Suggestions for workouts to thin/tone thighs, lift butt.

I want my butt bigger...one problem I have is my thighs are big, so my butt looks flatter because there isn't that much of a bump any more. How do I think out my thighs without looksing my butt? Any suggestions?

I think Eliptical machines at the gym are pretty good for that.

That is my exact problem too! I wish I could push some of my thigh meat up into my butt. I have always done squats and lunges but am hitting them much harder (higher weight to build the muscle), twice a week now. I have also added an additional exercise that I have only been using a short time but can tell a difference. I don't know what to call it other than lying hip thrust. Basicall, I lay on my back, knees bent, feet flat on the floor as close to my butt as I can get (probably about an inch or two from my butt). I rest a 20 pound weight on my lower abs. I use a 20lb dumbell and just rest my hands on each end to keep it in place. Thrust your hips up as far as you can while tightening your glutes. Hold for a count of two and release. I do 3 sets of 20. Just make sure you do the move through your glutes, not your back.

I have also started running (the c25k program) and can really feel that where I need the help. I haven't been doing it long enough to see a difference but I hope to soon.

All good suggestions. Try deadlifts too.
