How to Tone Up Your Cellulite AreasYour best weapons in your battle against unwelcome cellulite are a smart nutritional routine and a consistent, properly structured workout program.
This routine specifically targets the areas where the appearance of cellulite tends to show up. Lying on your side, do 10 reps of each exercise: 1) Bring both knees forward so your hips are at a 90 degree angle. Then straighten your top leg out in front of you, still keeping 90 degrees at the hip. Lift the top leg slowly about three feet off the ground & down. 2) Straighten both legs so your body is in a straight line. Tilt the hips forward slightly. Lift the top leg about three feet off the ground & down. 3) Put your top leg out in front of you, on the ground. Move your bottom leg forward slightly. Lift the bottom leg about 8 - 12 inches off the ground & down. 4) Repeat all 3 on the other side. On the elbows and knees, do 10 reps of each exercise: 1) Extend one leg straight back with your toe on the ground. Lift that leg up toward the ceiling & down. Then switch legs. 2) Lift your knee off the floor. Extend that same heel back and up so your leg is pointing toward the ceiling & then bring the knee back into you. Then switch legs. Standing up, do 10 reps of each exercise: 1) Start with your feet together. Step out in front in to a lunge position. Touch the ground with opposite hand. Come back up & step back to the starting position. Then switch legs. 2) Put one foot up on a step (12 - 18 inches high). Slowly step up and down with the other foot. Then switch legs. If
this routine is easy try going through it twice. If you still need more
of a challenge, increase the reps to 15 or 20 per set. |
