We’ve all been there…
Trying to lose some weight before the summer, before a big event, (wedding, prom, birthday etc.) or just because we feel like we deserve it.
However, weight loss is not complex. When you actually dig into it, you will see that everything is a matter of habits. Aside from the healthy eating choices, most of the habits are linked to the right exercises.

Practically, you are getting an all-in-one solution and a combination of the best easy beginner workouts for women that target the entire body, strengthen you up, and help you shed some pounds.
Let’s start listing the exercises.
1.Single-Leg Deadlift
This exercise lifts and tones the glutes in the legs while activating the entire core. It can also help prevent back pain. All you need is to stand on your left foot and lift the right foot behind you while bending your knee (so that your right lower leg is parallel to the floor). Switch legs and repeat.
2.Side Plank
Planks are perfect for the abdominal area and one of the best exercises for women who are starting out. For many fit women, they are the secret weapon to a supercharged core and a slim waistline. To do them, lie on your left side with your knees straight, prop your upper body on your left elbow and forearm and raise your hips until your body forms a straight line from the ankles to your shoulders. Hold for 30 seconds and change on the other side.
3.Female Pushups
Push-ups may be difficult if you are new to exercise. However, there is a form of push-ups that is designed for beginners. Instead of placing your hands and feet on the floor, place your hands and knees (close together) on the floor and lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor. Then, push yourself back to the starting position.
4.Second Position Plies
This is a ballet move which you have probably seen in many fitness tutorials – and an effective exercise that tones the gluteus minimus which is the side to butt area. If you want to get lean legs like a dancer, it is a great exercise to begin with. All you need to do is stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart and your toes turned in opposite directions. Lower your body down and bend your knees until your thighs are parallel with the floor. Pause, then slowly push yourself back to the starting position.
5.Cardio Intervals
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) can blend into your routine in a perfect way – especially if you want to slim down, shed some pounds and burn more calories in a shorter amount of time. Whether it’s a jumping rope, a treadmill, a bike, or a jogging session in your neighborhood, start with 5-10 minutes of cardio activity combined with rests.
6.Step Ups
The best thing about this beginner exercise is the fact that it can be done anywhere and with any item. Whether it’s a bench, a box, or another stable object that is at your knee height, the exercise targets the muscles of your glutes and hamstrings, allowing you to create leaner and stronger legs and a tighter rear.
7.Bridge
Bridges are the perfect exercise for a rounded rear – but also great for keeping your back healthy and pain-free. All you need to do is lie face-up on the floor with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Raise your hips so that your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees. Pause while you are up and lower your body back to the starting position.
8.Shoulder Stand
This exercise may look difficult to perform, but it is actually very easy. The trick is in the elbows which need to act as your support as you raise your legs and torso up in the air. As part of yoga, this exercise can reduce the appearance of cellulite – some women even practice it for 5 minutes every night before going to bed.
All you need to do is lie down on your back, lift your legs and hips off the ground, bring your legs up over your head and place your hands behind your back, extending the legs straight in the air.
9.Burpees
The burpee is a full-body strength training exercise that can be performed by anyone – whether you are the fittest on earth or just starting out. For beginners, it is best if you limit yourself to how many burpees you can do with pause intervals.
To do a burpee, you need to stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Then, push your hips back, bend your knees and lower your body into a squat. Place your hands on the floor directly in front of you and go back to your starting position. Up – down – up – down – and calories are burned.
10. Lunges
Last but not the least is another great anti-cellulite exercise for women starting out. To do the lunges right, you need to stand with feet hip-width apart, engage your core, and take a big step backward. Engage your glutes as you bend one knee to lower your body so that your other knee lightly taps the floor while keeping your upper body upright. Push yourself back up, switch legs, and repeat.
Final Words
All of these exercises are designed to target your tricky trouble zones that take a little extra work to tighten and tone. From your legs to your rear, arms and glutes, the goal of doing these exercises is to repeat and establish a routine.
As soon as you do that, you will find it easier and easier to do each of them, which is when you might consider the use of dumbbells or extra weights.
And the end result?
Melted fat, a healthy lifestyle, and a body that makes you feel confident!
