EXERCISE TO REDUCE HIPS: A COMBINATION OF BOTH EXERCISE AND DIET


As with all exercise, consistency is key. In order to acquire your aspired changes to the body it is important to create a plan and stick with it!!



Aerobic Exercise:
Not only does it help us strengthen our heart muscle and circulation but aerobic exercise such as walking, jogging, climbing stairs etc are all highly suited to reducing hip size. It is the type of exercise that is most effective and commonly used for burning fat on the body, however, has further advantage due to the muscle groups and areas of the body that are targeted during exercise. For example, jogging works muscles in the thighs, bottom and legs (hip region), which can result in the loss of weight and the toning of muscles.


If you do not have anybody to devise an exercise program for you, these are good exercises to begin with as they can be carried out almost anywhere; NO GYM NEEDED so NO EXCUSE! :)  



Diet:
This equation simply cannot be ignored. To the majority of people this will often mean less food, more exercise


Fat loss is only possible when there is a clear deficit when considering
- Calories In vs Calories Out – 
In order for exercise to have the desired affects it is important to consider ones diet. Consistency with training plans does not necessarily mean you are guaranteed to reduce your hip size. Consuming too many calories as well as high intakes of junk food will only hinder and delay any development, therefore making changes to the diet as well as increasing exercise may be necessary in helping you to progress a lot faster.
There are no specific diets that are tailored purely for reducing hip size, but as you are trying to lose fat from around a specific area, normal fat reducing exercise programs as well as a healthy diet will help do the trick. Obvious foods such as fruit and vegetables, especially green vegetables such as broccoli, asparagus and green beans; wholegrain products such as cereal, rice, pasta, bread; fish; lean meats such as turkey and chicken, are to be encouraged whilst avoiding junk food at all costs!
IMPORTANT: Starving yourself and skipping meals can have reverse effects, slowing down your metabolism causing you to gain rather than lose weight. For desired results... DO NOT SKIP MEALS!
