Say "Super-size me" in the drive-thru line and then take your 95g of fat and 1400 calories home... :-)
The hard part is that to make your muscles larger, you really need to use resistance. So while there are some non-weight calisthenics you can do to tone, firm and strengthen your gluteals (the muscles across your backside), they're not really going to make it bigger.
If you can somehow get 20-lb boots, you could do rear leg lifts, or better yet rear kicks:
Stand facing the wall and rest your arms on it. Pull your right knee up to your chest, then extend it to the rear, about waist-height. (It should look like you are trying to kick open a door behind you.) Do this 15 times, then switch legs.
An inexpensive way to get some resistance out of this: Buy one of those stretch bands, hook one end around your right foot and hold the other end against the wall with your right hand. The idea is that as you extend your leg, you're stretching the band. Then switch -- left foot in one end, left hand in the other, lift the left leg and extend it.
It won't make your butt bigger anything NEAR as fast as a diet of Double Quarter Pounders with large fries and a chocolate shake, but you'll be a lot stronger...
