Is there any real way to get rid of cellulite?

I’m a young, healthy woman who eats well and works out regularly. I’m in good shape and recently ran a 12kilometer race. And yet, my thighs and butt – lots of cellulite. The fat is getting more, um, dimpled as I get older, even though I’m working out more often, and I’m starting to get self conscious about it even though I generally feel good about my body. My mom is the same way, but I always assumed that was because she never goes to the gym. I recently lost some weight but even though my thighs got smaller they are still…well…bumpy. Is this just genetic? Are there specific excercises that would get rid of it?
