How do I lose this big butt?

Options
Now I know a little butt is a good thing....having a flat butt is not my goal, but I have a little more junk in my trunk than I'd like to have!! Does anybody have any tips? Good exercises to tone the butt or anything? Anything will help!! Thanks!! :)

    Squats!!!! They lift it where is should be but also make it smaller. I don't know about other people, but biking makes my butt flat!!!

    Well, I have a HUGE butt right now, but back in my "skinny days" I found lots of walking actually made my butt smaller.

    Oh, I come from a long line of short, squat peasants, with "childbearing hips." I, too, struggle with the booty. So, yes, lunges and squats work like everyone else is saying, but I have a secret weapon DVD called "Bar Method Body Designer Sculpting" and it's got this exercise called "the pretzel," plus a killer series of variations on "bridge pose" that have done more to tone my tush than anything else.
    And, to bethanna91, in my experience, no the elliptical is good cardio so great for all around fat loss and health, but it has not done much to tone the bum. Still a great piece of equipment tho!

    I set the elliptical just to work the Glutes.... It will shrink as you lose the weigh~

    The elliptical is supposed to be one of the best machines for toning the butt and backs of the thighs and I tend to agree. Since I got my elliptical about a month and a half ago my butt has really toned/lifted and shrunk.
