Exercise to reduce or eliminate cellulite? Can I "work off" cellulite with exercise?

Cellulite is a condition that causes a golf ball type dimpling of the skin. It is primarily a condition that occurs at the interface of the fat wtih the skin. One of the theories of cellulite has to do with the fibrous structure of fat. The fat cells are contained within a honey comb network of connective tissue. In women this connective tissue tens to be thin but in men it is thicker and more fibrous. This is why we almost never see cellulite in men. There are not any know topically applied therapies that will 100% be able to correct cellulite but they can at times improve its appearance.
