Do squats.
Make sure you have good form and do it with a barbell, not a machine.

stiff legged deadlifts focus on the glutes probably more than any other leg exercise those and glute-hamstring raises on a back extension bench

george stiles
try doing some lunges along with the squats and stiff leg dead lift those three combined 3 times a week in 3sets of 8to 10 reps should get you results also increase your cardio and pay attention to you diet

if you want to burn fat off (sounds like you do), do a lot of bodyweight exercises with high numbers of repetitions mixed with interval jogging/sprints. do these 5-6 days/wk, and get at least 45 minutes per workout, and keep going. do complex exercises (involving large groups of muscles) with full range of motion and alternate between uppers, core (abs/lower back), and lowers (glutes and legs) so that you can keep your metabolic rate up, i.e., if your legs get tired from jogging/running, drop and do pushups 'til your arms tire, then do situps, then jump rope, then hyperextensions, then jumping jacks, then side crunches, pullups, etc., alternating like that so you can keep busy and burn the fat off. unless you eat a stick of butter with every meal and wash it down with three beers, i wouldn't worry about dieting, except to cut out heavily carbonated drinks (almost all soft drinks) to give you the windpower to keep going.
after you've burned off the fat (30-60 days), do the exercises the other posters have mentioned above, plus full range of motion leg presses, to make your glutes stronger and to tone them.

well i got a treadmill in my basement i finally started using.. i would run somedays 3 miles it said on it and would eat very light..no snacking inbetween and i found out quickly that running really works the abdonimals better then doing crapload of situps..least it burned off all the excess fat..but now i rose the incline up all the way and run only about a 1 mile a day cuz its harder but i mix in jogging and when i get bored i take it all the way to 10mph at full incline and sprint for 30secs then drop it back down to jog and i do this straight but i kinda get more tired without eating that much i try to do 40-50 pushups a day too..maybe im just impatient ive only done this for a week and i can see results but im always angry cuz i want more

It doesn't matter if you do it with free weights or a machine. Just make sure you are feeling resistance. Free weights actually cause you to use more stabalizer muscles. When you use a machine, it allows you to keep perfect form and concentrate just on your targeted area.>
