Exercises to eliminate cellulite on your buttocks
Here are the 6 best exercises to fight cellulite on your buttocks and tone up effectively.
1- The glute bridge
This move will help you strengthen your glutes, your transverse and rectus abdominis — and even your back!
Lie on your back with your knees bent, feet about 20 cm from your buttocks and hip-width apart.
Then lift your hips off the floor until your thighs, hips and torso are aligned. Engage your core and squeeze your glutes. Hold the position for a few seconds, then repeat.
Remember to exhale as you contract and inhale as you release.
This exercise primarily targets the gluteus maximus — the largest and most powerful muscle in the buttocks.
2- Donkey kicks, the must-do move to eliminate cellulite on your buttocks
Start on all fours, hands aligned with your shoulders and knees directly below your hips. Lift your knees slightly off the floor, resting on your tiptoes. To properly engage your core, your knees should stay off the floor throughout the entire exercise.
Then alternate leg extensions towards the back. Be careful not to raise your leg too high, to protect your lower back. Exhale as you extend your leg and inhale as you bring it back in.
3- Lunges
Standing tall with your feet hip-width apart, back straight and hands on your hips, take a big step forward.
Then bend your front knee to 90°. Push through your leg to return to the starting position.
Switch legs and repeat.
This exercise primarily targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes and calves.
4- Squats, essential for eliminating cellulite on your buttocks
It’s the most popular exercise among fitness enthusiasts — and for good reason: it’s incredibly effective for eliminating cellulite on your buttocks! Stand with your feet hip-width apart and bend your knees, pushing your buttocks back as you lower down. The key to great squats: go down slowly and come back up faster. Keep your back neutral and your weight in your heels! Variations: try holding a weight in your hands, or add a jump between each squat.
5- The fire hydrant
Get on all fours with your hands shoulder-width apart and your knees hip-width apart. Open your right leg out to the side so that the inner thigh is parallel to the floor. Engage your core and squeeze your thighs, then bring the leg back without shifting your hips. Repeat the movement. This exercise targets the gluteus medius to help you achieve rounder, more sculpted buttocks with less cellulite.
6- Elevated lunges, your allies for eliminating cellulite on your buttocks
Hold a weight in each hand and use a chair, sofa or bench for your feet. Place one foot on the bench, turn your back to it and plant your other foot firmly on the floor for balance. Keep your back straight. Bend both legs and lower down, squeezing your glutes. Rise back up slowly. Repeat on the other leg. This exercise primarily targets the glutes and quadriceps, and helps strengthen the hamstrings and glutes.
Anti-cellulite massage for firmer buttocks
To complement your exercise routine, nothing beats an anti-cellulite massage for sculpted, cellulite-free buttocks. The perfect tool for this? The Anti-Cellulite Cupping Massager. Super easy to use, it perfectly replicates the pinch-and-roll massage, essential for targeting cellulite.
- Grab a massage oil suited to the pinch-and-roll technique.
- You can choose from our anti-cellulite oils: the classic massage oil or the anti-cellulite shower gel, which cleanses the body and lets you use the cupping massager in the shower to save time.
- Apply a little of your chosen oil to your buttocks.
- Take your cupping massager and work over each buttock for 3 minutes using small circular movements. The suction effect helps draw excess fat out of the adipose cells, while the gliding motion drains it away for better elimination. The pinch-and-roll action also stimulates microcirculation.
- Follow this firm-buttocks routine for about twenty days and see the positive results on your cellulite!
Anti-cellulite treatments to complement your massages
To maximise the benefits of your buttocks massages, nothing beats a skincare routine! It should be easy to follow and, above all, deliver real results. To help eliminate cellulite on your buttocks, we recommend:
- Starting your skincare routine in the shower by gently exfoliating your skin. Our Cellulite Scrub, enriched with anti-cellulite caffeine and micro-exfoliating beads, takes just moments to apply. On damp skin, gently massage your buttocks in small circles for a few minutes, then rinse. Skin is left clean, free of dead cells and beautifully soft!
- Opting for a 100% firming cryo treatment! The Cellulite Cream brings the benefits of cryotherapy to the cellulite on your buttocks. Its refreshing natural actives activate lipolysis in the targeted area, much like cryolipolysis. Under the effect of cold, your body draws on its fat reserves. Cellulite gradually diminishes with each application. Hello firmer, smoother, lifted-looking buttocks!
Anti-cellulite foods: which ones should you choose?
Without keeping an eye on your diet, cellulite can develop — including on your buttocks. No need to panic! By choosing wholesome foods, you can keep it in check!
Prioritise protein
Eat plenty of protein, especially if you’re following a regular fitness routine like the one described above. Your glute muscles need protein to build and tone. For a shapely, cellulite-free behind, opt for lean proteins from white meat and fish. And don’t overlook plant-based proteins, which are easily absorbed by the body — think soy, legumes and nuts.
Eat your vegetables!
Vegetables are rich in fibre and water, both excellent for combating water retention. Be mindful of eating too many raw vegetables, which can sometimes be hard to digest. Opt for gentle cooking methods to preserve their vitamins and minerals: steamed, lightly sautéed with a little fat, grilled or in soups.
Don’t skip carbohydrates
Don’t cut out carbs — just choose wholegrains and limit your intake to once or twice a day. Ideally, avoid slow-release carbs at dinner, which should remain a light meal.
Add healthy fats and dairy to your diet
Think avocados, oily fish, a drizzle of olive or rapeseed oil in your dishes, and quality dairy products such as fromage blanc, fresh cheese, and goat’s or sheep’s milk.
Finally, drink plenty of water
Aim for 1.5 to 2 litres of water a day. And if you’re prone to water retention, harness the benefits of draining drinks such as green tea, detox herbal teas or our Cellulite Drainer. Made with green tea and guarana — a fat-burning plant from the Amazon — it supports the natural elimination of toxins and waste that can slow down your body’s ability to reduce cellulite. A one-month course, with 20 ml of drainer diluted in water daily, can help you get rid of cellulite.
This dietary rebalancing should help you rediscover beautiful buttocks — more toned and less prone to cellulite.
How to keep your buttocks cellulite-free?
Sorry ladies, but there’s no secret: you have to keep up the effort! Cellulite is a natural phenomenon that affects 90% of women. It’s partly caused by female hormones, which encourage the body to store fat — including around the buttocks — in preparation for a possible pregnancy. Women’s skin also has a particular structure, meaning that adipocytes, when full, tend to distort the surrounding tissue. That’s why cellulite has that “orange peel” appearance that bothers so many of us… In short, to maintain cellulite-free buttocks: consistently apply the advice outlined above — exercise, massage, skincare and diet — without letting up!
