When following a proper diet and including moderate exercise in our lives, many of us are still able to successfully lose weight as we get older. However, we may notice that we aren’t losing fat as easily as we did when we were younger. One unfortunate fact about aging is that we start losing muscle. As our muscle layers become weaker and less firm, the fat underneath starts taking on a crinkled, lumpy appearance. This is what we know as cellulite, which is simply fat. Fortunately, we can lose weight and that pesky cellulite with strength training. The five exercises below are designed for strengthening muscles and blasting fat in your lower body.

Many workout routines include squats, and for a good reason. When done right, squats are great for toning your lower body muscles and helping you get in shape while you are losing weight. Squats especially target your backside, and they are among the best exercises for firming up that area of your body. However, many people make some very common mistakes when doing squats and don't even realize it.
