    Exercises don't cause weight gain. Calorie intake will.

    Define clearly what a "nice butt" means to you. There are many different thoughts on what that is.

    I see. This program might help someone get more active and might be enjoyable for some. I would state that it isn't going to give noticeable results for building glutes or legs it's extremely limiting as far as growth goes.

    If you have a gym available that has a leg press and a barbell for deadlifts you would see more optimal results using a full range of motion and would also gain noticable strength. Is that a option for you?

    Then I'd recommend using the one-legged hip thrust Jeff demonstrates as a significant portion of your glute routine. If you don't have a bench then a chair will do. Heck, you can even do them with your shoulders on the floor instead of elevated. As you progress you can add something around the house as weight the way Jeff does with the weight plate. A book, a stack of magazines, etc.

    And body-weight squats are a great exercise to do at home and they definitely include utilizing the glutes, but will also help strengthen other lower-body muscles and your back. You can also hold something to add weight while you do them or just do a lot of them.

    I see and I hope things get better soon financially. Keep in mind when things do become better most gyms with full equipment run about $5 a week or $20 a month if you are in US.

    You might try stiff legged deadlifts and RDLs with gallon milk containers or 5gallon buckets filled up to a appropriate weight of dirt/rock/water. You can add more as you progress. Goblet squats to parallel depth with weight would be an option too.

    You can add tempos or paused variations with lighter weight for a second day during the week.
