Best exercise for losing inches?

Options
So the pounds are coming off just fine, but before I get all excited and go clothes shopping, I wanna tighten up the body! anyhow,

Can you guys name some of your favorite exercises that you have had success with inches lost? I mean obviously if I keep losing fat, inches will come off too, but to really tighten and tone my body, what are some killer exercises?

    squats and lunges are excellent for toning butt/thighs and ab work such as plank, bicycles, crunches, clam crunches work great for trimming those areas of the abdominals that are hard to get looking good and tight

    There is a workout with a balance ball. You put your feet up on it-do a push up, When you get back up to plank you pull your knees into your chest keeping your feet on the ball then roll it back out and repeat-this gets all the muscles in your body.

    Just doing strength training is going to help you, but you need to get to muscle fatigue when you do it. Strength training builds muscle and keeps you burning calories when sitting around.
