    Just squats? I thought they worked the front of the legs?

    Yes! Squats are excellent, and you can also use dumbells to really get workin'
    Stability ball hamstring curls KILL ME! It is an excellent hamstring workout as well
    If you have access to some equipment, you can also do Glut-Ham Raises

    No, squats work the bum, and back of the legs. Also lunges.

    Yup. I concur on the squats. Squats are the king of all lifts. Just make sure you go to at least parallel.

    Here is a good link on the break down of the squat.

    Cardio Barre. Or even a proper ballet class if you're up for it!

    I think clean and jerk is king... but squat is certainly in the royal family...

    Alright I'll be doing squats and lunges. So with squats I want my butt at close to floor as I can, right?

    Squats for sure! I would watch videos to make sure of correct form. I hurt myself in high school because my form was bad

    For squats results check my pictures xD

    Squats, putting your weight on your heels works glutes more. Squats putting your weight on your toes works the front more. Pre-fatiguing the quadriceps will help isolate the glutes better too. :)

    Squats and lunges, man. Lunges are my mortal enemy.

    I bought Brazil Butt Lift DVD and he focuses in on those areas....I actually like the Bum Bum DVD the best. Great moves with no weights. He says the goal is to build the butt without making our legs larger....perfect for me because my legs LOVE to get a lot of muscles.

    I took a lot of these movies and put them in my Zumba class that I teach and I really like it.

    For example: No weights: Squat low, then stand up and push one leg behind you and squeeze butt. There really are a lot of different moves that I can tell focus in on those areas and inner thigh.

    If you can just buy the Bum Bum DVD, I think you would be happy.

    Add some Stiff-Legged Deadlifts to those squats and lunges and you can't go wrong! :)

    Squats + Deadlifts is just about full body lifting. You use almost everything to execute these lifts properly.

    Squat *kitten* are God's gift to the world.

    Squats and lunges are killer for the butt and legs but what I found really sculpted my backside and removed all of my cellulite was deadlifts. I do one legged w/ dumbbells, regular with a barbell, sumo with a barbell, and stiff legged with dumbbells. I also do hamstring curls on the machine. I lift as heavy as I can to only get to 8-10 reps on those, and they KILL! I do them twice a week, and my hammies are very sculpted and smooth right up to under my glutes. :smile:

    Love the deadlift and am curious about the combination of your set listed above. How often do you do these?

    Make sure you squat the right way. The first time I tried squats I pulled my Quadricep muscles, stage 2. I could hardly walk for several days. All the videos in the world make it look so easy but if you've never done one before you can really hurt yourself.

    Pilates and the Bar Method workouts. I know Pilates or a Ballet style workout don't look like much but give it a try. I promise you will feel it in your rear.. I swear sometimes after my Pilates class I feel like I cant sit down because my butt is so sore!!!
