Excercise is the best way to go. No need to do high intensity workouts. It will take some time, but it will definately reduce the cellulite and your saggy knees. Drink a lot of water as well as that can help reduce the appearance of cellulite. Try playing some sport (with others so you don't get fed up and keep it up) like tennis, swimming or just jogging/biking/going up the stairs.

EXCERCISE IS THE KEY.
As well as having a healthy diet.

Good luck.. =)

Woah! I was just discussing this w/my mom today, since my sister is getting a promotion to "Supervisor of Homeopathic Medicine" in her company. She told me…long ago and for SEVERAL BORING HOURS…about how the fascia causes cellulite (when combined with fat). The fascia is like a "web" of connective tissue under the skin and even a little fat can "ooze" up through, causing a dimpled look (says Sis).

This is why "cures" focus on MASSAGE so often. It stretches the fascia and makes the fat less visible. Also, losing FAT helps, too, but I've seen fairly thin women (it's usually women, I don't know why) with cellulite! So…massage away, I guess!

Anything's worth a try if you're a fatty.

Wow, i'm not so sure that what he said is right. I never in my life heard that cellulite is 'generic' and that you'll be stuck forever!

Hell no. I say, walk everyday and get those thigh muscles pumped up. Cellulite is fat deposits and you've got to get some muscle built up to take the place of the fat deposits. Also – rub your thighs very firmly with soap in the shower for about 5 or 10 minutes. OR – getting a massage helps break up fat deposits and fatty tissue, but you must replace fat with muscle.

by the way, are there other family members with this problem? I just never heard that before. Don't mean I'm 100%. I just don't believe it's generic.

I personally notice that exercising daily will help it. Take a moderately paced walk everyday for about twenty to thirty minutes. Try some squats, while holding five lb. weights. It doesn't have to be a lot all at once. Just make sure you get cardiovascular exercise everyday, and some muscle toning exercises in. Try to keep to it about five days a week, do what you can. Try to cut down on any junk food, and just give it time. Patience and persistence will pay off after a few months.

Yes i have i have none at all on my belly but on my legs for some reason , my widwife said that bio oil or coco butter should clear it up .congrats on the baby !!

Squats, butt lifts, lunges and ham string excercises work best.
Also, you can check out Velasmooth, Endermologie and Mesotherapy.

Cellulite is caused by two things, 1) Fatty tissue and 2) Connective tissue.

The first can be taken care of primarily by diet and working out. Drink your fair share of water, don't eat too much and work out to maintain your metabolism.

The second is more problematic and gets worse as you age because collagen is not regenerated so the tissue becomes less elastic and of course most people gain weight as they age because of a less active life style and a drop in metabolism. This is where Velasmooth or mesotherapy come in handy.

To get thinner thighs you have to diet and exercise.

I suggest you go to the gym at least 3 times a week. At the gym you should be doing 20-30 minutes of cardio, lifting a moderate amount of weights and maybe doing some yoga. I have found that yoga is an excellent way to make your body look extremely toned.

As for the diet, you need to eat less to lose. That’s the general rule. Of course don’t starve yourself, just eat balanced meals. Cut down on sugar and carbs and increase the amount of proteins you eat. Protein will feed your muscles. Add a daily multivitamin to your diet as well and drink a lot of water. Water has been proven to help minimize the effects of cellulite.

To really knock out that cellulite you might want to add a cream to the mix. I use one called Body Shape and its done wonders for me. I found it here http://www.myireviews.com/cellulite-cream/ while researching the best cellulite creams.

I hope I’ve helped you a bit. Good luck!

Try skin brushing. This technique is very simple and relatively inexpensive. Simply use a loofah sponge or a soft body brush and scrub your hips, thighs and belly. This not only helps you to exfoliate, but it also stimulates blood flow and supports lymph functions. This will help to minimize the appearance of cellulite.

A multi-faceted approach works best when trying to remove cellulite. Try matching a diet and exercise program with topical creams that include anti-oxidants.
