Squats are awesome for toning. For this workout you only
need a low surface such as a chair or a slightly raised surface, such as step. Squats can be done with weights to do even more toning for your glutes and thighs. With squats your back is turned towards the chair with your legs slightly apart. If you are using weights your arms or not your arms are at your side in the starting position. Then you bend your knees keeping your back and core straight and pushing your buttocks back towards the chair, slightly tapping the chair with your buttocks. If you do not have weights, place your arms in front of you when bending. With weights, keep your hands at your side. Then raise back up to the starting position. I tend to do this in sets of 25 squats three times in one workout.

So these are only a few of many exercises that I incorporate in my workout. These exercises are simple enough to get started in exercising once again if it has been a while since you have exercised or if you just want to tone up your body or if you just want to live a healthier lifestyle.
Here is also a good website to help with exercising:
