Follow this eight-week plan and reduce unwanted cellulite for good

Forget fad diets and creams. Exercise is the ingredient to firm, tighten and condition those trouble spots. This resistance-training programme will tighten your thighs, legs, bottom, back, arms and abs.

The workout
This 45-minute workout should be done two to three times a week for eight weeks. For optimum results, include a 20-minute brisk walk afterwards. Be sure to drink two litres of still water a day.

The idea is to train hard and fast. Move quickly from exercise to exercise. Don't wait around with the rest periods in-between sets. Your muscles will tighten and flabby bits will firm up. What you'll need Warm up Pre-workout stretches Exercise routine Post-workout stretches

What you'll need Light dumbbells - 2/3 kg maximum An exercise mat Dyna-Band

These three pieces of equipment will cost approximately £20.00 and are available from any leading sports retailer.

Warm up Gently run on the spot for three minutes. This is a safe and effective way to raise your pulse rate.

Perform 15 star jumps.

Repeat running on the spot for a further two minutes.
