Your personality has a major influence on your approach to fitness, says Chrissie Gallagher-Mundy, who runs the London Academy of Personal Trainers. ‘There are four main emotional types and they all suit different workouts,’ she says.
THE ULTIMATE CELLULITE BUSTER!
Although we’d all love to find a miracle cream, there’s one thing that’s proven to work – yup, exercise. ‘I’ve got rid of cellulite in 45-year-old women in just 12 weeks,’ says trainer Mark Anthony. ‘High-intensity resistance work (like a weights circuit) is the best way to break up fat cells very quickly.’ To kill the orange peel, do three or four resistance workouts a week, or run or cycle for 30 minutes. Then, after each session, target your high-level cellulite areas with two sets of 20 of each of these bottom-smoothing exercises – that’s 40 minutes in total:
• Lateral Squat: From standing, move your right leg out to the side, squat, raise and return to start.
• Travelling 70-Degree Lunge: From standing, step forward into a lunge, making sure your hip, knees and toes are in line. Then lean your body forward 70 degrees and bend at the knee. (The change in body angle makes your bottom work harder than it does in a normal squat.) Unlike creams, these exercises are free – and at the end of the month, you’re guaranteed results.
