Squats and lunges are great for tightening! As you get stronger add weights. Good luck!!

Yoga. My bum hasn't been this toned since....well, EVER! Yoga is a great bun-burner!

I agree with squats and lunges, weighted when you can. I do a 30lb bar bell when i do them.
Also, I walk on the treadmill at a 15 incline at 3.6 mph. It is hard....I sweat like crazy, burn a ton of calories, and my butt feels it afterwards, especially the first few times I did it!

Yep - I believe squats are the best one to do - those and donkey kicks and stepping up and down steps

Get oxygen magazine. I think it is this month that they have a great booty workout.

You can always just check it out on their website too.

Squats, lunges, stair-climbing, more squats.... and then this thing I don't know the name for ha ha...

- You lay on your back with your knees bent (think sit up position, but with your arms laying on the floor by your side).
- With your feet firmly planted on the ground, squeeze your buns together and lift your bum and middle off the floor so that only your feet and shoulders/neck/head is touching the floor. You should have a straight line from your knees to your head.
- Repeat by lowering and raising your bum several times. MAKE SURE YOUR CORE (ABS AND BACK) IS TIGHT DURING THIS PROCESS TO AVOID INJURING YOUR BACK!
- Note: Changing the amount of space between your feet works different areas of your glutes, so do a set with your feet so close together they are touching and then do another set with your feet farther apart.
