Anaerobic Exercises to reduce cellulite
Squat-
A ninety degree angle in the thighs and never extending the knees
beyond the toes are essential. In addition, it is helpful to contract
the muscles of the abdomen when performing this exercise to protect your
lower back area. Click here, to check out exercise instructions.
Lunges-
When you are performing a lunge, you should always remain in control
and never let your knee to extend pass your toe. Also, you always want
to keep your thigh at a ninety degree angle. Click here, for
instructions.
Donkey Kick-
One of the best exercises to tone the backs
of your thighs is the Donkey Kick. In this, you get down on all fours,
and then kick one leg behind you, all the while keeping it bent at a 90
degree angle. An exercise that targets the sides of your thighs is the L
Lift, in which you lie on your side, and lift on leg straight up in the
air as high as it will go.
Leg extension-
This works the
quadriceps (at the fronts of the thighs). With your ankles secured
behind the cushioned pad and toes pointing straight ahead, slowly extend
your legs until they are stretching straight out in front of you, hold
and then lower them back down. To get maximum benefit, go slowly and
exhale as you’re lifting your legs up. Do as many reps as you can
manage. After two or three sessions, see whether you can slightly
increase the ‘hold’ when your legs are stretched out.
One-legged
buttock squeeze-
Lie on your back, tighten your abdominal and do a
pelvic tilt. Keep your hands by your sides. Bring your right foot over
your left knee and place it on your left high. Tighten both your buttock
muscles and lift your hips off the floor. Squeeze your left buttock for
2 counts and release for 2 counts. Repeat with the other leg. Keep your
hips still and your abdominal held in tight; do not over arch your
back; do not hold your breath.
Hip addiction:
Lie on your left
side supporting your head on your hand and with the other hand on the
floor for balance. Bend your right leg and rest it on the floor in front
of your left one. Keeping your left leg straight lift it up from the
flour to strengthen the muscles of the inner thigh.
