    Squats, lunges and deadlifts. No need for a DVD. :smile:

    I have heard that Jillian Michael's Killer Buns and Thighs works well. I havent tried it yet, but I am planning on doing it tonight.

    If you want a DVD get Pure Barre. I take the class and they focus a lot on your "seat". I have definitely noticed a change!!

    I use Fitness Blender all the time. They have a great variety of free streaming videos, and you can search for ones that target specific muscle groups (i.e. glutes! yay bum!), or by what kind of exercise you want, (i.e. cardio, strength, toning etc) You can also modify these by adding weight or just using bodyweight.

    Here's the link to the glute workouts:

    My suggestion is this: Get this http://www.ultimatesandbagtrainingstore.com/ultimate-sandbag-systems/for-beginners and a bag of sandbox grade play sand from Home Depot (like $3.00 for a 50 lb bag of it). All you need. As a dude it even makes me feel muscle activation in the glutes like nothing else, and this is coming from someone who used to work out with heavy squats. Use the Youtube workouts and what comes with it. SO many exercises.

    Heavy lifting. Compound training. That's the stuff, right there. Whether with a barbell or a sandbag or whatever...

    I've been doing a TON of squats and lunges with Insanity and I have noticed a huge difference that I'm loving. Only problem is that my knees are starting to hurt from all the high-impact Insanity workouts. Anyone have ideas for reducing knee pain or modifying those movements so that they're still effective but won't bother the knee?

    Eat at a slight calorie surplus, do heavy weighted squats, deadlifts and lunges. Hill sprints are good too.

    Yes. Oft neglectied point. A calorie surplus. Your muscle wil not grow bigger without it.

    Ditto everyone who said squats, deadlifts and lunges with heavy weights. Adding weights make a big difference for my butt. I also like kettlebell swings. I remember someone recommended weighted glute bridges.

    I swear by Brazil Butt Lift. I've had amazing results. I had NO butt whatsoever and what I did have looked terrible. It's made a world of difference for me.

    I second squats, lunges and deadlifts with heavy weights. Doing them daily is overkill

    Also there is an abundance of buns workouts on fitness blender (youtube) and butt bible is also available on youtube

    Solution is don't do Insanity. Do weights instead.

    Congrats on losing the weight you wanted too!

    Just like every other smart person has said, SQUATS, DEADLIFTS, LUNGES, I even seen hill sprints. Do not rely on a dvd workouts. To answer the question, "How heavy of weights?" Start light and build from there. Start with body weight squats and work up. Do multiple sets with high reps. Try single leg squats & deadlifts. Jump squats. Goblet squats with a single dumbbell. When you are comfortable enough, move to Barbell squats & deadlifts. You think you are "tone" now, doing these compound lifts will really "tone" you up.

    Youtube "Lift & Tone Booty Routine With Katrina." I tried it yesterday and I felt muscle fatigue in places on my butt that I never felt before! Under the youtube vid, there's a link to the "printable workout."

    Google "butt bible level 1." It will get you a 20 minute workout on Youtube. I have never done it, but I am told it is a killer!

    ^^^THIS!!! It's funny how everyone feels the need to buy into some overpriced, heavily marketed, "DVD program" hosted by some celebrity fitness trainer, when people in the squat racks with heavy weights have been finding success for decades. Keep it simple, people! Put down the DVD, and pick up the heavy weights!!!
