I'm a healthy weight (on the lower end of the BMI for my height) and I have great arms/abs (I do 80 crunches a night!) Been working on toning the upper body for 3 years now diligently, but the waist down, outside of walking, seems to have fallen far behind the rest.

So I have what I refer to as "Linen Butt". I don't know if this is an actual term (lol).. but I compare my butt to folded linen (sheets), as the skin folds (loose skin) when I bend my legs back or stand straight.

You know what I mean right?

So I have all this loose skin in the butt/back of the thighs area. I do squats nightly, and the walking.. but I'm wondering what exercises I may incorporate to tone this particular area?

Thanks for your suggestions in advance! (by the way, I don't own a car, or a gym membership, I exercise via walking or on my balance ball/with hand weights in my living room in my apartment, so apartment exercises would be optimal if possible!).

congratulations on your weight loss and it sounds like your exercising is paying off. Lunges really work out the butt, I personally can't do them. I don't have a good balance. really seprate your foot back so there is a great distance between you back leg and your front leg then bring your knee down to the floor. you can use a stick to help balance yourself. google lunges videos I am sure they are out there.
good luck! I have gained half of my weight back so I need to get back to the gym and start dieting again.
