Bottom fat is perhaps the most difficult area of the body to lose fat and turn that fat into toned muscle, but we have the tips that can help you get on the right track.

First let’s clear the myth that there are special exercises that allow you to lose weight in one area versus another, this is not true. In order to fix one problem area of your body you have to engage in a full body workout and the fat will melt away evenly. A full body workout includes a 20minute cardio routine to start, followed by a weight or strength training routine to help you burn fat at a quicker rate and see new firm muscles throughout your body.

Your full body workout should always include specified exercises that target your chosen problem area, in this case your butt. There are dozens of different bottom exercises that can help you lose bottom fat which means you will never get bored of your fitness regime as there are always new exercises to mix things up.

Choose 3-4 of the following bottom targeted exercises to get you started and feel free to change them every week or so for something different.
 
Dead Lift:  you begin this exercise by standing with your feet apart and your toes facing outward. With your hands clasped together in front of you, bend at your knees from your hips and keep your spine completely straight. It is helpful to do this exercise in front of a mirror to make sure you are utilizing your posture.
 
Kneeling Kickback: start on all fours and raise one leg as high as you can and then lower it. Do these while alternating legs with reps of 12-15 or as many as you can do within a set.
 
Stair climbing machines: Ideal for your butt and can be taken advantage of at any gym. This type of continuous workout is great for burning bottom fat.
 
Squats: stand straight against the wall and bend at the knees until your knees are at a 90degree angle. Repeat this in 10-12 reps and 1-2 sets.
 
Stability ball: Lie with the ball on your stomach, facing down and bend your legs at the knees so you can lift them into the air, therefore lifting your butt off the ball. A set of 10 is generally enough to get started as this is a difficult exercise.

Learning how to lose bottom fat is something everyone is interested in and by including these exercises in your fitness routine you have a good chance of success.
