Cellulite is every woman's worst nightmare. Contrary to popular belief, cellulite does not discriminate. It's an equal opportunity fat that appears on active women as well as sedentary women. Strands of fibrous tissues connect the skin to deeper tissue and separate compartments that contain fat cells. When fat cells increase, the compartments bulge, creating that cottage cheese look. There is no miracle cure or cream that will rid your thighs of cellulite. The best solution is eating right and exercising. Focus on resistance training to build stronger muscles underneath the fat — this will help smooth out the area.

Some medical research contends that estrogen or poor blood and lymph circulation contributes to cellulite, but other medical studies have concluded that it's just excess fat.
