Cellulite-busting exercises

Aerobics will help you to burn fat and excess calories. When you burn fat, you'll be getting rid of cellulite. As a rule of thumb, the harder you work during a session, the better results you'll get in less time.

Walking is better than nothing, but will do little for your fitness levels and won't burn anywhere near the amount of calories that running, skipping or an aerobics class will.

Although running may not appeal initially, it's worth considering as you can do it anywhere and it targets the muscles of the lower body, where cellulite is abundant.

Think about running with a friend, or even join a group if you're new to exercise. The Women's Running Network (www.womensrunningnetwork.co.uk) is a good point of contact for running groups that cater for the absolute beginner.
