You can only slim your butt by doing cardio.
But, if you want to firm it, do step-ups on a bench. Find a bench that's any height - I use one of the flat benches in the gym but you could use a lower one (not too low though!). Put your right foot on the bench and step up. Try to use your left leg as little as possible; it really is only there to balance you. Try to just tap your left foot to the bench and then lower your left leg to the ground (keep your right foot on the bench). Repeat about 12 times total.
Switch legs. Try to do 3 sets on each leg.
The higher the bench, the harder it'll be on your glutes. You can hold dumbbells in your hands to make it harder too.
This is an awesome glute exercise!
Squats also work well, just make sure that when you push up, you're pushing up through your heels.
I do squats, and also walking and the elliptical machine. I think that inline skating is also very good for the butt.

How many days a week do you think I should work at this to see results? is 2x a week good enough or should be more. Cardio will be about 4x a week.
