Below are some exercises to help you shrink it and tighten it up. Burpees; for optimum results try to do 10-20 of them. If you can't do that amount when you first start work towards the amount. You can add these to your already planned workout and do them daily. Crusty lunge; I have never heard of these, you want to do 3 sets of 12-15 reps.

Here is how you do them: Start by standing upright, now move your left leg behind to the right so that your thighs cross, bending both knees as if you were curtsying. While bending, join your palms together. Repeat the same with your right leg, this will complete one rep. Glute kickbacks; make sure you do each leg, do 10-15 reps on each leg. These you should be able to do th...
