Anti cellulite exercise can be effective with the proper diet and possibly a few minor lifestyle changes. Self-proclaimed experts have a variety of different suggestions, but in order to be effective cellulite reduction exercises should target the, buttocks, thighs, abdomen and pelvic region, the areas where the deposits are most likely to occur. Here's a look at what a complete plan would include.

Nutritional Factors

Reduce the amount of fat, simple carbohydrates (white bread, sugar, etc) and salt in your diet. Increase the amount of dietary fiber that you consume. That would include fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Remember that bread of any kind is not a whole grain; oatmeal is. If it looks like a grain, then it's a whole grain.

If it looks like plain old white bread, it's processed and bleached white flour.

Anti cellulite exercise will be more effective if you incorporate it with a high protein, low fat, low carb diet.

Clothing and Circulation

You should never wear underwear that fits tightly around your thighs when you are doing cellulite reduction exercises or at any other time. It limits the blood flow and encourages cellulite's formation. Wearing g-strings, small baggy shorts and sleeping nude can reduce the effects that undergarments have.

Supplements, Herbs, Vitamins & Minerals

Dietary supplements can be a beneficial addition to anti cellulite exercise. The goal of these supplements is to improve circulation, the body's fat-burning ability and increase energy levels. That way, you'll feel 'up to' exercising.

Supplements that are beneficial include L-carnitine, ginkgo biloba, rutin, Indian chestnut and caffeine, if you are not already drinking a number of caffeinated beverages, every day.

As an important side note, there is no solid evidence via research studies to show that superficially applied creams and/or lotions are effective.

Cellulite Reduction Exercises

Technically speaking, any kind of physical activity will help prevent and reduce its appearance, but one of the most effective cellulite reduction exercises is leg lifts performed on your side, with your hips at a 90 degree angle. This targets on the inner-thighs and outer-thighs. Stomach crunches of all types work on the lower abdominal region. Lunges work on the hips and butt.

If you are not used to to this type of physical activity, you should look for professional guidance. A DVD or an e-book will show you the proper form. If you don't use the proper form, you can injure your back. Since sitting and standing in one place increases cellulite's formation, a back injury can add to your problem. So, learn how to do an anti cellulite exercise, before you begin.
