Cellulite is a mainly aesthetic problem, which affects all kinds of people. Although some types are linked to obesity, this is not the only cause, since it is also present in thin women.
Although there are different types and causes, and the severity varies, in general the problem arises from three specific factors:
- Circulation and hormonal activation
- The genetic
- Sedentary lifestyle.
Although nothing can be done for the genetic issue, the other two factors can be modified.
Therefore, we present these six exercises. If you repeat this routine every day for two weeks, you will notice an incredible improvement in your legs. (If you find it too difficult to do it every day, you can take a day break every other day.)
