    i also don't get the "i'm too heavy for squats" thing- esp for OP who is only like 155lbs or so.

    Squats and deadlifts make a booty happy.

    I can only imagine that OP doesn't know what we mean by "squats" (or OP has a specific injury limiting ability to squat)? Here's a link about the exercise we are talking about:

    Here's one on deadlifts:

    Sorry - but I'm the OP and I NEVER said ANYTHING about me being too heavy for squats!! I said I do them! It was someone else who said they were too heavy...

    I know this has already been said, but deadlifts for sure. Also, I love kettlebell swings for glutes and hamstrings in particular.

    I know squats and lunges (especially with weights) but what else can I do? TIA!

    You have the answer but you're looking for what else you can do. Things that make me confused.

    Today I used Pilates butt burner, the full 30 minute workout. It literally had my *kitten* muscles burning lol, it's quite a challenge. It also works other muscles like your legs and of course your abs. On top of this I end up doing lunges and squats in the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels. I too would like to get rid of some of my butt...wayyy too much bubble now haha

    Here's a second vote for kettlebell swings.

    Dead lifts. I use 8 lb hand weights and do about 20-30 reps. Squeeze as hard as you can on the way up! You'll feel it in the morning.

    There's a platform to do something called "hyperextensions" which i do at my gym...That really targets the lower back and glute muscles. I also do a lot of bike riding....I know it sounds wrong, but yesterday when i was trying clothes on, i looked at my *kitten*, and I was SHOCKED at how round and tight it has gotten in about a year.

    So..... I know the answer is A. But could it be something other than A? I know you're going to say A, but what else could it be besides A?

    Sorry but I don't have access to a gym so I can't do anything with "heavy" weights, no matter how much I want to try. So I was hoping there might be other things I can do that don't require a crap ton of money.
