Anne's comment: Cellulite is caused by fatty tissues in a place with low circulation, so the best ways to reduce the sight of this are just as you had guessed: diet and exercise. It is also suggested that you can try to message the area to promote circulation.

Anne's comment: A simple alteration to a crunch or sit-up will do the trick, so start with your back flat on the ground and remember to hold your tummy tight now rest your knees on the left side of your body and begin to pull your upper torso up towards the ceiling. It will be somewhat difficult for your body not to lean closer to your knees however, continue to bring yourself up facing where your knees would have been had you been doing a normal crunch. Remember to do at least 10-15 reps on the left then switch over to the right.

Anne's comment: I think any girl struggles with fatty thighs, even I do but my two favorite ways to tackle that trouble spot is a wall-sit and squats which does wonders to your entire lower body especially your thighs.

Squats, begin in a standing position with your feet shoulder width apart now bend down as if you were to sit on a chair (but clearly that would defeat the purpose if there was a chair), hold and raise yourself up to begin again. Remember to repeat this 10-15 times, also if you would like to add a bit of intensity you can always add some weight (IE. dumbbells, can of soup? an orange?)

Wall-sits are very similar, begin in the same position but with your back facing a wall now as you bend down your going to put your back against the wall and hold your knees at a 90 degree angle as if you were sitting on a chair, instead of coming up and repeating the move this one you hold for 30 seconds - 5 minutes depending on the intensity you would like.
