Stairs and hills will work your bum. Do you live in a hilly area? Try running or walking up hills. And if you do the stairmaster at a gym, don't lead on the handrails, it changes the muscles you are working.

As for your thighs... losing weight overall will trim your thighs down, but you can work inner and outer thighs with a particular machine at the gym, if you belong to one.

if you don't have a gym, there are certain moves you can do at home or work!

you can do squats! squats happen to be one of my favorites to do.. it targets both your thighs and your butt.. you can either do it up against the wall or standing alone.. go down nice and easy and make sure that when you go down your knees don't go further then your feet.. and squeeze on the way up.. don't straighten up your legs on your way up.. and do it nice and slow.. feel the burn..

also, deadlifts.. I LOVE to do these.. you can take dumbells or a body bar.. bend over like you are picking up the bar, make sure your back is straight.. pick up the bar while keeping your back straight raise it and as you raise, tighten the buns.. very important to tighten.. and nice and slow..


also, lunges.. but be careful with these.. if you don't have good knees you can easilyhurt yourself considering that you need good form to do these properly..

walking on a treadmill is also good.. but remember, to use the incline feature..

One thing I like to do on the treadmill is 'rump running' you walk at a regular pace, and then speed it up and kick your legs back and run like that for a minute, then go back to the regular pace for 5 then repeat..

you can also do this other move..can't remember what it's called but I'll try and give you the best instructions I can. you stand.. and hold onto a pole.. or a wall..just so your sturdy.. raise your leg back about 6 inches off of the floor.. as you raise your leg back without bending your knee, you should immediately feel pressure on your buns.. now squeeze your buns and continue to do this 20-30 times.. and then switch legs.. this def works!!

I have a whole bunch more.. let me know!
