- Weight lifters perform squats with a barbell slung across their shoulders for added resistance. You don't need a barbell to perform this exercise to see noticeable results within two weeks. Stand with your feet slightly more than shoulder width apart. Place your hands on your waist or hold onto a wall or chair for stability. Bend at the knee to a squat position, aiming for the thighs to be parallel to the floor as your legs become stronger. Don't extend the knees past the front of the foot.
- Lunges work the backs and fronts of the thigh, targeting these hard-to-tone areas for quick results. Stand with straight posture and take a natural-sized step forward with the right leg. Plant the front foot firmly on the ground. Bend both knees, lifting the back foot onto the toes as you bend the knees. Try to aim for a 90-degree bend in both knees. Return to starting position, keeping the back leg straight and proceed into another lunge. You can hold onto a chair for stability. Repeat with both legs.
- Stand in front of an aerobic step bench or the bottom stair. Focus on tucking your tummy in and maintaining a straight spine. Lift one foot, step onto the step, bring the other foot up and return to start. Perform this exercise for at least 5 to 10 minutes. Lift with the legs and buttocks to see best results.
- Get onto the floor on your hands and knees. Don't arch your back, and align your head with your spine. Lift your right leg back to a position parallel with the floor as if you were kicking backwards. Repeat 10 times on each leg, increasing to three to four sets per workout.
- Add walking or running to your daily activities to burn cellulite quickly. These exercises target the muscles of the legs almost exclusively. Cycling or stationary bike riding burns up to 40 calories per mile to help you see results quickly. Incorporate aerobic activity into your exercise regimen every other day to burn fat and increase muscle tone.
