Do you know that between 85 percent and 98 percent of women get some degree of cellulite? Women of all races have cellulite but it is more common in Caucasian females. It is hardly ever seen in males.
It is important to remember that cellulite is not related to being overweight. Average and thin people also get cellulite.
The exacta cause of cellulite is not yet known. Cellulite is an elegant name for collections of fat beneath your skin. This causes the surface of the skin to dimple and look lumpy. It is commonly found on the thighs, stomach, and butt.
No matter what the cause is, if you have cellulite, chances are you want to get rid of it. American women spend hundreds of millions of dollars each year on various products hoping to rid themselves of those ugly skin dimples.
Here are three exercises that will help you eliminate cellulite without spending a lot of money. Lying on your side, do ten repetitions of each of the following exercises:
- Bring your knees forward; your hips should be at a 90 degree angle. Straighten your top leg out in front of you; you should uphold the 90 degree hip placement. Lift the top leg slowly up around 3 feet off the ground and then lower.
- Straighten your legs; your body should be in a straight line. Tilt your hips forward a little. Lift your top leg around 3 feet off the ground and then lower.
- Position your top leg in front of you on the ground. Move your bottom leg forward a little. Lift the bottom leg eight to twelve inches off the ground and down.
Do again these 3 exercises on the other side. You can boost the intensity of these exercises by increasing the number of repetitions or doing them more than once.
