Some days, you just don’t have time to lace up your trainers for a long workout… What if the solution was to exercise effectively and efficiently, in just 10 minutes? We’ve handpicked a series of targeted moves to help you achieve a slimmer stomach and hips, free from cellulite. So let’s dive straight into this stomach-focused and hip session — perfect for tackling orange-peel skin!
Exercise 1 for a cellulite-free stomach: the leg raise
This move, a blend of a plank and donkey kicks, deeply works your stomach and hips to help reduce cellulite. Start in a plank position with your arms straight. Being careful not to arch your back and keeping your leg extended, squeeze your glutes and lift one leg up towards the ceiling. Hold this raised position for 5 seconds before returning to the starting position. Then switch legs! Perform 15 reps per leg.
Exercise 2 for a cellulite-free stomach: the twist
This exercise targets your obliques and helps banish cellulite around the waist. Lie down, then lift your knees to a 90º angle. Extend your arms out to the sides, then lower your knees to the floor on the right. Bring them back up, then lower them to the left. Feel that twisting motion through your waist? Complete 30 repetitions.
Exercise 3 for a cellulite-free stomach: the side plank
Get into a side plank position, lifting your hips while resting on a bent knee and your forearm. Engage your core to align your hips, thighs and body in a straight line. Then extend your top leg and perform small up-and-down pulses. Remember to keep breathing — inhale and exhale deeply throughout. To increase the challenge, try performing this exercise with both legs fully extended. Perform 12 pulses per leg.
Exercise 4 for a cellulite-free stomach: the plank
Start by lying face down. Then prop yourself up on your forearms and the balls of your feet. Once in position, your body should form a straight line. To achieve this, engage your abs, glutes and the rest of your body. Be careful not to let your hips drop too low or rise too high. Hold this position for 1 minute.
Exercise 5 for a cellulite-free stomach: the bicycle
Lying on your back, place both hands behind your ears. Lift both legs so your knees are bent at 90° and your shins are parallel to the floor. Perform a cycling motion with your legs, extending them one at a time. At the same time, bring the opposite elbow to meet the knee as it bends.
For this exercise, engage your abs to avoid straining your neck and to lower your extended leg as close to the floor as possible. Complete 40 repetitions (1 rep = right leg + left leg).
Exercise 6 for a cellulite-free stomach: the scissors
For the 6th exercise in this stomach and hip session, lie on your back with your arms above your head or resting along your sides. Extend your legs and lift them slightly off the floor, making sure to keep your abs engaged. Hold this position and cross your legs over each other in an alternating scissor motion, keeping them straight throughout. Complete 30 repetitions (1 rep = right leg + left leg).
Make sure to keep your back flat against the floor throughout the exercise to avoid any strain.
Exercise 7 for a cellulite-free stomach: the love handle crunch
For the final exercise in this flat stomach session, lie on your side with your legs stacked on top of each other. Your knees should be slightly bent. Place one hand on the floor behind your head, then tilt your other elbow down to tap your hip. Return to the starting position and repeat the movement 20 times. Complete one side, then switch. Keep your abs engaged and avoid pulling on your neck.
To reduce cellulite on your stomach and hips, you can do this express session 3 to 4 times a week, on its own or alongside your regular workouts. That said, keep in mind that you’ll get the best results when you pair it with a balanced diet and regular pinch-and-roll massages to truly tackle your cellulite!
