Lose overall body fat. Cellulite is just a fancy word for fat that's hanging out in the wrong place at the wrong time.

With that said. Do squats, and lunges, and single leg/split squats!

squats
barbell step ups

as for the fat loss.... well its all in your diet and cellulite is genetic. Post up your diet and we can give you some more insight.

Reverse curls are more isolating than squats. Plus you get that unique burn that hurts so good!

You cannot "spot" reduce. It is from an overall clean diet and exercise plan. Spot reducing is a big myth. It will come in time from your diet and exercise if you stay with it.

or you can just look through the site and find a bunch for free. or a bunch of ideas...

My theory is if you can't kill it or grow it or harvest it then you probably shouldn't be eating it.

I read it, amazing concept that made a lot of sense. If I ever had another kid, I would put my woman on that protocol for sure.

false. Cardio isn't necessary for fat loss. It is helpful but controlling your diet is the crucial point. Lifting weights burns more calories than cardio anyway.

true it is not meant only for fat loss also for endurance, leg toning and hell some people just love to run, just saying that it also is used for fat loss, whenever i have cut down on weight i incorporate lots of cardio and HIIT and thats my way to cut down, and yes diet is key!

An hour on the track at medium intensity, vs. an hour in the gym at medium intensity..

when you take into consideration rest periods and things of that nature, cardio is going to burn more calories nearly every time.

the point is still valid when you look at it at a case by case basis but on the picture yeah you are right. I was just pointing this out because MMA didn't say anything about lifting just cardio.

Vertical leg thrusts (I believe they're called) are great, but work the abs/core much more than the butt.

Yo get rid of cellulite the same way you do any other fat (because that's all it is: FAT); by decreasing your bodyfat levels! And you do that through diet and exercise.

I would highly suggest that you look at your diet, and clean that up, and get into a regular regime.

As for 'toning' your butt, the best thing for building up a high, tight butt (I'm assuming that's what you're asking) is to run stairs. You can do other exercises as well to aid in building the muscle that will make it "look nice" (i.e. squats, lunges, deadlifts, etc.)

I agree with ^ ..... I have a five story building I work in and run the stairs all the time... Running stairs = losing fat = tight butt.... The ceilings in the building I work in are 18f high (each floor), so the stairs I'm running are way more steps than your ordinary..... Good luck.

agreed, it is an overall body issue rather than specific location issue

I could be wrong... But I do think you can spot reduce if your body fat is under 9-10% using Lipoderm U or Napalm.... I know I've used both and had great results and I was around 12% when using..... But in no way will it work if your BF% is high.

You can only "spot reduce" like that by getting rid of water, so that it APPEARS leaner. But technically, you lose bodyfat (BF) from all OVER...Such products would definitely be a waste of time if you aren't ALREADY relatively lean.

Actually, cardio will burn calories used at the TIME. Weights will burn the calories used at the time AS WELL as AFTERWARDS. Weights also increases metabolism by aiding in increasing muscle mass, which burns MORE calories. So technically, lifting weights DOES burn more calories than cardio, which in turn will burn more BF. I have said it before: You DON'T need to do ANY cardio if you want to lose BF so long as your diet is right and you're doing resistance training; it's a personal preference thing (and let's you get away with eating more whilst losing the BF).

Since you just had a baby and not the ok yet from your Dr. The best thing to do is getting your nutrition under control. Another consideration is if your nursing you still want to make sure to get enough calories and nutrients in your diet. Once you get the ok from your Dr. Start slowly with some light resistance training and cardio. Be careful not to over due in the beginning. You will will gradually be able to train a little harder.
I also agree running stairs is great for the butt.

I don't think she gives a f**k about how to tone her butt anymore :lol:

Just another New year resoultionary who wants to change but when they find out what they need to do, well, it can wait, till next year :lol:

She already started another thread in the diet section and I gave her a basic program to follow, no follow up.

If you look at her profile, you can find the thread she started.

If you are breastfeeding then you wil burn more calories anyway. If you start to heavy of an exercise regime this early you could start bleeding again.

Maybe start by either putting baby in a stroller or sling and doing some moderate walking.

Without knowing if you are breastfeeding it is impossible to give diet advice and how far out postpartum you are. Stitches and leg work would be a bad thing.
