Summary
Cellulite is a disruption of the connective tissue and fascia under your skin. Cellulite typically occurs only on the thighs and buttocks and doesn’t occur on the stomach, arms, or breast tissue.
An enzyme involved in menstruation is often responsible for this disruption in collagen. If you only focus on losing weight without rebuilding the collagen in your legs, you will still have cellulite!
Consuming collagen will provide the raw materials, but will not correct the problem. To reduce cellulite, you must restore the connective tissue. Green coffee bean oil, which is often formulated with retinol, collagen, and green tea extract, can help reduce cellulite.
The connective tissue responsible for cellulite formation is highly responsive to mechanical stress. The best exercise for cellulite is intense, so it’s important to gradually ease into it with lower impact cellulite exercises.
These cellulite exercises stimulate new layers of connective tissue to tone legs and reduce cellulite. Slow squats and step-down lunges are two of the best leg and glute workouts for reducing cellulite. You can also perform box jumps or jump rope, depending on your fitness level.
The best exercise for cellulite also burns subcutaneous and visceral fat. To start, look for a hill that’s a bit uneven. Start by walking up the hill and finish by sprinting uphill for about ten to twenty seconds. Uphill sprinting significantly stimulates new connective tissue because it requires intense stabilization from your body. It takes time to get rid of cellulite because your body needs time to regrow collagen and connective tissue. To see results, expect to perform these cellulite exercises for six months to a year.

| 0:00.0 | What would be the absolute number one best thing to get rid of your cellulite on your thighs and your |
| 0:06.1 | buttocks? That's what we're going to talk about today. And it just so happens to be a very specific |
| 0:10.3 | type of exercise. What's really unique about cellulite is it only really occurs a four inches |
| 0:16.8 | above your knee in your thighs and your buttocks. Cilululet does not occur in your stomach, |
| 0:23.0 | arms, or breast tissue. What's even more interesting is really understanding what |
| 0:27.2 | cellulite really is. If you were to kind of go into the tissue and look underneath the |
| 0:32.3 | skin, you have this layer of muscle, then you have a fat layer, then you have a sheet of connective |
| 0:37.1 | tissue that's called fascia. |
| 0:38.7 | What cellulite is, is a disruption of this connective tissue fascia, and then the fat kind of |
| 0:44.4 | comes up and then it becomes very, very unorganized. |
| 0:48.1 | But the big question is why? |
| 0:49.7 | What happened to that layer of connective tissue that's supposed to be there? |
| 0:53.0 | Many people for many years had a confusion that cellulite was just a fat problem. It's really not. There's actually an enzyme |
| 0:59.5 | that dissolves collagen and there's too much of it. The primary trigger of that is going through |
| 1:05.2 | your menstrual cycle. Because when you think about it, when you go through a menstrual cycle, |
| 1:08.2 | you have to have this enzyme be released to create shedding of part of your uterus every single month. And so to create that shedding, |
| 1:16.0 | you have this enzyme release that comes up, gets rid of the collagen, and then you grow back another |
| 1:21.3 | layer. That's all interesting, but now what do we do about it? Do we just start eating more collagen |
| 1:25.7 | to get that connective tissue layer back? No, that's not |
| 1:28.5 | going to remove the cellulite. In fact, what you want to do is you want to put back that connected |
| 1:33.8 | tissue layer to keep everything nice and tight and toned. But if you just focus on losing weight |
| 1:39.7 | without building the collagen, you're still going to have the cellulite. If you start eating more |
