Let's Talk: Backside

Though we can't see it, it is always on our minds. Our backside.

Support your butt! Celulite is caused mainly by lack of blood flow. Therefore you can de-dimple your derrier faster than you think. A variety of squats and plyometrics would do it fast and efficiently.

For a great butt, check out Shapes' article for The Ultimate Butt.
