Squats are great for your glutes (butt). Lunges are great for thighs. Hips will naturally decrease in size when you increase cardio (running, walking, etc.). Squats and lunges don't need equipment (your own body weight provides resistance) but you can add "weight" by holding heavy objects, such as soup cans or jugs of water. Also, squats can be done while you're brushing your teeth, drying your hair, etc. ~ T

I ran track and I know quite a bit about heathy eating/exercising and what worked for me is for a toned and defined look try eating more carbs (Don't Be Afraid!, try more pasta and bready substances that'll create bulk that'll turn into muscle if you committ to excercising) and doing active workouts like running stairs/bleachers, maybe a pump some weights w/your legs, things that really get you sweaty n tired (for me Skateboarding works just fine w/the occasional sprints and/or flights of stairs). To get a more lean yet tone look you want to go with a little more relaxed workout like yoga or pilates,excercises that concentrate on stretching and using your bodys' own weight to tone itself. For me results aren't as fast but if u want the more lean look this is great along with a diet that consists of more vegetables and more natural and basic foods.(Substituting ground turkey instead of beef also worked well before I became a vegetarian) Always remember Fluids Fluids Fluids!!! Stick with natural stuff like water, O.J., the less sugary stuff. And always get a good 30 min stretch before (And After!) excercising. Never "over-do" a workout, you don't want to die, getting a little out of breath is okay and normal however. A warm Bath always feels nice after a good workout and helps further relax your muscles!!

The best way to get a tight, firm butt and strong thighs is through weight training. Cardio exercise does not tone and sculpt your muscles the way weight training does.

In my exercise routine, I use 5 different weight machines for my lower body. I start with the Leg Press machine, which targets your quads (your front thigh muscles) and glutes (your butt). Next I use the Glute machine, where you face forward and push your leg into the air behind you. This targets your butt and hamstrings (your back thigh muscles). Then the hamstring curl machine, because I find that the Glute machine does not do an adequate job on my hamstrings. Then the inner thigh machine, and the outer thigh machine (which also targets your glutes).

These 5 machines will give you a firm, perky butt and curvy, shapely hips and thighs.

For your legs, you can get a stretch cord, and do the exercises that they box gives you. for example, attach the stretch cord to both feet then move one leg up and down. For the butt... idk.
