Swimming
If you can't run for any reason, you can always venture to the swimming pool for your fat-busting sessions. But remember that intensity is key, so no leisurely breaststroke!

If necessary, have some lessons to ensure that your stroke is up to scratch and that you're working the correct muscles. Holding a float and kicking your legs is a good way to target cellulite-prone areas. Maximise the workout by squeezing your buttocks as you kick.

Training with weights or any other kind of resistance is important when tackling cellulite. Not only will toned muscles improve the appearance of cellulite, you'll also increase your body's proportion of lean muscle mass. This means that you'll have less fat tissue overall and, even better, muscle tissue burns up to nine times more calories than fat!
