Help,
I think I have really fat legs, I need exercises that will help tone my legs and calfs. I already do 10 miles on my ellipical everyday, squats, kettlebells and stationary bike but nothing really seems to be targeting my trouble areas i still have lots of jiggly cellulite. So what do you do for legs? Thanks

    For cellulite? Diet.

    Unfortunately there's no such thing as spot reducing, all you can do is work a reducing your overall % of body fat and, eventually, your body will get around to your legs. But keep on exercising!

    10 reps of putting the fork down.

    10 miles, Holy *kitten*! You can't target fatloss, you need a calorie deficit. Plenty of squats (deep as possible) and good mornings/standing hyperextensions (again, full ROM) will really help though...preferably heavy and very low reps as to not make your legs grow (hypertrophy)

    I don't think it's possible to get rid of cellulite with diet and exercise...I still have plenty despite being very lean.

    Try squats, burpees, lunges, etc. They work wonders! i agree with Brian, don't attempt spot reducing, there's no such thing.
