Looking For the Best Exercise for Reducing Hip Measurements?

First, remember that we are all born with a certain bone structure and we cannot change that.

We do, though, have the ability to firm our fat areas with good nutrition and the right exercises.

My first recommendation on the best exercise for reducing hip measurements would be to begin walking or bicycling on a level surface for 30-60 minutes most days of the week.

You should keep up a fast enough pace that you cannot carry on a full conversation with someone else without a bit of huffing and puffing.

Why the level surface?

It is important because when we climb; for instance, the popularity of the stairclimbers in recent years has disillusioned us into thinking that we were burning fat strictly from our hips because that's where we felt the burn.

You will definitely be stronger and more efficient but the fat is not necessarily coming off from just that area.

This is why climbing is not the best exercise for reducing hip measurements.

An even, level surface whether biking or walking is effective in burning fat over the 30- 60 minutes and not bulking up the muscle in those areas at the same time.

The fat comes off the body generally, not in any specific areas.

Some of my favorite Pilates exercises are also the best exercise for reducing hip measurements.

These exercises work to lubricate the hip joint for less pain. Some of these exercises are listed below:

The Side Kick sequence:

Front and Back Kicks:

Lying on your side with hips and ribs aligned, head resting on bottom arm, top leg at hip level. Swing your top leg forward and back keeping the torso still and the waist long. Repeat 8-10 times each leg.

Up and Down kicks:

Lying on your side with hips and ribs aligned, head resting on bottom arm. Your top leg reaches up towards the ceiling pointing the foot and then flex the foot and pull down through the heel, reach past the bottom foot. Repeat 8-10 times each leg.

Circles on your side:

Lying on your side with hips and ribs aligned, head resting on bottom arm. Your top leg makes circles like you are drawing on the wall away from you keeping the torso still and waist long. Repeat 8-10 times each leg.

Leg Circles:

Lying on your back with one leg and your body anchored to the mat, other leg is extended up at just under a 90 degree angle.

Circle the elevated leg in the hip socket about 6-8 circles each direction. Keep your trunk and opposite leg anchored and unmoving. Repeat on the other side for 6-8 circles.
