whats the best workout to tone up your back and butt?

Question:

Answers:
Hamstring machines or the kneeling butt blaster. With your elbows and knees on the ground, put strap some weight on your knees and raise one leg up at a time with knees bent at 90 degrees.

Other Answers:
Stocking the beer cooler at a gas station.

That is to say, squats are probably your best bet for butt and thighs.
I'm not sure, but I have been told by a few people that being on your hands and knees and extending your legs, one at a time, straight out behind you and holding them in mid-air is good for back-rolls.

Lower-Back Lift
Muscles Worked: erector spinae, glutes, and hamstrings

Step 1

Lie facedown on an aerobic step or bench, with your legs hanging down off the end and your hips bent at a 45- to 90-degree angle. Bend your knees, and cross your ankles. Hold on to the edges of the step for support. Keep your head down.

Step 2

Tighten your abdominals to help support your lower back. Keeping your knees bent, slowly lift your legs until your thighs are in line with your body and are parallel to the floor. Pause, then slowly lower back to the starting position.

Remember to pause for a breath between lifts.

Don't straighten your legs.

Don't lift your legs higher than parallel.

Don't arch your back or neck.

Don't jerk your legs up and down; keep the move slow.

Your Program
Sessions per week: 2 or 3; allow at least 1 day of rest between workouts.

Repetitions: 8 to 12 lifts are considered a set. Do 1 to 3 sets, allowing 30 to 60 seconds of rest between sets.

Weight: If you can't do 8 repetitions, the weight is too heavy. When you can easily do 12 repetitions, the weight is too light.

Speed: 3 to 5 seconds to lift, 1-second pause, 3 to 5 seconds to lower.

Quick Tip: For an easier version of this exercise (or if you don't have a step or bench), perform it using sofa cushions on the floor. Your range of motion will be smaller, but you can work the same muscles.

If you have pain in your lower back or hips, check your position, rest a few days, or do the move in a shorter range of motion. If pain persists, ask a certified instructor at your local gym to teach you an alternative exercise. Or see your doctor.

also, back workouts like the lower back machine help alot.

oh, you will make sir-mix-a-lot sad.

Your back automatically tones itself when you do other workouts. However, to make it and your butt more toned up, when you have to bend, bend at the waist and not at the knees when you have to bend over. You can lift as much as 50 pounds using mostly your back muscles, believe it or not, even though doctors reccommend you don't lift anything over 10 pounds using mostly your back muscles.
When you bend at the waist to pick something up, your butt muscles stretch too. The combination of these stretches will make both your back and your butt more toned.
