So are you saying i have to put butter directly on the bootie?

A few thought on this. The average person can not get big muscles by accident. Adding some leg workouts is unlikely to give you a big butt, for a couple reasons:

1) it takes a plan to gain muscle... expect hard work, be consistent, and give it time.
2)muscle is much smaller in size than fat. Gaining pounds of muscle will not be obvious if it is under pounds of fat.
3)Pay close attention to your total body fat%, you might see faster results by changing this a little bit.

Here go some exercises you can use to change the shape of your legs, butt and lower back:
stairs, cycling, running, walking, hiking. For walking/running an incline will make you use glutes more.
Squats/lunges. These exercises use most of your lower body and are an efficient use of your time.



If you a serious about making a plan here go some things to think about:

set aside a period of time, 1 month, 3 months, whatever.
Actually take the time to get your measurements before you start and after you finish
Spend the first few weeks getting you body accustomed to the exercises you plan on doing. That means pick a weight that feels like it's too low and make sure you get the form right.
There are different kinds of muscle you can gain by lifting different ways.
Lifting for endurance will result in ever smaller, tighter, more efficient muscles.
Lifting for power will result in bigger, faster muscles.
Lifting for strength is somewhere in between.
Your plan should probably start with a few weeks of endurance, then move to strength. Don't go for power until you are certain you know what you are doing.
Make sure you rest enough between exercise. Your muscles will only grow while you are not pounding on them.
Diet for gaining mass is just as tough as diet when you are trying to lose fat.
If you plan on gaining 1lb of muscle a week (which is the most you can really expect) you will need to eat 300-500 calories more than your maintenance intake.
Additionally you need to make sure you are not gaining fat while adding muscle.
Cardio can help burn fat and give you endurance... but if you run or walk from here to Kalamazoo it's unlikely to give you big muscle.


Given this, you should also consider making it a goal to tone and firm up your body as whole. The lower your body fat%, the more muscle is going to show.

Are 1 leg squats when you bend 1 leg and squat down on the standing leg?

I will try this one. My problem with squats have been, that when I do them, I feel it only in my thighs, not my glutes. Perhaps I'm not doing them right. I also have big thighs (quads), and when ever I do lower body work everything goes straight to my legs :(

ooh...I really feel this one.

A hahahaaaaa!

I will put this on my christmas list.
