Cellulite: These exercises can help
Are we really powerless against the whim of nature to equip us women with cellulite? According to studies, there is indeed a successful strategy in the fight against the stubborn orange peel skin: exercise. In our special we will tell you which sports you can use to fight cellulite – including some power exercises. Here we show you another 5 effective exercises against dents, which you can easily train at home!
Exercise 1: Knee bends
Sold as squats in fitness courses by ambitious trainers, the good old knee bend makes cellulite hard to deal with. You have to pay attention to this when you train the squat at home:
- It would be perfect if you could control your own posture during knee bends in a mirror.
- Do not bend your knees inwards when bending your legs – always bend them slightly outwards, just like the tips of your feet.
- Also important for this workout: the knees should not project so far beyond the tips of the feet during the bend, otherwise the joints will be strained.
- Keep your back straight!
- Be careful not to do the exercise too fast. Rather slow and with small pauses between the sequences.
Exercise 2: Wall Squats
Get down in the wall seat and hold for 60 seconds, repeat three times. This way you train your thighs and pom muscles. It is important to keep the position exactly, put your feet hip-wide apart, tense your stomach and keep your shoulder blades against the wall. Pay attention to the 90-degree angle of the thighs to the wall.
Exercise 3: Lift your leg!
A little sprint on the yoga mat gets us going. If we pull our knees up, we get our thighs even more in action.
Exercise 4: Lunge with knee change (Side Lunge)
Kneel down, bend the upper body forward with straight back, elbows at knee level, hands up. Then swing from right to left without returning to the upright position. In fitness courses this exercise for the legs is often called Side Lunges.
Exercise 5: The weighted bridge
The bridge is one of the simple exercises we have all done many times before. It is great for the back thighs and pom muscles. If you put a weight on the middle of your body to weigh it down, the exercise becomes even more intense.
