    Well, to tone and shape your bum you can do squats and lunges. Those help a lot. :D

    I seriously hope you're kidding.

    To OP:
    Squats and Lunges are going to be your best bet.. Bodyweight ones or heavy weighted ones.

    I did no squats and very very little lunges... by losing weight and walking a lot i got the great results! Other than walking it was cardio using a wii game

    Squat, you want to go at least parallel.. lower if you can.

    You can do bodyweight to help you get used to the movement, and then add weights. I do barbell squats with a 45 pound iron bar on my back.. and I def. feel those!

    Lose body fat, squats, lunges, deadlifts and hill sprints.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I've understood that we shouldn't go any lower than parallel, as it can be hard on the knee joints. Believe me, parallel will be hard enough anyway, esp. if you add weight.

    This is my playlist for butt workouts. My butt has lifted a bit doing them.

    Nope.

    The most stress on the knee happens if you stop AT parallel.

    I Agree!! Squats and Lunges are working wonders for me, 3-4 weeks I've been doing them 2 times a week (Do them more often if needed) and already people (family) are starting to notice a difference! I suggest you use weights to place on the top of your thighs while doing squats to make the workout more intense, and while doing lunges make sure your knee isn't going over your ankle and your back leg is low to the ground. Try to hold each lunge for 3-4 seconds.

    Squats - Usually I do 2 sets of 25. - it is very important that you perform these the correct way. If it hurts your back or knees chances are you are doing it wrong. Make sure your back is straightened and your butt is poked way out. "When in doubt, booty out!"

    Lunges - 2 and a half minutes by 4s. (1,2,3,4 - turn around 1,2,3,4 etc.)

    Good luck!

    Do weighted glute bridges and single leg hip extension in addition to the already mentioned exercises...and goblet squats. You can see how to do glute bridges and hip extensions here:

    P.S. You'll get better results in the long run if you eventually do a slight calorie surplus to increase muscle volume in the glutes.

    PPs pretty much have it covered...

    But just to reiterate...

    Squats, plie squats, deadlift, stiff-leg deadlift, lunges <-- all weighted (start with the bar and work your way up), weighted bridge, reverse plank...

    You can pretty much google any of the above to perfect form (which is oh so important).

    There's a website (blogsite) that I LOOOOVE with a booty workout- google "fit chicks booty builder"- a great, and fairly quick butt building workout HIIT style.

    Get it girl!

    DEFINITELY weighted squats and lunges. Nothing better! :)

    PS my behind is huge, even when I was at a size 8, so I know where you are coming from here.

    I just got a job in a warehouse lifting stuff and squatting for 40-50 hours a week. My butt has changed soo much in the past 4 months from doing this. Granted this avenue isn't the best for everyone, I just like that I'm getting fit while on the job. :D
