Is there a fat loss exercise that is better than all the rest?

A single exercise that you can perform... that is a proven "fat burner".

Something that is easy and requires no fancy equipment.

The answer is yes.

It is called "squatting".

Squats are especially suited for those who wish to shave pounds and inches of fat off their butt, thighs and upper leg region.

As you may very well have heard... squats are perhaps the single greatest leg toning exercise around.

But what you may not know is that this fat loss exercise is a complete, total body workout in and of itself.

When you squat you not only target your butt, hamstrings (back of upper legs) and quads (front of upper legs)... But you also involve your back and abdominal muscles. These muscles are required to stabilize the weight bar.

Surprisingly enough...

I've found squatting to be far superior to the typical crunches, situps and other abdominal exercises when it comes to getting a flat stomach.

Other muscles that are worked when you perform squats are the biceps and triceps. Once again, they are used to stabilize the weight bar.

If you are looking for a simple fat loss exercise... squatting could be your gem!

So how do you do it.

First and foremost... I recommend that you perform weighted squats.

The reason is because you want to "push" yourself. You want to make your body exert more energy so you can burn more fat.

This means that you at least should use a forty five pound standard weight bar. 99% of local gyms have them.

It is important to note that the weight does not have to be too heavy. Just choose a weight in which you can perform twelve to fifteen reps. A higher amount of reps like this, is not only ideal for toning, but also burning fat and developing lean muscle.

If you are unable to lift the forty five pound bar, just do weightless squats without the bar... gradually working your way up to the bar and beyond.

As I'm sure is on your mind (especially for my female readers), is the concern about getting too "bulky".

Many people view lifting weight as synonymous with getting bulky. They have this picture of some over-developed body builder in their minds.

I assure you, this is a myth.

Performing this fat loss exercise in the twelve to fifteen repetition range will actually help to lean your legs and other body parts down. I have found it to do the exact opposite of "bulk you up".

Here's what your routine will look like...

I recommend performing four sets for fifteen repetitions each. Do this three days per week.

That means that you will actually put the forty five pound bar (or whatever weight you choose) on your back and squat down fifteen times. That will be one set. Repeat that three additional times. Four times total, each of the three days.

Remember this one key... form is far more important than weight.

That simply means, you will see far better results if you perform squats using a light weight with impeccable form (shoulders back, back straight, squatting down to parallel), then using a heavy weight with bad form.

If you are new to this fat loss exercise, or just have not done it in a while... you will tell just how much it has worked over the next couple of days.

You're muscles will be soar!

This is good though. It is to be expected when starting out.
