How to Easily Lose Weight In Your Backside

Many women complain about having extra "junk" in their trunk. This saying refers to the collection of excess fat in the gluteus maximus -- more commonly referred to as the butt, booty or backside. Some women have a hard time losing weight in their backside despite being successful with overall weight loss. If you're one of those women, employ some simple health-and-fitness tips to tone, firm and shape-up your derriere.

      Do squats. This is among the best exercises you can do for the backside. Start by planting your feet firmly and position your legs shoulder-length apart. Bend your knees and move yourself into a "seated" position. Lift yourself back up and repeat. This move will strengthen your legs and backside, helping you to tone up your rear. You can do this exercise with or without weights in your hands.

      Try jumping squats. Jumping squats are exactly the same as regular squats only you will jump up instead of standing directly up after being in a bended, seated position. Jumping squats will tone and shape your legs and bottom. This is also known as plyometrics.

      Do lunges. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, letting them hang by your sides. Step forward with one leg while dropping your body down. Return to the original position, and repeat the exercise with your other leg.
