Cellulite tends to build up around the calves, thighs and buttocks. Toning your legs every day can be part of a wellbeing routine that also cares for firmer-looking, toned skin! Here are some simple exercises you can do at home, how often to aim for, and how to pair them with cupping massage in a routine you can actually stick to.
Toning your legs and caring for the look of your skin
There are targeted exercises that gradually work the legs, as part of a routine that cares for the look of your skin. These exercises can also help round off your routine for legs prone to water retention.
Patience and consistency are key: aim to do these exercises at least every other day! We recommend using the Cellublue Anti-Cellulite Cupping Cup in your massage routine. The Cellublue Cupping Cup (see how to use it) replicates the pinch-and-roll massage technique, whatever your cellulite type. This regular routine becomes a real moment devoted to caring for your skin, week after week.
Exercise 1
A great move that engages the legs! Stand tall with your back straight and feet slightly apart, bend your knees and lower yourself until your glutes reach calf level. You can extend your arms in front of you for balance. Then slowly rise back up. Do 2 sets of 15!
The cupping tool that replicates pinching and rolling, 3 minutes per zone
- The professionals' technique, at home: you lift, glide, and release, and the tool grips the skin fold like a manual pinching and rolling
- Soft silicone that fits thighs, buttocks, stomach, and arms
- 3 minutes per zone, every day, always with a massage oil so the tool glides
Exercise 2
For this exercise, you can use a step and do it every day for 30 minutes, or simply use a stair, a low stool or any similar prop. Place one foot on the step, then raise your body until the leg on the step is fully straight, with the other leg at the same level. Step back down, then repeat with the other leg. This exercise engages your legs and glutes. Do 2 sets of 30 for each leg!
Exercise 3
A great move that engages your legs and glutes! Simply lie on your back with your arms alongside your body. Bend your knees. The exercise involves performing a bridge by gently lifting your hips off the floor. Hold for a few seconds, then lower back down while squeezing your glutes and even your core if you wish. Do 2 sets of 20!
