Cellulite, also known as Dermatomyoliposclerosis (DMLS) in medical term, refers to deposits of subcutaneous fat, toxins and fibrous tissues that give the skin a dimpled or cottage cheese appearance.
It affects 85% of women in all forms and ages and generally manifests in body parts such as hips, thighs, tummies, buttocks and bumpy areas of the legs.
Although cellulite is a very common skin disorder, its unsightly, dimpled appearance simply makes you feel self-conscious.
So, how to get rid of cellulite for free?
If you are thinking of getting rid of cellulite without spending a dime, what you can do is do exercise. Exercise will not eliminate your cellulite entirely but it will surely help you lose weight, get your blood flowing and tone up your body and thus help banish that orange peel skin.
Exercises, especially walking, cycling and jogging are great because they really target hips, thighs and bottoms to stimulate to eliminate toxins and excess lipid deposits.
Squats and lunges are also the best moves that bring amazing results if you follow step by step instructions. You can do squats and lunges anywhere and they only take seconds.
Before you start doing a squat, stand with your feet hip-width apart. Make sure you keep your weight in your heels. Don’t lean forward.
Imagine you sit down on an invisible chair, so your bottom is roughly two feet off the ground.
Then lift yourself back up and repeat. Keep your arms straight out in front to help you balance. Repeat 20 times.
Before doing a lunge, stand with your feet hip width apart. With your hands on your hips, step forward on your left leg. Make sure your feet are roughly three feet apart before you bend down so your front knee is bent and your back foot comes off the floor.
Hold for a couple of seconds, then lift yourself up and bend down lunge again. Repeat 15 times on each leg.
Before commencing any exercise, you should warm up your self for 2 to 3 minutes; similarly, cool down for 2 to 3 minutes at the end before you rest.
Cellulite exercises are free. All you need is your time and discipline.
If your budget allows and you want to get rid of cellulite fast, you can consider one of the best kept celebrity secrets to reduce the appearance of cellulite: anti-cellulite creams.
