    I'm working on mine through strength training. Deadlifts, squats, lunges, glute raises, etc. I've noticed my legs taking better shape for sure.

    I think doing the 30 day shred has helped. Walking has, too.

    I deal with it by loving it the same way I love the rest of my body.

    Okay. So most of us have it. I am 22 years old and I never thought my cellulite could look this...lumpy. My husband says he doesn't even know what I'm talking about, but it's so difficult for me to even consider wiggling into a pair of shorts when the back of my legs looks like cottage cheese. Summertime is coming soon... :(

    So. How do you deal with cellulite? Have you found an exercise that helps you minimize it? I want a long term solution. Lotions don't work, and I don't have the money for lipo, haha. I've started running daily...will that help?

    My cellulite has almost disappeared.
    I do a lot of leg workout and also have lowered my BF% to around 18 - 19%. According to my husband, he can't even see it anymore and girl friends have also asked how I got rid off them. My answer is eating clean and hard work. It didn't happen overnight.

    Cellulite is fat/ excess fat that being held in by bans and connective tissues. As our skin changes due to poor eating, aging, and neglecting to take care of our skin, it starts to thin or become less elastic like. The extra fat that we see bulging through the bans and connective tissues becomes more noticeable. Sense I've started eating healthy, doing leg curls, lunges, using they cybrex machine, doing extra cardio exercises and using a boar bushing on the back of my legs and belly; I have a huge change in the reduction of cellulite. My skin is tighter from generating new skin from using the boar brush and I also use Nivea Goodbye Cellulite which has L-Carnitine in it (helps tighten the skin and makes it firmer). This is what I learned in the past year so I done different techniques like these and it doesn't cost much of anything. Who knows if it was one or all of these that have made a difference but I do them all so good luck! Oh, and does it last long? Exercising the fat away and eating healthy is something that I plan to do for a long time so I'll say Yes!

    I have answered this question in a previous post. click on my posts under my thumbnail and check it out!!! I have gotten rid of mine, totally, before, as a big surprise to me. I had been a little heavy and had cellulite. Basically it get trapped in there, hard and dry, and seems to separate itself from your body's metabolism because it's trapped. Look at my post...:smile:

    Yess!! That's right...your body's metabolism will get around to it if you get that burn going...lymph massage also greatly aids...

    This is what I have been doing and it has helped a lot. I've only been doing it for around a month so I'm excited to see long term results. First is walking and running. Both help shred fat in the legs and butt. Second is having my husband massage my thighs and butt every night before bed with some random lotion I have. He does a "deep tissue" massage for about a minute per leg. Third is water, water and more water. Try it for one month and see what happens. BTW, I walk for around an hour a day with my dog and do the C25K program 3 days a week. HTH :)
    Yes. That's right. Massage, a good metabolic burn so your body can go after it (exercise), water, diet...eat clean.

    I also have terrible cellulite to the point where it gets painful!

    Try drinking plenty of water, load of fresh fruit and veg, as little tea/coffee/alcohol as possible. Do some squats, lunges, have a soak in an epsom salt bath (Get it from a local chemist or ebay) exfoliate the whole area and massage firmly.

    I do all that daily when it gets bad and its like a miracle cure! Just remember it will keep coming back so you need to keep on top of it.

    JUst as everyone has pointed out..cellulite is a part of most womens lives. It's not as ugly as you think and it doesn't define you. Be happier, smilier, cheerier so that nobody has a moment to look at your supposed flaws. Distract them with your glory. Thats my motto! :)

    Hi,
    Cellulite is the result of enlarged fat cells beneath the skin, which place pressure on the skin between the anchor points of the connective tissue and push it upwards, causing the skin to take on that dreaded bumpy appearance.
    Here best tips also:
    Do massage daily.
    You should do exercise at least 45 minutes.
    Eating a healthy diet is very important for your Skin.
    cellulite is natural creams that also very good for skin.It is similar to the skins natural cream.
    If you will have some cellulite problem. Use can Cellulite Creams.
    Hope will help.

    My boyfriend doesn't notice the little on my legs (towards my butt) but after Insanity I'm going to do Brazil Butt Lift with ankle weights AND resistance band to see what happens! Hoping it works! :)
