Exercise alone may not be enough to eliminate cellulite, but it does play a major role in reducing that stubborn orange-peel skin! To help you choose the right moves, we’ve put together a full-body anti-cellulite workout that targets all your muscles deeply. And for truly great results, we’re sharing our top tips for before and after your session!

The good habit to adopt before your anti-cellulite workout
To feel your best during training and help your body fight cellulite, there’s one simple habit worth adopting: drinking water — and plenty of it! Staying well hydrated helps your body flush out stored fats more easily, support your circulation and prevent that heavy-legs feeling.
Proper hydration also protects your muscles and helps you avoid cramps and injuries. You’ll be in top shape to give it your all during your anti-cellulite session!
Water is the only essential drink your body truly needs. That said, if you fancy a little variety, feel free to reach for a herbal tea or a detox water.
My full-body anti-cellulite workout
To get the most out of this anti-cellulite session, grab a timer and repeat all the exercises until you reach at least 30 minutes of training. Take the time to perform each movement with care, working your muscles deeply to smooth away those dimples!
Plank
Get into a forearm plank, elbows directly beneath your shoulders. Hold for 30 seconds if you’re a beginner, and work your way up to a full minute once you’re more comfortable with the move!
Donkey kicks
Start on all fours, resting on your knees and forearms. Extend one leg straight back with a pointed toe. Pulse the leg up and down between the floor (without touching it) and hip height. Complete 3 sets of 25 reps per leg.
Leg raises
Lie on your back with your legs pointing straight up. Exhale as you lift your hips off the floor — focus on engaging your core rather than using momentum to raise your pelvis. Complete 3 sets of 25 reps.
Squats
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes turned slightly outward. Lower down until your thighs are parallel to the floor, keeping your weight in your heels and your back straight. Complete 3 sets of 25 reps.
Arm extensions
Holding a dumbbell in each hand (or a water bottle), stand tall and extend your arms out horizontally, then bring your hands in toward your chest by bending your elbows. Extend again and repeat! Complete 3 sets of 25 reps.
Bicycle crunches
Lie on your back with knees bent and hands lightly placed behind your ears. Perform a crunch, lifting your torso toward your knees and rotating your waist to bring your left elbow toward your right knee, then switch sides. Complete 3 sets of 25 reps.
The good habit to adopt after your anti-cellulite workout
After your session, keep up the fight against cellulite with a cupping massage. These massages complement the effects of exercise to help you achieve firmer, smoother skin. For an effective, quick and easy massage session, reach for your CelluBlue Cups. Their suction action helps break up stored fat and boost your circulation. Just 5 minutes a day of massage over a few weeks, and you’ll start to see real results. It’s the ultimate post-workout habit you won’t want to skip.
