Exercise to lose weight!?

What are some good exercises for a persons butt, hips, and thighs? What are some good exercises for the arms, stomach, and shoulders?
How do you make sure that your skin tightens when you loss weight?

Please be nice, answer fully, and give descriptions if possible.
Yes, I am female. It is not some much losing weight but being more healthy, as my weight is at an unhealthy level. I would just like to know of some easy to learn/do exercises to do for the hips, but, and thighs so that i can start to lose fat in those areas.

Im more worried about losing the weight, and my skin hanging off my body, then I am about the acutal losing weight.
Also, I have started to eat less and eat healthier foods.

Given the mentioned ‘problem areas’ I’ll take it you are female?

Firstly, exercise is a good way to keep yourself fit and healthy, but it’s a really inferior method to lose weight, on its own.

You see, we lose weight when we are in a negative energy balance, meaning we expend more energy than we take in by food and drink. The effect of exercise on energy balance is marginal at best, unless you are a world class professional athlete who vigorously trains multiple times each day.

While I recommend physical exercise regardless of your priorities, If your prime goal is to lose weight, eating less will be your best bet for achieving that.

The female fat storage pattern is notorious for being focused on exactly the hips, thighs and butt, which means every time you ingest more energy via food than you expend through your daily activities, your body will first store the excess in those areas of your body – in the form of subcutaneous fat.

I’ll point you in the direction of a site that will get you started with your fat loss effort:
