I have been doing about half an hour of butt exercises (lunges/squats/donkey kicks/butt bridge etc etc) about twice a week for a couple of months. I use some light weights, and I want to make my butt more shapely and bigger. I thought this was possible, but my butt became flatter and smaller. Is this normal, what am I doing wrong? I’m eating reguarly so it’s not that I’m loosing weight. I’m thinking of continuing the exercise for several more months to see if it does get bigger, or should I stop the exercises?
Another question: is it ok to do Many different types of butt exercises. I know some people just do lunges/squats but I do like 10 different types of exercises. Thank you!
Thank you for anwering! I forgot to mention, I only do one set of about 10 of each exercise. I don't do more sets because I do so many exercises (like I said, about 10 different exercises).

The problem is not the exercise, it’s the amount of repetitions you are doing. Muscle is built when you at a load to its movement. Stop doing 1000 lunges and do 3 sets of 10 with weight. I hate to say it but its true, you need more protein to improve the quality of the muscle and eat natural carbs to provide you energy needs. Three exercises is all you need to tone and build muscle.

Bishopofpeace is right. “Spot” weight loss doesn’t work- for instance if you do tons of chest exercises it won’t make fat melt away just in your chest. The key to a big butt without getting fat is muscle.. which is obtained by, as the guy above me said, doing heavier weight with less reps.
