Answer Hello Kaylie!
To reduce your butt area, I would recommend two types of training to tone, tighten and firm up your glutes. The first is to incorporate high rep strength training movements into your plan. Shoot for 15-20 reps per set and use lighter weights since you're more focused on toning. Here are the best butt exercises to do:
I would also recommend starting a running program to really tone and shape your legs and butt to give you that tapered look your going for. Start off with very short distances and shoot for 1/2 mile when you first begin at about a 10 minute mile pace. Every week try to increase your distance 1/2 mile and try to decrease your run time. After your run, you might want to 4-5 short sprints of about 40-50 yards. These sprints are great for explosive movements and for getting that really lean look. You might also want to incorporate jumping rope into your cardio plan. This is one of the best overall body workouts you can do to burn major calories and tone your entire body.
