It’s summer! Your beach holiday is just around the corner — and with it comes ice creams, cocktails, fritters and endless aperitifs… So there’s no excuse to let things slide, especially when you can work out without even leaving your towel. These exercises will tone your whole silhouette and help fight cellulite. Not bad, right?
Complete 30 repetitions of each exercise and repeat the full circuit 2 times.
Remember to warm up before you start your session, and to stretch gently afterwards.
Plank
This exercise is ideal for targeting cellulite, wherever it may be!
Position yourself on the floor, resting on your elbows, forearms and the balls of your feet.
Once in position, the goal is to engage your core as much as possible, along with the rest of your body.
The most important thing when doing a plank is not to lift or drop your hips too much. Your body should stay as straight as possible, in a horizontal line.
Hold this position for 1 minute.
Scissors
Abs, glutes, legs… your whole body works with this exercise.
Lie on your back, arms extended above your head or along your sides.
With legs straight, lift them slightly off the floor while engaging your core. Make sure to keep your lower back pressed firmly against the ground to avoid any strain.
Hold the position, then cross your legs while keeping them straight — alternate right leg over left and vice versa — then return to the starting position.
Love handle crunch
Want to target cellulite on your stomach and hips? This exercise is perfect!
Lie on your left side, legs stacked on top of each other with knees slightly bent.
Place your left hand behind your head. Tilt your left elbow down towards your hip. You’ll feel your oblique abs working to tackle those love handles! Keep your core engaged and avoid pulling on your neck.
Return to the starting position and repeat the movement. Complete one side, then switch to the other.
Push-up
Just like the plank, this exercise helps fight the appearance of dimples all over the body.
Start by getting into the classic push-up position.
Lie face down, hands flat on the floor with elbows bent.
Push up through your arms so your body lifts off the ground, balancing on the balls of your feet. Arms are fully extended and your back is straight.
Then lower your body towards the floor, bending your elbows outward, before pushing back up to the starting position.
Bridge
And one final exercise to finish off that orange-peel skin!
Lie on your back, arms along your sides, head straight and knees bent. Press your feet firmly into the floor — they’ll act as your anchor.
Bring your knees as close to your glutes as possible.
Engage your core, then push through your feet to lift your hips, squeezing your glutes as you rise.
Your hips, thighs and knees should form a straight line. Lower back down to the starting position, back against the towel, then repeat.
