With winter slowly creeping in, temperatures dropping and days getting shorter, getting out of bed can feel like a real challenge… let alone heading outside for a workout. Sound familiar, ladies? Luckily, there are ways to stay on top of your figure and tackle cellulite without ever leaving your cosy nest. To prove it, we’ve put together an anti-cellulite exercise routine you can do entirely in bed. Life is good, isn’t it?
Work your core to say goodbye to hip cellulite
To do this, lie flat on your back with your legs straight and pressed together. Then slowly sit up, engaging your abs as you rise. Hold the top position for a few seconds before slowly lowering yourself back down. Remember to inhale on the way up and exhale on the way down.
Aim for 15 repetitions, at your own pace of course. Say goodbye to that little tummy and belly cellulite!
Fire up your glutes for a dimple-free bottom
Still lying on your back, bend your knees and place your feet flat on the mattress, arms resting alongside your body. Lift your hips as high as you can off the mattress, hold for a few seconds, then slowly lower back down without fully resting your bottom on the mattress.
Complete 15 repetitions of this movement, always at your own pace. Hello, goddess-worthy, cellulite-free glutes!
Work your legs for smoother skin
This time, lie on your side with your legs straight. Engage your glutes and abs, point your toes, and lift your left leg up towards the ceiling before bringing it back down towards your right leg.
Again, don’t let the leg rest completely. Lift it back up as soon as it grazes your right leg.
Do 15 repetitions again, and on each side of course! Hello, toned, sculpted, cellulite-free legs!
Don’t forget your arms for a firm, toned upper body
You’re going to do elevated push-ups. To do this, stack your pillows and get into a plank position with your arms straight and your hands resting on the pile of pillows. Make sure your body is well engaged and your back is straight. Then bend your arms and lower your body towards the mattress 10 times.
If this exercise feels too challenging, feel free to do it on your knees.
Get your whole body working to say bye-bye to cellulite
Start by lying on your right side, placing your forearm on the bed. Make sure your hips, shoulders and feet are all aligned.
Then lift your hips towards the ceiling as high as you can. Extend your left arm upward to accompany the movement.
Without letting your hips touch the bed — keeping your abs engaged — slowly lower your hips back to the starting position.
Using your lower arm, add a twist to really work the abs.
Continue this movement for 30 seconds, then switch sides.
Finally, finish with a targeted core and lower body exercise
Lie on your back with your hands tucked under your hips, palms facing down.
Bring both feet up in the air and point your toes. Keep both legs as straight as possible and lower your right leg towards the bed in a controlled movement.
Then, without touching the mattress, bring the leg back up to the starting position. Repeat on the other side. For those who want more of a challenge, try lowering and raising both legs at the same time.
