Instructions

• 1

  Burn extra body fat. Reduce the number of fat cells in your body to help reduce cellulite on the thighs. Choose low-fat foods such as vegetables, fruits, fish and turkey. Incorporate at least 30 minutes of cardiovascular workouts daily, including jogging, biking or aerobics, to burn and reduce body weight.

• 2

  Exercise your lower body. Toning exercises targeting the lower body can strengthen the thigh muscles and reduce the appearance of cellulite. Join a Pilates class, which features lower body exercises such as leg circles and leg lifts. Perform squats and lunges to smooth and tone the thighs.

• 3

  Drink more water to eliminate fluid retention. Body fat isn't the only cause of cellulite. Fluid retention due to medications, excess sodium intake or lack of fluids can trap water in tissues and trigger cellulite in the thighs. Drink 8 glasses of water a day and reduce your salt intake --- no more than 2,300 mg daily --- to fight fluid retention.

• 4

  Massage your thighs. Using a bristle skin brush in a circular motion, massage your thighs daily to increase blood circulation and remove toxins that may promote cellulite.
