Say buh-bye to cellulite
Dealing with cellulite is less than fun and since there is no such thing as spot training your only hope is to build the muscles in your legs. There are those who have taken drastic majors by having the fat sucked out from here and there on their bodies but why resort to that if not necessary when you can lose the lumps and bumps while gaining show stopping legs.
Cindy Whitmarsh who has trained professional athletes and celebs believes that with the proper focused lower body exercises you can say ta-tah to that dreaded fat.
Here are her five cellulite busting ways to tighten tone and lose the jiggle.
Burpees
There is no doubt that they are tough, but no one ever said that working out was easy. Pair them with a jump squat for two to three sets of 10-15 reps.
Curtsy Lunge
As polite as it may be to curtsy doing it while lunging is just impolite to fat. But who cares? Do them while holding weights at your side for two to three sets of 20-30 reps.
Plyometrics Lunges
These often used by serious athletes who want to have strong legs. Just make sure to maintain a 90 degree angle when completing your two to three sets of 10-20 reps.
Dead Lifts
Yes the name of this exercise is nothing short of intimidating. But the results it provides are astounding. Keep your core tight, your lower back flat and your weights light especially in the beginning. Complete two to three sets of 10-15 reps.
Low squatting Jacks
I won’t lie I have test driven and they are painful, but worth it. Squat as if you are about to sit while holding your hands behind your head as you bend your hips then jack wide and back in! Try for two to three sets of 10-20 reps.
11 WAYS TO FIND YOUR MOTIVATION MOJO
7. Use the buddy system. “Working out with someone else is not only more fun but also more motivating; you’re less likely to skip the workout if you know you have to meet someone,” says Cindy Whitmarsh, KUSI-TV fitness expert and creator of Ultrafit Nutrition Systems. “Working out with someone else also holds you accountable. “I’ve found that accountability is one of the most important things to keep people on track,” adds Whitmarsh. “Even if it’s a friend who will do your measurements weekly—it really works!”

Cindy Whitmarsh is the creator of the creator of the ULTRAFit Video series, among others. Here’s her favorite move, the Step 360 Shimmy Burpee:
You will need a Step 360 or a similar device to challenge your balance as you do this move. Here’s how you do it: Squat on the Step 360 and shimmy on the step from side-to-side holding the squat for 10 seconds.
See Picture 1
Next, jump down to the ground behind the Step 360 and land in a squat.
See Picture 2
One you’re in a squat, do a burpee: Place your hands on the Step 360 n front of you and in one movement shoot both feet out behind you so you’re in a push-up position (in the “up” position); that’s a burpee.

(If that’s too difficult you can extend one leg and then the other, and then bring one foot in and then the other to come back to a squat).
Once you’ve returned to a squat, jump back on the step for another shimmy on the step from side-to-side, holding the squat for 10 seconds. Repeat the move for 4 to 8 reps.
