what exercises help tone butt and tummy and get rid of cellulite?
I’m am fairly thin already i would just like a nice smooth look instead of the belly pouch and i would really liked toned legs, arms and perhaps my bottom to even have a little lift, i’ve also noticed small dimples on the back of my legs.. well i’ve had them for years and i’d like them to go away. i’m starting at a gym here soon and i’d really love to get some ideas on what to do when i get in there besides just running… any ideas… thanks!
A best bet for beginners is a good ol’ treadmill, start out slow to warm up, after 5 minutes you can increase your speed. And you don’t HAVE to run, walking uphill is as effective as running for banishing cellulite….If you’re not used to exercise, don’t try to do too much in the beginning. Build your intensity gradually. After a couple of weeks try one of those newer ellipitical machines, they’re really awesome and you work up a sweat a whole lot faster, so you know you’re going to start seeing results in no time. (Well, give it at least a month to start seeing results..) But you say you are thin so you shouldn’t have to wait long at all for results.
Try some of the classes they offer as well…I like Pilates. Some people like step classes, I hate them! (No coordination here! lol) Add some hand weight training to build some arm strength. Just keep searching and trying out what you they think, and you’ll find something you like. Good luck and have fun! It’s a great way to meet new people, too.

I have a 60 year old friend who swears the only thing that got rid of her cellulite was vibration training.
She does 30 minutes 5x a week.
To "tone" you need to do a proper heavy weight training session once or twice a week.
On a woman this won’t make you look like Arnie – not enough testosterone.
Besides, muscle is more compact than fat, and the more muscle you put on, the more fat you will burn anyway because muscle is living tissue.

My personal recommendation would be a rowing machine. It’s easy to use and has no impact (unlike tredmills) therefore causing no joint damage.
The best thing about these is that you get the Cardio workout that you need in order to lose fat. You can’t get muscle toning without this because the muscle tone is hidden.
On top of this it will work your whole body including abs, back, legs, arms and bum, which is what you seem to want.
I promise you that you will get better results with this than by running, and you will enjoy it alot more aswell. I have found that it makes it easier to push yourself than running, which gives better results aswell.
