Perfect Body Workout for Women

It's important to stretch your muscles out before doing a full-body workout.

Working out is a great stress reliever. It releases feel-good endorphins and positively enhances your overall physical appearance. There are certain areas of the body that women should target more than others for a full-body workout.

Butt

Back leg lifts are an easy way to tone the backside. Do 25 leg lifts by lifting each leg backward off the ground. Push hands against the wall or a flat surface while doing the lifts to keep balanced.

Thighs

Full-body squats are helpful in toning up the thighs. Do 25 full-body squats to tone hips, butt and thighs. Keep arms raised straight up in the air while doing squats for added balance.

Stomach

Push-ups are beneficial for strengthening the core stomach muscles. Start with 15 push-ups with hands flat on the ground and arms at a 90-degree angle. Keep back and legs straight.

Arms

Lift weights to tone the upper body, including shoulders and the back.

Do arm curls using 3-lb. to 5-lb. weights. Do two reps of 10 curls to tighten and tone arms. You can use full water bottles in lieu of the weights.
