My personal trainer always tells me that squats are the best thing for your legs and butt.

Walking! If you can keep a good pace for 1/2 hour a day, you'll lose weight and tone your muscles. If you want something just for your stomach, do like leg-lifts or sit-ups.

You dont tone saddle bags gurl - you lose em. That's my goal right now. I have a really fit upper body and my body tends to store fat in the lower half of my body. The thing is the first place you body stores fat easiest is going to be the last place ya lose it. You cant zone fat loss - i wish it was possible - you lose fat from all over. \n\nMake sure you do at least 30 minutes of cardio a day and try doing some weight training for your legs. If you have access to machines - try leg presses, extensions, curls, abductor and adductor machines. There are different pilaties moves you can doo ass well. \n\nTake a look at these pages \nhttp://www.ediets.com/news/article.cfm?cmi=1949377&cid=5\n\nhttp://www.efitness.com/news/article.cfm?article_id=18084&cid=3

To get a nice butt, try doing the stair machine. It tightens and tones the rear end. Also, go on a treadmill and walk on an incline of 5 or 6 and keep increasing it untill you get good results.

Good for you for looking for simple bodyweight exercises - they're the  best ones for you from top to bottom.  \n\nI'd do flutter kicks.  Lay on your back and lift your feet up to 6-8" above the ground.  Then start kicking your legs up and down, keeping them straight, but never letting them touch the ground.  Do as many as you can.  This will work the lower abs and also your hip flexor muscles.  \n\nYou can also do Hello Dollys - they start similarly to flutter kicks but instead of kicking them up and down, you move your legs out to the side and back to center, always keeping them 6-8" off the ground.  Again, do as many as ou can.  \n\nMix the two together for best results. \n\nSince you're interested in bodyweight workouts, I've included a link to the best bodyweight exercise system I've ever seen.

I suggest that you head out to your local gym and do some exercises on the leg machines that they have there. Light weight with more reps will definetely tone your legs and get your legs in shape. And remember to eat good amounts of protein in meat and stay healthy!

the first thing you want to do is check with your doctor to find out how much you can do. once you get older if you are out of shape or if you have certain health conditions they can put you at risk when exercising. once given the go-ahead i recommend having a personal trainer at a gym 2 or 3 times to get a few workouts. eating vitamins and doing cardiovascular exercises always work very well for getting the body toned. running, swimming, biking, and using exercise machines such as an elipitical are very good methods of cardiovascular exercise. if you also want bigger muscles than you want to start slow and build it up (again, a personal trainer is always good because they can show you how to lift and life in a safe manner). books with lifting exercises work well too. You would probably want to start with push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups and chin-ups, and cardiovascular. After a while you could increase the intensity and amount of exercise you do.

Body weight squats and lunges don't require any equipment and will do an excellent job of toning with 20-30 reps per set.  You'll need a suitable cardio program and good diet to help you achieve the toned look as well.  Tae Bo is also great if you have access to the program.\n\nHere's a complete list, but many can be performed without any fancy machinery.\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/fitness/Strength_Exercises_legs.html

The following exercises will help tone that area, but you have to add cardio depending on your body type at least 30 minutes every other day.  Try kickbacks, get on all four, draw abs in, bend knee with thigh parallel to floor and extend foot to ceiling, contract and release (do 3 sets of 10).  Next do deep squats keeping back straight, making sure knees doesn't extend past toes, when coming to standing position tighten buttocks and repeat for 3 sets of 10.  Last, lay on back, bend knees with feet on floor, arms extend at sides, and slowly roll hips up off floor keeping shoulders on floor contract buttocks and slow return to start (2 sets of 10).  You will feel it and it works.

There are two questions here- a toning and a weight loss question.  Unfortunately, there isn't any way to target weight loss in any one area of the body... and the best way to lose weight is by eating healthy and doing regular cardiovascular exercise.  \n\nAs for toning- there are a few really good ways.  The first is riding a bicycle... serious bicyclists have buns of steel.  The other is climbing stairs... lots and lots of stairs.  Both will give you a really good gluteal workout and will make you solid!

First off, go outside. Go for walks. If you don't like running, go for bike ridees they work wonders. Do ab work outs. Crunches...sit ups..cruches but bringing right elbow to left knee. You will want to do high reps with little weight, unless you are planning on building musscle mass.

Bench pressing is an ego thing. To get "toned" just lift. Push day one... Pull day two... repeat do 15 to 20 reps and 5 to 6 sets  and "don't sweat the weights"

have you tried pilates? it really helps. also try going for high intensity walks or runs. \nand these exercises help me a lot:(sry if you can't understand it)\n1:lay on your side with your right leg sstraight on the ground and your left leg bent in front of your right leg. then lift your right leg as far up as possible, and lower it. start at 2 reps of 10.then gradually increase. and switch sides.\n2: lay on your back with your legs straight up in the air, so that you're in an "L" shape. slowly lower your legs, until they're as far apart as possible, and then pulse them 3 times. then slowly raise them up so that they are together again. do 3 reps of ten. \n\nthese exercises really help. make sure you do them every other day, so that your muscles have time to tone.\ngood luck :)
