  1. To tone up butt and thigh muscles, one of the best is climbing stairs or using an elliptical machine.  The amount of resistance on the elliptical will basically depend on you - I'd start low and work my way up over time.  I tend to just use stairs, since you really don't have to go anywhere special or buy machines to use them.  Another good exercise is skipping, but not what you're used to. You skip, yes, but you lift your legs up perpendicular to your torso and spring up high with your other foot.  Doing this a few times during a brisk walk will soup up your workout.

    EDIT:  I'd just work the exercises into your routine. If you walk 30 minutes, spend half of that on stairs or going uphill. If you lift weights, include the leg press for a few reps.  Everyone is different, so I can't say "do this and do that" so many times.  It's really up to you how much you can or want to do. The more you do, the faster things will go. But it's also important not to over do things.  If you experience pain or cramps in your legs, you've done too much.  The mantra used to be: do it til you hurt. But that's not the case: if you end up hurting yourself, you'll be days off your routine just getting back to square one. So, just pace yourself with whatever feels comfortable to you.


  2. You really can't get around lunges and squats. do sets of 8 until you feel a burning and you can't do it anymore.  STOP if you feel any pain. Then rest for a day in between. You must keep in mind that muscle builds in REST not in working out but it is very important to work until your whole thigh/butt is burning. Check out some youtube videos on different types of lunges. Oh and remember to eat more protein as well as eat more in general. If you are toning then it doesn't matter but if you are interested in gain actual pounds in muscle you have to eat the right amount of extra calories.

  3. do squats, lunges, leg extensions and work the hip adductor and abductor muscles. This is done by putting pressure or weight on the outside of the thighs and pushing out or placing pressure or weight on the inner thighs and pressing in. There are machines in the gym that work these muscles. As far as how many or how long is concerned, keep doing them until you see results, but don't go crazy. give your muscles time to recuperate after a workout before you do it again.

  4. Try bowling... My legs and butt are killing me from just 1.5 hrs of FUN!!! it's like doing lunges only it doesnt feel like exercise... It's cheaper than a gym membership too, if you go at the right time....

  5. you should search it up somewhere else. don't waste your points.
