Place your hands on the edge of your couch with the front side of your body facing away. Your feet should be at a comfortable distance from the couch so that you can assume a bent-elbow position. Next, starting with your elbows straightened, slowly lower your body so that your butt moves closer to the floor while you bend at the elbows. Once you are as low as you can go and your shoulders and arms are at a 90-degree angle, straighten your arms and start over again.
Focus on lowering and rising using only your arm muscles and not using your quads.

Great exercise for tightening the buns.
While on all fours, lift one leg 90 degrees to the side so that you look like a male dog relieving himself. Hold for a two-count and lower the leg. Do your reps (10 or 15 to a set) on one side then the other, instead of alternating legs after each rep.
Lie on your side with your forearm on the floor under your shoulder to prop you up, and your feet stacked. Contract your core and press your forearm against the floor to raise your hips until your body is straight from ankles to shoulders. Hold for 15 to 45 seconds, then repeat on the other side. Contract your abs and butt muscles forcefully to keep your body straight.
