I am not saying that you have cellulite, but I know that I had cellulite with extra fat stored on my outer thighs and one thing that is known to get more circulation in that area (or an area of the body) is used coffee grounds. I believe that this is because of the caffine. So, there are several things that I've heard people do.
One of them is for the back of the thighs/buttocks is to put plastic wrap on the the side of the bathtub, take used coffee grounds and put them on the plastic wrap, sit butt on the plastic wrap & used coffee grounds. (or I imagine you could do the same thing sitting inside an empty bathtub). When you are finished (like 10 minutes or so), get up, wrap the coffee grounds in the plastic wrap (put aside to throw away). Take a shower or quick bath washing coffee ground area with a loofa or bath brush or mitt to further stimulate circulation. This step is optional, but you can give that area, now stimulated with circulation a hard tissue massage which to my understanding over time can break up the layers of cellulite skin.
So the two free things are used coffee grounds and med/hard tissue massage.
Side note: Because used coffee grounds can also be considered an 'exfoliant' some people (I swear this is true) get into the bathtub, scrub their entire body with used coffee grounds (I imagine if you could grind your own coffee to be very little chunkages (or very thin) wait a few minutes, massage with a loofah and take a shower. Now I would imagine that courser coffee grounds might clog a drain, I don't know, which is why I did the 'spot area' only area with the plastic wrap.[/QUOTE]
Stored fat, can be helped by these methods. Not a whole lot (or miracle 'super body') but along with your squats they might give you that little more that you desire.
