Most females would love to be a bit slimmer and a tad more toned so that they can feel confident in their bodies and their appearance. Unfortunately, there is no tablet or diet drink that is going to miraculously shift the weight for you, the only way to see real results is to do some fat loss exercises.

Most women tend to accumulate fat around their thighs, bottom and hip areas. It can tough to shift, but there are several fat loss exercises that work very well. Squats, lunges and plies are the best exercises to do to lose fat and tone up your body. You should be careful to do the exercises properly so as to avoid injury to your knees.

A simple squat is done by standing with your legs about shoulder width apart. In a carefully controlled motion bend down as far as you can sticking your bottom out and then return to your original position. This should be done slowly using your muscle strength for 3 sets of 10 squats to begin and then increase.

A fit ball is a great and inexpensive piece of exercise equipment that you can use at home. You can use a fit ball to do squat against the wall. Place the ball between your back and the wall. Gently roll down into the squatting position and then return to your standing position. If you have weak knees, this type of squat is a good way to start.

One of the fat loss exercises that really targets the butt is doing lunges. You do a basic lunge by starting with your toes together. Lunge forwards with your right foot until your right shin has made a 90 degree angle with your right thigh. Then step back and put your feet together. Repeat on the other foot. You should start by trying to do two sets of 10 lunges on each leg. This can place some pressure on your knee joints, so it is important that you really use your muscles to control the movement.

Another great exercise for the fit ball is to lie on your back and put your feet up onto the fit ball. Using your arms to steady you, elevate your back to an angle and bring the fit ball into your bottom, then extend your legs out again. This exercise is ideal for toning the calves, thighs, bottom and abdominal muscles. Start with 2 sets of ten, while continuing to breathe deeply and slowly try to increase to six sets.

Plies are one of the reasons that ballerinas have such well toned legs and bottoms. A plie is done by placing your heels together and pointing the toes outwards. Pull up your stomach and pull back your shoulders. You should tense your glutes at the same time as pulling your belly button into your spine. When you have the starting posture you bend your knees as far as you can without your heels leaving the ground. Your knees should remain over your toes, not fall forwards. Then return to the starting position. Do 6 sets of 10 everyday.
