Beating Cellulite With Exercise

Exercise will boost your sluggish circulation and lymphatic system, and encourage your body to get rid of the toxins causing your cellulite. Do a regular aerobic workout, exercising for 20-40 minutes, 3-5 times a week, and choose from these: brisk walking, swimming, cycling, tennis, badminton, aerobic classes or running. (It is always wise to consult your doctor before embarking on a new form of exercise.)

Tone It Up:
You can also try these exercises to increase circulation, firm up your legs and give them a better shape. Carried out daily, they will help you win the cellulite battle.

Hip Toner: Stand sideways with your hand resting on a chair. Your knees should be slightly bent and your shoulders relaxed. Slowly raise your right leg out to the side, keeping your body and raised foot facing forward. Carefully and slowly lower your leg, and then repeat this movement 10 times. Turn round and repeat with the other leg.

Inner Thigh Toner: Lie on your side on the floor, supporting your head with your arm. With your top leg resting on the floor in front, raise the lower leg off the floor as far as you can without straining, then lower it again. Repeat 10 times, then turn over and work the other leg.

Outer Thigh Toner: Lie on your side, supporting your head with your hand. Bend your lower leg behind you and tilt your hips slightly forward. Place your other hand on the floor in front of you for balance. Slowly lift your upper leg, then bring it down to touch the lower one, and repeat this action 6 times. Repeat on the other side.

Bottom Toner: Lie on your front with your hands on top of one another, resting your chin on them if you wish. Raise one leg about 13 cm/ 5 in. off the floor and hold for a count of 10. Bring your leg back to the floor, and repeat 15-20 times with each leg.
