You were 5'10" in your earlier post. Congrats on gaining an inch. :bigsmile:
Heavy lifting is more likely to reverse cellulite than doing more cardio. We're talking heavy, struggling lifting. How much weight do you use on your squats & lunges, and for how many repetitions?0 -

Can you clarify, is this bodyweight resistance or actually lifting weights? Sorry, it's not all that clear.I have worked out forver but my butt and thighs have cellulite and i cant wear a swim suit because of my saggy fat.

OK, neither CV nor resistance work will deal with the cellulite per se, however continuing to eat at a deficit and training will help. You either need to up your running to longer, and more challenging sessions or increase your lifting to see any real development of your quads, hamstrings and glutes. As you shed more surplus you'll see the muscle definition coming through, but to see muscle definition from running you need to have a combination of longer runs and shorter, faster runs. You'll get faster results from more focused resistance training as it takes runners a while to develop the muscle from running alone. Most runners do some form of resistance training to improve the muscle anyway.0
