Won't work :(: If you are skinny and your butt is disproportionately fat, diet or exercises will not help. People store fat in different areas based on genetics. Weight loss programs will diminish fat overall and not target certain areas. Exercises similarly can tone a specific area but not cause weight reduction limited to that area. Only true solution is liposuction, it can be targeted.

Spot fat loss does : Not occur naturally. By losing weight in general some will probably be butt fat. But, we don't get to choose what area of body fat is lost from. Eat healthy ; be physically active. Calories burned must > those consumed. Exercises to tone your butt include plie, dumbell squats, squat w kick-back, single leg front raises, toe taps, clock lunge, step ups w knee raise, lunge jumps ; squat jumps.
