Bum~Looking for exercise suggestions.

For cardio the Elliptical Machine works your butt really well.

But the only sure fire way is lots of llunges and squats. Check out Shape.com for some great examples of lunges and squats you can do!

Run, run, then run some more. Squat, lunge and squat some more.

I hate running, will walking fast help any?

I agree squats are great for the bum. Kickboxing seems to help as well!

Running definitely helps - would running on a treadmill be any easier for you? I think the ellipitical helps too, but I think running is way better. And as others said - definitely squats!

I don't have access to a gym so machines are out. I've been trying to motivate myself to run for awhile now. Maybe if I know it will help my tush, I'll start. I'll start the squats ASAP.

I'm having really good luck with the treadmill - I put the grade on 15, or as high as it will go, and walk steadily, 2.5 to 3.5 pace, for a half-hour. I alternate with teh ellipitcal every other day, too. The ellipitcal helps my but, but the treadmill gets the back of my thighs better.

I;m an avid runner but days I don't feel like running I do intervals. Say run for a minute, walk fast for 4 minutes etc for 30 minutes, 20 minutes whatever. Any running is better than no running. Walking on an incline helps also.

I'm in a kickboxing class right now, and I've started running...and I notice a slight difference, but my kickboxing teacher also teaches step aerobics, and she says within a couple of weeks of starting that program again she always notices her butt is a little higher...

so i would try step aerobics
