    Squats all day everyday will give you that *kitten* you always wanted, nothing else needs added to this thread.

    Simple, as that.

    No offense but you don't even look like you lift.
    Then you said no one else needs to contribute to this thread.
    Where did you get such an idea that simply squatting and nothing else is all OP ever needs to do, to help her achieve her ideal physique?

    Just do Insanity. You will get a butt that is for sure!

    Squats and deadlifts.

    Mines gotten smaller, but higher. I also had cellulite when I started, that's almost 100% gone.

    If you are not doing heavy barbell hip thrusts, you are not reaching your full glute potential.

    There are a lot of exercises that promote glute perkiness and roundness. Check out 'Strong Curves' by Bret Contreras for exercises beyond squats and lunges. There is no guarantee that you'll get any bigger, but you'll get stronger, and whatever you've got will be rounder and firmer.

    I agree. :)

    Agreement from me also.

    I got it on a tip from BinaryPulsar! Also, since I've been doing the Strong Curves exercises, some nagging adductor pain I'd been having has cleared up.

    Thank you for this extra bit of info. Sometimes I still get residual pains like that and since I fear workouts sometimes, this is good to know that it might actually make it better.

    Heavy squats, heavy lunges, heavy stiff-legged deadlifts

    "heavy stiff-legged deadlifts" are called Romanian Deadlifts.

    Make sure you use proper form for the best result. You want strong glutes not a trip to Snap City.

    Squats. Squats. Squats.

    If you are afraid of the barbell or don't have access to a squat rack then Goblet squats with a heavy dumbbell will work for a while.

    Squats are great, but there are lots of exercises for glutes. The old buns of steel videos didn't have squats. Also Ballet lifts your butt. Pilates has glute moves as well.

    Bad knees, squats are out, but my butt doesn't sag because I do lots of exercises for glutes.

    I will be checking out Strong Curves though as well.

    I have arthritis and a baker's cyst on my knees and squats and lunges are out for me as well. Ballet Beautiful is excellent with leg circles, variation of glutes bridges and super hard but worth getting a bubbly butt.

    Bret Contreras is very clear that having injuries can shut down the glute activation. He recommends many variations of the exercises, so that a person can work their way up from a workable starting place in order to be working the muscles correctly and not aggravating injuries. It has helped me with my knee injuries as well. It's just really wonderful to be able to do the heavy lifting, compound moves, but in the way that works for my body. He also emphasizes proper form before going even heavier. I also like The New Rules of Lifting for Life.
