Are looking for the best workout routines for women, but finding it hard because of the conflicting ideas and training information out there? Still unsure who is right? Well, in a way they are both right.

I have also found that a lot of good workouts and training tips online are directly targeted to men. Training for men is different because it deals more with muscle definition and in some cases, bulk. For us women, we are more concerned with losing fat and toning our muscles. That is the target of this article. I will give you fat loss training and muscle toning tips.

3 of the Best Workout Routines for Women

Now there are a couple of places on our bodies that need more targeting than others. Like the areas around our belly, our buttock, our thighs and our lower thighs.

Workout Routine #1: The Hip Raise [Difficulty: Easy]

Target Area: Belly and Buttocks

• Lay on your back on the floor

• With your feet firmly on the ground, bring your knees up and keep them bent

• Now tighten your stomach and butt

• Now raise your hips so that it will look like a straight line from your shoulders to your knees

• Hold that position for around 5 seconds while still keeping your belly and butt squeezed

• Lower yourself down and repeat

Workout Routine #2: The Squat [Difficulty: Intermediate]

This is a workout that if done right, could give amazing results. But, if you do it wrong, you run the risk of injuring yourself. This workout targets your buttocks (glutes), thighs, legs and even your back.

• With light weights on your shoulders, bend your knees slowly till your quadriceps are almost parallel to the floor

• Make sure your upper torso s as upright as possible. If you feel any strain in your back at all, you are not doing it right

• Slowly push yourself back up to a standing position

• Also, do remember to keep your feet planted on the floor throughout the whole process

Workout Routine #3: Dumbbell Lunges [Difficulty: Intermediate]

Here are a relatively easy exercise to perform. It is lunges with a twist.

• With a dumbbell on your held just next to your shoulder, step forward with your right leg

• Your right knee should be at around 90 degrees and your left knee should almost be touching the floor

• Return to your original starting position and repeat

• After doing it six to ten times, switch to your left side

These are just a few workout routines for women that you can try. There are so much more that you can do to get rid of that stubborn fat and keep healthy and fit.
