Cellulite is lumpy skin that appears on fatty areas of the body, usually in women. According to the Mayo Clinic, exercise and weight loss are effective in reducing the appearance of cellulite on the body. Cellulite occurs most often on the legs, midsection and buttocks; target these sections when you are working out in order to see greatest results. Incorporate cellulite-busting exercises into your daily workout routine to get a cellulite-free body.
