3 Best Moves to Fight Off Cellulite
by Samantha Coogan, MS, RDN, LD
Plié/Sumo Squat
• Stand with your legs out a little wider and point each toe to the opposite walls.
• Keep the same posture and technique as a regular squat, but, when you push back up to standing position, squeeze your inner thighs and glutes.
• Try to tuck your butt inwards and give a little pelvic thrust at the top to make sure you are targeting your inner and outer thighs.
• For an extra push, add in a heavy dumbbell by holding it in both hands between your legs.
Glute Bridge
• Lie down on your back with your arms comfortably at your sides and your feet tucked under your knees.
• Push through your heels and thrust your hips upward towards the ceiling.
• Your shoulder blades and upper back should be pressed into the floor.
• Lower yourself back down and repeat the motion.
• For an added degree of difficulty, add a barbell across the crease of your hip.
Side Leg Lift with Band
• With a resistance band, lay down on your right side with your legs straight.
• Wrap the band around your ankles.
• Outstretch your right arm so it’s supporting your head.
• Keeping your legs straight, raise your left leg as high as you can.
• Lower your leg back to the starting position.
• Perform as many reps as you can on this side for 30 seconds.
• Switch to your left side and complete as many reps as possible for 30 seconds.
