Cardiovascular exercises

- Treadmill running
- Stepping stairs
- Jumping Jacks
You can also include skipping rope, moving your arm completely and jumping intensely. Start with a hundred skips. This is a good exercise to tone up your arms and get your heart going.
Resistance Training
To do this, get a resistance band, 5 feet in length. Sit down on the floor with your legs extended. Wrap the band around the feet, hold the other end of the band in your hand and bending your knees, pull your bods backwards. This exercise involves the ab muscles and as you extend your arms in front of you at eye level, while moving the body back, your belly fat gets burnt.
Apart from these workout routines for women, strength training should also be included. Despite common perception, lifting weights do not lead to formation of heavy muscles. In fact, they will help build lean muscle mass.
