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 people wonder which exercises are best for losing weight quickly and easily. Cardio exercises, which involve elevating your heart rate, are among the most effective for helping you lose weight. Since there are several different cardio exercises you can choose from, you should find the one - or more than one - that you know you can stick with for best results. When you combine regular mild-to-moderate cardio exercise with a healthy low-carb diet, then you can lose weight. Cardio workouts contribute to weight loss by burning calories and fat, as well as building muscle. Whichever exercise you choose to help you lose weight, maintain it at a level so you aren’t feeling overly hungry afterwards.
