Anti-cellulite workout

Stretches

These stretches should be performed after your warm up and following the workout:

Pre-workout: Hold each stretch for 10 seconds
Post-workout: Hold each stretch for 25 seconds

Back of the arm

• Stand up straight and bend your right arm up and over your head as if you were going to pat yourself on the back.

• Support your right arm with your left hand.

• Gently pull your right arm to the left until you feel a stretch. Hold and repeat stretch on the other arm.

Chest

• Standing straight, lift your arms out to the side and hold them behind you at the wrists. Keep the shoulders down. Hold.

Front of the thigh

• Stand tall and hold on to the back of a chair (or stand beside a wall and press against it) with your right hand.

• Bend your left leg, hold your left foot around the arch and gently move it backwards until it comes close to your bum.

• Keep your hips squared and stand up straight. Hold and repeat stretch on the other thigh.

Back of the thigh

• Lie on your back with your toes pointed up towards the ceiling. This will keep your hips aligned.

• Raise your right leg straight up in the air. Grab it above the knee with both hands and gently pull it towards your chest.

• Keep your hips down on the floor and the upper body relaxed.

• If you feel pressure behind your knee, it means you're straining the ligaments and you should ease up on the stretch. Hold and repeat stretch on the other leg.

Calves

• Stand up and take a large step backwards with your left leg. Both feet should face forwards. Make sure your right knee is over the ankle.

• Place you hands on your hips to maintain your balance.

• Press you left heel down to the floor. You'll feel your calf muscle start to burn as it stretches. Hold and repeat on the other leg.
