How do I slim down my hips?

Hips are many women's nemesis. Slim down your hips by doing a few simple things. Doing a few exercises targeting the hip area may help shed an inch or two. Combining exercise with changes to your diet will really help you to slim down your hips.

Exercising

Use an exercise ball to help eliminate some of the fat in your hip area. Read the manufacturer's instructions that come with the ball and look for exercises that specifically help the hip area.

If you don't have an exercise ball, use a child's rubber ball to help you exercise and slim down your hips. Sit on the edge of a dining room chair or some other relatively hard chair. Place the ball between your knees and squeeze it 10 times. Do this four to five times a day. Increase the repetitions to 20 times a sitting after a couple of days.

Do squats to help reduce your hips. Open a door and stand facing it. Hold onto both the doorknobs. Spread your legs shoulder-width apart. Squat down until you are about 12 inches from the floor. Do 10 repetitions two to three times a day.

Get all-important aerobic exercise. Do this at a gym if you have a membership. Or get aerobic exercise at home. Exercise videos target different parts of the body, such as the hips. Get your heart rate up and your blood moving to help you slim down your hips.

Diet

Eliminate most fatty foods, such as fast food or fried foods. Buy fat-free items. Drink plenty of water and a lot less soda.

Eat your meals at regular times. This helps your body prepare to receive food and encourages all-over weight loss, including the hips.

Fix smaller meals throughout the day. Instead of the usual three regular meals, fix five smaller meals. This helps to keep your metabolism going, gives you more energy and helps you burn more calories. Include fruits, vegetables and proteins throughout the day. This encourages over-all weight loss, including your hips.
