Cellulite is not related to weight and levels of physical conditioning. Patients who have a sedentary lifestyle may be more likely to suffer from cellulite if there are other contributing factors, such as genetics and hormonal fluctuations. In many cases, cellulite runs in families, and there is very little that can be done to cellulite from occurring in these cases.
