Get Intense and Lay Low
High intensity cardio intervals are great for blasting calories and fat, says Barnet. Plus, they help increase your overall metabolism. Look out for high intensity or total body workout classes, such as spinning, kick-boxing, or dance-based cardio, or try out an interval workout on the treadmill.

In addition to your short bursts of high-intensity workouts, it's also a good idea to incorporate low-level activities such as walking, riding your bike through the park, light swimming, or even restorative yoga as much as you can during the week. Low-level activities help burn calories slowly all day, specifically drawing on fat sources, says Barnet.

Roll it out
Try out a foam roller, which is a thick piece of hard foam that massages sore areas and breaks up interwoven fat fibers. A foam roller can loosen up any common areas of tightness, and also functions like a deep tissue massage. At home or at the gym, try slowly rolling various parts of your body over the foam, almost like using a rolling pin to roll out dough. Romney explains, "the rolling increases the flow of nutrient-rich blood to these areas, stretches connective tissues, and improves circulation. This enables the body to expel abnormal fluid retention and toxins." Increasing circulation through massage can help shift the appearance of cellulite and reduce the dimpling effect.
