How to reduce cellulite with exercise

Chris explains that it takes a healthy diet and good exercise to reduce cellulite and shows us six exercises to get started:

Exercise 1:  Squat Kick Back Exercise

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, toes facing front.
2. Sit back into an imaginary chair, keeping knees over your shoelaces. Come back up and return to starting position.
3. Stretch one leg out behind you, then return to floor.
4. Repeat steps above (squat movement), then use the other leg to stretch back behind you.

Squats help to reduce cellulite in your glutes and on the back side of legs.

Exercise 2:  Plie Sweep Exercise

1. Stand with feet apart, a little wider than your hips, toes facing out. Put your hands on your hips.
2. Keeping your abs tight, bend down so your knees go over your shoelaces. Come back up.
3. Then, sweep left leg out and across, return to starting position.
4. Repeat step above but use your right leg to sweep out and across.

Sweeps help to reduce cellulite on the thighs and hamstrings.

Exercise 3:  Lunge Exercise

1. Begin with your hands on your sides, take your right foot forward and step into a lunge, knee over shoelaces, and other knee pointing down.
2. Pull leg back up and sweep it behind you, into a reverse lunge. Knee should be over shoelaces with other knee pointing down. Repeat steps 1 and 2 four times.
3. Switch legs and repeat four times.

Lunges help to reduce cellulite in your body core (stomach/abs).

Exercise 4:  Curtsy and Kick Exercise

1. Place feet hip-width apart and put hands on hips, stand tall with abs tight.
2. Take right foot behind you, into a curtsy and bend down. Come back up, gain your balance, and kick right leg up to the side. Squeeze through your quad.
3. Switch legs and repeat steps above.

The curtsy and kick exercises help to reduce cellulite in your stomach/ abs and lower body.

Exercise 5:  The Bridge

1. Get down on the floor, line your heels up with your glutes, and roll back down to the floor. Relax hands at your side on the floor.
2. Tighten your abs while you lift into a bridge position, lifting your glutes up into the air and hold it.
3. Lower down carefully, just before you touch the floor, push back up. Make sure to push your belly button into your spine.

Bridge exercises help to reduce cellulite in your stomach/ abs, glutes, and hamstrings.

Exercise 6:  Bun Burner

1. Get on all fours, stomach facing toward the floor. Place palms on the floor, wrists aligned underneath shoulders. Keep abs tight. Imagine that you’re balancing a dinner plate on your spine.
2. Bring your right knee in toward your chest and then shoot it back out. Repeat 8 times.
3. Staying in same position, another move is to keep your leg stretched out behind you and lift it up toward the ceiling and back down, squeezing your glutes. Repeat 8 times. Switch to the other leg and repeat.
4. Staying in the same position, another move is while the leg is extended out, curl your leg up so your shoe hits your glutes. Repeat 8 times. Switch to the other leg and repeat.
