3 Exercises to Reduce Cellulite on Bum Cellulite is a highly common condition among women, with more than 90% of us suffering from this issue. Though not a life-threatening problem—it’s not even considered a medical problem—there is still a lot of stigma attached to having orange-peel skin and that’s precisely why we’re always looking for ways to get rid of cellulite. While there’s no way of actually getting rid of it completely, there are certain measures you can take to make your skin look better. So, here are three and make it look quite a bit perkier too. Single Leg Hip Raises Lie on the floor on your back, with your right knee raised and foot flat on the floor while keeping the other leg straight and parallel with your right thigh (basically, your leg should be up in the air). Keep your arms out to the sides. Now, pull your stomach in and hold it. Next, squeeze your butt muscles (glutes) and lift your hips slowly until your body is in a straight line from your shoulders to the tipof your upraised leg. Hold the position for 2 seconds while squeezing your glutes and keeping your stomach in. Lower yourself back to your starting position slowly. Repeat with your other leg. If you find this exercise too difficult, start off by keeping both feet on the floor. If it’s too easy, cross your arms over your chest instead of bracing them on the floor. Reverse Lunge Hold a pair of dumbbells with your arms straight by your sides and palms facing each other. Take a step backwards with your left leg and lower yourself until your right knee is at least at a 90 degree angle and your left knee is close to the floor. Repeat the movement until you do all your reps on one leg and then switch legs. If it’s too difficult, try doing reverse lunges with just your body weight at first. If it’s too easy, then you should consider heavier dumbbells. Step Ups Holding a pair of dumbbells like in the previous exercise, position yourself in front of a step or bench that reaches to about yourknees. Place your right foot flat on the bench and then push yourself up until your right leg is straight and your standing on the bench, with your right leg held behind you in the air. Slowly lower yourself back down until your standing on your right leg again. Do all your reps on one leg and then switch. If it’s too difficult, start off with just your body weight. If it’s too easy, try the exercise with heavier dumbbells. Keep in mind that these three will help you improve the appearance of your rear end, but they can’t . You simply can’t spot reduce fat, but you can build muscle to provide a better framework for your skin and improve the appearance of cellulite.
