Get Rid of Cellulite With 6 Exercises For Legs and Butt Workout

Cellulite is something we all have or have had, and it won’t go away without a serious understanding of what to do. Various factors creating cellulite include; genetics, hormones, and bad circulation. But, a fitness connection also assists this: When you lose muscle or don’t have much of it, there’s no underlying foundation, so fat clumps together and accumulates.

How it works: 

• Do two sets of each move for the number of reps indicated.
• If you do all your reps but don’t feel burned out, add on another five (per side if needed).
• Limit rest to 15 seconds between moves.
• You can do this routine three days a week on alternate days.
• Grab two sets of dumbbells, one heavier set (15 or 20 lbs) and one lighter set (8 to 12 lbs).
• If you can get your hands on only one set, choose 12 or 15 lbs.

Total Time: Up to 30 minutes
