What are good butt and leg exercises?!
Question: I used to workout a lot with free weights, but now I mainly just do pilates and cardio workouts, because I felt as though I was looking too bulky. I lost my butt...I want to firm my butt and legs again, but I don't know what I can do at home. I have one of those big workout balls. Can I do something on that? Does jump-rope help too? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

for your legs (particularly inner thighs)
a good workout that i would suggest is lunges. they hurt like hell if you do it right but in the long run they are worth it.
if you are just beginning, i'd start out with only like 8 lunges (four per leg) pretend that you are racing someone, and try to cover as much distance as your can (within comfort of course)
and remember to let your back knee fall so it almost hits the floor (i wouldnt let it though, because that can hurt after a while :/)
wait a little while and then do it again.
we do these for preseason in soccer; we race each other down the field and i thought i was going to die. i was so sore for a while, but its worth it :)
remember to keep it all in moderation. you'll know immediately when its working :P
hope that helps
okay i don't know any good leg exercises but good but exercises would be like 15 squats every day it really evens and tones out your butt.(i know from experience)
yes jump rope is prob your best friend in fat loss (which is what you want if you want smaller legs and butt). as far as other exercises go, bodysqauts and goodmornings are prob the best with the stiffleg deadlift comming in 2nd. these will give you more muscle in your butt and thighs.
squats and lunges.
