Best Exercises for Thighs and Butt

Hi! Right now, my workout routine is running on my treadmill at least 4 times per week. I also do strenght training exercises with free weights and an exercise ball. I'm liking the results I see on every part of me except my butt and thighs. Can anyone recommend some exercises to tone up these areas?

Thanks!

I take a lot of gym classes, and they make us do a million lunges and squats in EVERY class. They are definitely great exercises!

I 100% agree- I wanted to get lipo on the sides of my legs- and 4 weeks later I don't need it anymore

How many days per week are necessary enough for lunges and squats?

I try and do 2x a week but I always forget and that is not good. I do about 3 sets of 10 (one lunge exercise) and (one squat exercise).

Other than squats and lunges, stepping up and down on a bench, one leg at a time. Hold dumbells in your hands if you can.

Here's what it looks like
