    So far you've posted about abs and glutes...

    The answer is the same. Calorie deficit, resistance training.

    What are your goals?

    Best thing I would recommend is follow a well rounded lifting program with lots of variety for the glutes that has you progressing over time. Something like Strong Curves is a great one.

    I just want to have a flatter stomach and a more rounded booty. I will look this up!

    Personally I like weighted hip bridges using the Smith machine.

    For the flat stomach you gotta eat less though.

    Depending on your stats, if you have weight to lose, eat in a deficit, incorporate weight training, get adequate protein. This will help you retain muscle and help define the glutes as you get to goal. If you are a good weight for your height and just want to change your body composition, eating at maintenance and recomping is also a good option.

    Squats - real ones with a barbell on your back - to parallel or a little deeper, this will also help those ab.
    like other posts said- eat at a slight deficit to show those abs, but it might help to build them first
    also google Bret Contreras

    I think lunges are also good for the booty muscles.

    Lifting :) My favorites for working my glutes are deadlifts (straight-legged are my favorite and KILL my glutes!), curtsy lunges, barbell and goblet squats, reverse lunges, barbell hip thrusts, split squats.
