    Squats and lunges all the way! Make sure to add weights too :)
  • all of the above! and love your butt, some women wish they had half of one! :) BTW, I'm a big butt girl too and I love it, it looks awesome in jeans, bathing suits, tight fitting dresses, etc. Think of the alternative, flat!!! OH no

    Oh if target exercises were only so easy! If they were, we'd all be walking around with flat, six pack abs and tiny firm buns!

    You hit the nail on the head when you said it's a combo of good eating habits AND exercise. You gotta have both to be successful with weight loss and toning those trouble areas. Cardio mixed with weight training exercises will help you the most but you cannot ignore your nutrition and expect to make significant strides.

    Be sure to incorporate each piece into your plan!

    My advice above holds true for baby belly too! The only way I was able to trim/tone my abs was through DIET. Have you ever heard of the saying that "Your abs are made in the kitchen"? It's really all about eating clean so that your body uses all that stored up fat as its energy source. Makes your workouts more effective!
