For a perfectly toned and pert bottom, do two to three sets of the following exercise sequence several times a week.
Hamstring curl

First, get yourself a stability ball. Once you have it, lie down on your back, arms by your sides. Let your calves rest on the ball at a right angle. Tilt your pelvis up and pull the ball towards you by bending the knees until the ball touches your bottom, then return to the straight position. Don’t let your bottom touch the floor at any time. Repeat this exercise 20-25 times to work the area at the back of your leg hard and create great shape underneath your bottom.
Reverse lift
This exercise works your lower back, which provides shape to the area above your bottom, and will give the “lift” that the pelvis and bottom may be lacking. Lying face down, with your hands under your chin, raise both legs away from the floor behind you, keeping your body down at all times. The movement is small and should be performed slowly (about 3 seconds per rep). Do 15-20 reps.

Donkey kicks
Rest on your elbows and knees, which should be bent at 90 degrees. Raise one leg behind you, pushing the sole of your foot towards the ceiling. As you do so, really squeeze the area at the top of your buttock. This will tone and shape the whole of the bottom area. Do 20-30 reps, depending on your fitness level, and repeat with the other leg.
