Exercises for cellulite on the thigh

One of the most common localizations of cellulite are the thighs. The following two exercises are designed to train the front and back thigh muscles.

• To strengthen the back thigh muscles, the so-called side lift exercise can be performed.

  First, you move into a lying lateral position on a firm but comfortable surface. If you start with your left leg, you lie on the right side of your body. The head is placed on the right arm which is stretched out in extension of the body.

  The right leg lies slightly bent on the floor. Now lift the stretched left leg with slightly downward pointing toes by about half a meter and let it slowly sink again. This movement is performed ten times before changing sides.

  The exercise should be repeated two to three times, depending on your training condition.

• A similar exercise is used to strengthen the inner thigh muscles. You also move into a lying lateral position. Now not the upper leg is lifted, but the leg lying on the floor is moved up and down.

  If you start again with the left leg, lie on the left side of the body. The right leg is placed on the floor at an angle so that the left leg has room to move. The left leg is now also raised and lowered ten times.

  The exercise is repeated two to three times on each side.

• In addition to a training of the rear thigh muscles, an exercise in the quadruped position also strengthens the pom muscles.A thin gym mat as a carpet pad makes the exercise a little more comfortable for elbows and knees. You move into the four-footed position. The arms are bent at a 90-degree angle, the forearms rest on the mat.

  The legs are also bent at a right angle, so that the knees are at hip level. The head should not be raised, but should be an extension of the spine in a straight line. Now lift the right leg from the floor at a right angle so that the soles of the feet are facing the ceiling.

  Stay in this position for a few seconds and slowly lower your leg back towards the floor without touching it. Important – a hollow back should be avoided urgently. Raise and lower your leg ten times and then change sides. The exercise can be repeated twice on each side.
