercise means that the muscle contracts however doesn't go through a range of motion.

Here's how you can do an anti-cellulite Isometric exercise.

While standing, contract the areas of your body that havecellulite, namely your backside hips and thighs. You should have your pelvis shifted slightly forward with your abdominals tightened in towards your lower back. Hold in this position for 30 seconds while breathing through your nose. Next, shift your pelvis back, sticking your backside out and contract all of the above muscles and hold for 30 seconds while breathing through your nose.

Finally, bring your legs shoulders width apart and lower your body as if you're about to sit down. Stay in this position and contract your muscles for 30 seconds while breathing through your nose.

Super Duper Toner

Lay down flat on the floor with your arms by your sides. Put your feet up on a chair. Lift your whole body up from below your shoulders. This means that your head neck and shoulders will be on the floor and the rest of your body will be in a diagonal line (plank.) Try to have your lower body take your weight without putting too much strain on your arms.

Next, slowly lift one leg up slowly for a count of 10 seconds and lower slowly for a count of 10 seconds. Now switch legs and do the same. Keep your abdominals contracted while you do this.

Get Rid of Your Cellulite TodayBy Merrill Farmer

Cellulite, it is that ugly cottage cheese looking skin on your thighs and buttocks. You see it everyday in the mirror, and every time it makes you feel that much worse about your body. Well that ends here. Exercise is one of the most effective tools in reducing cellulite. However, what if you could get a few exercises that target the areas of your body that have cellulite. That way you are not wasting your time with endless exercises that are not even slightly reducing the cellulite. Here we will offer you three of our greatest exercises for ridding your body of cellulite.

These exercises will be the most effective if you do at least four sets of each. If you want a small extra attention on those problem areas then you are welcome to try eight sets of each. You will want to maintain this schedule for at least three days a week.

The first exercise is called Dead Legs. If you have dumbbells they are recommended, however for beginner s you are welcome to try it with leg and arm weights, or without anything. You want to start out by holding your arms to your side (with or without the weights). Make sure to keep your feet less then the width of your shoulders. Be sure to keep your feet locked to the ground and begin to bend over so that your back is parallel with the floor. Your arms should be hanging down to the floor. Next you need to lift your back up, keeping your shoulders back and your back arched in order to complete the contraction. If you would like more of a stretch then try doing this exercise while standing on a chair or bench.

The second exercise that is great for getting rid of cellulite is lunges. Again you will want to use dumbbells or other weights, or perhaps try it with nothingat first. Keeping your back as straight as possible, your head up, and your chest expanded. Then you will step forward, bending your knees, and bring the back knee as close to the ground as you can. Try changing the length of your steps to see how this effects the different portions of your thighs. After you have bent your knee to the floor then you will want to slowly bring yourself back to an upright position. Do three sets with each leg to get the most out of this exercise.

The third exercise is called squats, and they do a magnificent job of toning and shaping your thighs. For this exercise you will want to stand upright with your back straight and your legs shoulder width apart. Take a deep breath in and then slowly lower your body by bending your knees outward. Make sure to keep your back straight throughout this exercise. After you have gone down as far as possible then you will want to slowly bring your self up to the original position. Repeat this exercise by doing at least four sets of ten squats.
