If you have cellulite, you know how irritating it is to deal with. The cottage cheese look on your skin makes you feel like you have to hide yourself. Many people try all kinds of treatment for cellulite, but find it impossible to find a permanent solution. Although researchers haven’t yet found a permanent solution themselves, they have found that cellulite exercise is the best treatment for cellulite. This doesn’t come as a surprise to many people considering that exercise has so many benefits for the whole body. It provides you with energy, relieves stress, builds up the immune system, reduces heart problems and other health problems, and help you loose body fat.
The body fat that exercise gets rid of is exactly what helps you loose cellulite. Cellulite exercise reduces body fat, thereby reducing the size of the fat cells that are pushing out on your skin and causing the cellulite. Cellulite exercise focuses on the parts of your body that typically have the most cellulite; such as the back of the thighs, the hips and the buttocks. The primary cellulite exercises that work these areas are cardio workouts, strength training, and stretching.
Getting Started with Cellulite Exercise
Although you will find a number of cellulite treatment supplements, creams, lotions, and laser treatment for getting rid of cellulite, none of these are permanent treatments and often these temporary treatments only work on certain people. So they can be a quick way to lose money and end up feeling disappointed. The safest and best ways to lose cellulite are through improving your diet and doing cellulite exercise. By taking off the fat and toning up the body, there will no longer be any room for the cellulite to appear on your body.
The first cellulite exercise that is recommended has you lying on your side with both knees bent at a ninety degree angle in front of your body. Then you will straighten out your top let and lift it three feet above the ground. Then, slowly bring it down. You will do these leg lifts slowly ten times. Then switch and do the same with the other side. Next you will repeat the whole thing, but instead of bending your bottom leg, you will keep it straight. If done properly, this will work your buttocks, hip, and thighs together.
There are a number of good cellulite exercises that help you work the cellulite areas. So starting researching cellulite exercise online or talk with a trainer at your local gym so you start to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Nope sorry. Life is just not that easy…
If you’re not too lazy to exercise, start doing squats and lunges and if you’re overweight, do some cardio.
Eating healthy is very important as well.

BACKGROUND: Gynoid lipodystrophy (cellulite) affects most women, and many seek plastic surgery consultation to improve appearance. Various products are offered, but the literature on the cause and treatment is limited. Understanding the biological and biophysical factors that affect severity may facilitate the development of effective therapies. There has been a dramatic increase in the number of people who have lost significant weight as a result of bariatric surgery or medically supervised weight programs. The effect of weight loss on cellulite severity has not been systematically studied and remains a common patient concern. The authors hypothesized that cellulite severity would decrease with weight loss and subsequent decrease in subcutaneous fat in most subjects. METHODS: The authors examined the cellulite changes in female subjects who were enrolled in medically supervised weight loss programs using quantitative surface roughness by three-dimensional laser surface scanning, tissue composition by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, dermal-subcutaneous structure with three-dimensional ultrasound, and tissue elasticity with biomechanical measurements. RESULTS: The majority of subjects had an improvement in cellulite with weight loss, but the condition worsened for others. Improvement was associated with significant reductions in weight and percentage of thigh fat, significantly higher starting body mass index, and significantly greater initial severity. Cellulite worsened with a significantly smaller starting body mass index, smaller reductions in weight accompanied by no change in percentage of thigh fat, and significant increases in tissue compliance. CONCLUSIONS: Cellulite is a complex condition, and treatments such as weight loss have variable effects on the improvement or worsening of this condition. Additional studies are required to understand how the factors that influence and modulate cellulite severity, particularly those at the level of the subcutaneous tissue septa, can be manipulated to improve this condition.

Cellulean (a lotion). Within 5 weeks of using it twice a day, the cellulite was gone and I had lost a little over 2 inches in each thigh.
