16/f im 130 lbs. & 5'7-8". now i know im not fat, & im not saying i am. but within the past month or so, my upper thighs have begun touching when i stand straight up. (they didnt use to) and i was looking at my ass & upper thighs in the mirror one day, n my thighs are all cellulite-y. how gross, with swimsuit season coming up. anyways, i was wondering if their were any exercises that WORK for upper thighs & your butt. i already eat right, so thats taken care of. but id really like to know if their are some exercises (besides running) for that. and also, are there any ways to make cellulite go away? or dissappear? id appreciate not getting a speech on how im still growing, & i shouldnt be trying to lose weight..etc. im doing this to make myself happy, not to be stick-thin :p any answers are appriciated! thanks (link)

Walking Lunge
Stand with your feet together. Keep your chest out and your midsection firm, do not arch your back. Place your hands on your hips or by your sides. Step forward with a large step. Bend both your knees. Your front shin should remain in a straight line with your ankle. Your back knee should be nearly touching the floor. As you are pushing up, and at the top of your lunge movement, lunge forward with the other leg repeating the same movement. Continue with this sequence, alternating from one leg to the other until you have finished the required amount of reps.
Plie Squat
Stand with your legs wide apart - (wider than shoulder width apart). Have your toes pointed outwards. Keep your chest out, your midsection firm and head facing frontwards. Hold a dumbbell at arms length in front of you (dumbbell should be in front of your pelvis, if you don't have a dumbbell, you can use a water or canned foods) the other end of the dumbbell should be facing the floor. Ensure
your back is straight and don't lean too far forward. (Keep the weights light to start with) Now bending your knees squat leaning into your heels then push yourself back up again squeezing your butt and inner thighs. Make sure you don't lift your toes up off the floor.
You can also do wall-sits or climb stairs. fitnessmagazine.com has lots of workout videos too.
Good luck!
