Cellulite is a disruption of the connective tissue and fascia under your skin. Cellulite typically occurs only on the thighs and buttocks and doesn’t occur on the stomach, arms, or breast tissue.

An enzyme involved in menstruation is often responsible for this disruption in collagen. If you only focus on losing weight without rebuilding the collagen in your legs, you will still have cellulite!

Consuming collagen will provide the raw materials, but will not correct the problem. To reduce cellulite, you must restore the connective tissue. Green coffee bean oil, which is often formulated with retinol, collagen, and green tea extract, can help reduce cellulite.

The connective tissue responsible for cellulite formation is highly responsive to mechanical stress. The best exercise for cellulite is intense, so it’s important to gradually ease into it with lower impact cellulite exercises.

These cellulite exercises stimulate new layers of connective tissue to tone legs and reduce cellulite. Slow squats and step-down lunges are two of the best leg and glute workouts for reducing cellulite. You can also perform box jumps or jump rope, depending on your fitness level.

The best exercise for cellulite also burns subcutaneous and visceral fat. To start, look for a hill that’s a bit uneven. Start by walking up the hill and finish by sprinting uphill for about ten to twenty seconds. Uphill sprinting significantly stimulates new connective tissue because it requires intense stabilization from your body. It takes time to get rid of cellulite because your body needs time to regrow collagen and connective tissue. To see results, expect to perform these cellulite exercises for six months to a year.
