Cellulite forms when fat gets caught in the connective tissues near the surface of the skin. The fat appears just underneath the skin and gives skin a bumpy look.

It's possible to get rid of cellulite though it can be difficult. You can create your own cellulite reduction program, and if you stick with it week after week, you should see improvement.

It can be hard to stay with a program, but it is a good idea to have one because it sets out a clear and organized plan of action. Having a program is much more effective than trying tips here and there. Here are four things to implement in a cellulite reduction program.

1. Regular exercise, especially cardiovascular. Cardiovascular exercise fights cellulite by increasing circulation and reducing fat. This kind of exercise really works your heart and will also benefit your overall health. A couple times a week, do two ten-minute sets of cardio. Increase the number of days as you get stronger. Use your breathing to monitor the intensity of your workout. You want to be able to talk in regular conversation but not to sing.

2. Find one thing in your diet that you will cut out or substitute with a lower or no calorie substitution. Here are some examples: diet soda or water for regular soda, non-caloric butter spray for butter or margarine, mustard mixed with nonfat mayo instead of full fat mayo, carrot sticks instead of potato chips. Once you're comfortable with your diet swap, you can add in another.

3. Look into non-invasive cellulite reduction treatments. Depending on what's available to you and what you can afford, you may want to consider a cellulite cream, massage, Endermologie, or Velasmooth. Velasmooth is a promising new procedure and is the first FDA-approved cellulite reduction treatment. Do some research to see which of these options could be right for you.

4. Visualize your success. Picture your cellulite-free body the way you'd like it to be. Relax and close your eyes, and slow down your breathing. See your body smooth and toned. Or if that's not your style, visualize the steps of your cellulite reduction program and really see yourself following through on the exercise and diet. This will help you stay disciplined.

Follow these four very doable tips on a consistent basis and you can reduce your cellulite in a shorter amount of time.
