Does anyone really know how to get rid of cellulite? The answer to this question would remove a problem so many women and some men face for the better part of of their adult lives.

Many of women find cellulite to be extremely embarrassing and would give almost anything to finally get rid of it. All in all, nearly ninety percent of women have it to a certain degree. Also known as cottage cheese skin, cellulite is normally found on the hips and thighs as well as other areas where fat accumulates.

Although many people have surgery to eliminate cellulite, it’s usually not required or even recommended. Not surprisingly, diet and exercise can help to reduce cellulite in the legs, as well as all over the body.

Fortunately, cellulite reduction can be cost effective and within reach for most sufferers. You can say no to liposuction along with any other quick fix you may be considering. While some commercially available treatments will work in the beginning, you normally will need to continue using them for lasting results. Most treatments produce temporary results and must be repeated to continue the desired look.

The real way to get good results continues to be diet and exercise. While not perfect, you can make great strides in the appearance of your skin with a bit of common sense and consistency. Of course it’s always much easier to know what to do than it is to take action.

Fat burning activities along with resistance training is the best way to smooth and firm the skin. Care must be taken, however, if you experience issues with your joints or have had previous injuries.

If think you’re out of shape or have problems with your joints, water activities might be the safest alternative for you – and they can help get rid of that cellulite on your legs. Here’s an example of a possible workout:

Aqua walking – it’s tough on cellulite and easy on you and your joints. It’s less likely you’ll injure yourself with exercises in the water when compared with normal workouts. Begin by moving into the water about waist high and then start walking as briskly as you can. Keep your arms bent at your side and pumping as if you were walking though the neighborhood.

Try to perform this workout 2 or 3 times each week and once it gets easy, progress into deeper water. You might also want to add water weights to get an upper body workout for an added challenge.

Once you’re finished with your walking workout, swim around a bit as a cool down and stretch. If you’ve been wondering how to get rid of cellulite and enjoy the water too, you’ll find this a fun way to workout and reduce cellulite at the same time.
