Exercises to Get Ride Of Cellulite

Statistically, close to 80 percent of all adolescent females have cellulite in some part of their bodies. It is considered a major problem as far as weight loss is concerned. Getting rid of this menace either partially or completely is equally a huge challenge and many people have gone to great lengths in trying to find the right cure for cellulite. Among the many remedies for cellulite are a couple of exercises that would help to reduce or eliminate it completely. The following are some of the exercises.

1. Deep ballet barre bends

Any form of exercise that targets cellulite prone areas such as the hips, thighs and buttocks would go a long way in toning down the muscles in those areas. You need to find a gym with ballet barre and get down to some serious bends. This exercise involves standing up with your legs apart. You need to be as far away from the barre as possible to allow your hands to stretch out as much as possible. Now grab the barre with both hands and bend down. Slowly come back up again then go back down. Repeat the reps about 15 times then hold for about 10 seconds then do it all over again. You will feel the heat.

2. Pilates pelvic curls

The pelvic curls are a great way to tone down your thighs and buttocks while at the same time enhancing your core strength. This exercise does not involve too much effort as it can be done while lying down on your mat. Get down on your back with your knees facing up and your feet on the floor. Your arms should be resting on your sides and your legs need not be together. Keep them slightly apart. Now, while in that position, slowly raise your pelvis and back slightly up and hold. If you want to increase the intensity of this exercise and really feel the squeeze, get an exercise ball between your thighs and hold it with your hands. Now lift your lower body up and hold while holding the ball.

3. Pilates sidekick series

This exercise is intended to tone down your buttocks, thighs, core, hips and legs simultaneously. With this, you will also be lying down but this time round you will be lying on your side while resting on your arm. To begin with, slowly raise your upper leg and bring it down so that it almost touches your lower leg. Now, raise it again and hold it slightly above the lower leg for some time then take it back to the air. Repeat this 10-15 times. Then rotate your upper leg in a circular motion about 10 times then change positions and lie on your other side. Slowly you will start feeling the burn on your cellulite prone areas.

4. Single leg supine hip extensions

This exercise involves lying on your back with your arms stretched out to the sides. The left knee should be bent while the right leg should be straight. Now lift the right leg until it’s in line with the left thigh. Then slowly raise your pelvis to form a straight line from the shoulders all the way to the knees. Pause for 10 seconds then lower your pelvis. Repeat this 3 times then switch leg positions. This is expected to work your glutes.

5. Single leg Romanian deadlifts

While on a standing position, hold a 20 pound weight in your right hand and raise your right foot from the ground. Reach for your left foot while keeping your knee and back straight. Your right leg will then automatically go back. Repeat this couple of times while switching hands and legs. This exercise will work your hamstrings as well as your hips.
