Can exercise get rid of cellulite?
According to Lyle Barreiro, a biokineticist at Sports Science Institute of South Africa, cellulite will not go away completely with exercise. ‘The problem is that the connective tissue in women is particularly rigid and cellulite occurs when adipose (fat) tissue below the fibres extends through the connective tissue and creates a misalignment in these fibres. This causes the dimple effect under the skin. Exercise has the ability to realign the fibres of the connective tissue as well as decrease the amount of adipose tissue pushing through, thereby giving the skin a smoother appearance. But no amount of exercise will make it go away.
