Busting cellulite the hard way

Cellulite is stubborn fat that is most noticeable on the legs, and some women are resigned to living with it. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Those who haven’t gotten them yet can do preventive exercises, while those who deal with cottage cheese legs can still work on maintaining smooth pins after undergoing skin treatments:

1. Squats: The lower body must expend energy to bust the fat in the legs. Squats have many variations, and they can go in different directions. Angelina Jolie herself, during her Lara Croft days, pumped up those million-dollar pins by doing squats every day. Another good variation is to do this while holding dumbbells.

2. Dumbbell Curtsy Lunge: Lunges are also something of a wonder if the goal is to combat cellulite. It’s a matter of stepping forward and behind and leaning the legs while keeping the shoulders square and holding a pair of light dumbbells on each side.

3. All fours kickbacks: Take a mat and lean on your forearms and put your weight on your knees. With or without ankle weights, lift your leg one on each side, foot facing the ceiling. Do this for four reps of eight counts. Remember to keep your back straight.

4. Take the old stairs: If all that exercising doesn’t pan out, keep the faith and just keep moving those gams. Taking the stairs or long leisurely strolls around your village prevents cellulite and beautifies the overall look of your legs.

Finally, dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons are there to help. Sono Bello Body Contour Centers has perfected non-invasive treatments to target cellulite and sculpt problem areas.
