- 1). Do 30 minutes of cardio at least three times per week to reduce the fat that makes up cellulite. Any activity that raises your heart rate will burn calories, but you can maximize the effect by choosing exercises that strengthen the butt and thighs: walking or running uphill or on the treadmill at an incline; step aerobics; hiking; biking and cycling; kickboxing.
- 2). Do 30 minutes of strength training two to three times per week, focusing on moves that build lower body muscle. Performing each move with medium to heavy dumbbells will greatly increase muscle strength. The best exercises to target cellulite include squats, side squats, forward lunges, rear lunges, and Romanian dead-lifts.
- 3). If you prefer to perform strength moves on gym machines, try hip abductions, leg presses and seated leg curls.
- 4). Choose foods that pack the most nutrients for the fewest calories, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat protein sources. This will keep your body fat down to reduce cellulite, while providing protein to repair and build muscles and energy to fuel your workouts.
