Even if people tell you that you're beautiful just as you are, if your wide hips are making you feel self-conscious and you'd like to do something about them, there's nothing wrong with wanting to improve your body image.
While you can't expect to get skinnier hips through spot reduction methods, you can lose hip fat by losing overall body fat. You can accomplish this by doing regular, sweaty cardio sessions, burning more calories than you consume and toning your core and lower body. According to a study published in the American Journal of Physiology , estrogen may influence where you store fat. Women often store fat around the pelvis, buttocks and thigh area to act as reserve storage for the energy demands of lactation in the event of pregnancy.
In other words, as a woman, you may have wider hips than your male counterparts for biological reasons. If you want to lose weight on your hips, it's important to note that you cannot do so through targeted exercises because spot reduction doesn't work.
To get skinnier, narrower hips, you'll need to lose body fat from all over your body. Once you start losing overall body fat, you can focus on specific exercises that will help tone your hips. To effectively trim your hip fat, Harvard Health Publishing recommends engaging in at least 30 minutes of high-intensity activity per day like cycling, swimming, jogging or even brisk walking.
Combining regular cardio with strength training exercising with weights or your own body weight a few times per week will help you shed weight, lose body fat and look slimmer all over. In addition, eating right is key in the quest for thinner hips. Kate Becker Profile. Boston University moderates comments to facilitate an informed, substantive, civil conversation.

Perhaps the genes affecting sexual dimorphism in humans are not as strong as we would like. While men may prefer women with larger hips, women may prefer men with narrow hips or at least proportionately larger shoulders than hips.
If narrow hipped men have narrow hipped children then even if their daughters fail to reproduce their sons would safely pass on that trait to the next generation. That makes sense, Kerry. That maybe women would select men with narrower hips, their shoulders appearing larger by comparison.
I think the bit of the article talking about the agrarian age has some insight as well. If things like Phytic Acid and Vitamin D deficiencies made more bone mass more costly, it makes sense that less bones mass, smaller hips, would be selected for. Especially in European agrarian societies. Even in an agrarian society the selective pressures would be very strong as weaker malnourished hips could much more easily result in a birth complication, killing mother and child.
Or could cause a debilitating injury before then, that would make carrying a child difficult. Thank you, Professor Lewton!
Thank you Kate Becker! You have to go farther than this and study Olympic athletes. That is if you want to know the truth of course. In this article you judged people based off of a treadmill. Running in a track race is tremendously more demanding than this.
So before you go releasing articles, I suggest you do more research from new angles of perception. I have always wondered in the back of my head that they got this wrong: The idea that women with wide hips are not good at running.
I have an extremely large hip to waist ratio and very very wide hips, abnormaly wide, as in the bone structure of them. I am also an extremely good runner, and have competed at a national levels in my younger days. I have never had any knee problems. Not one. Which is something that has been suggested — that female athletes with wider hips may develop knee problems due to the biomechanics. I can also assure you I have put a lot of km into my legs. In addition I have never broken a bone, dispite all the actions and high impact sports I have been involved in.
My brother is the same. He once had his bones scanned. It doesn't necessarily mean you're getting fatter. Most people don't grow any taller after the age of 20, but a recent study published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research found evidence that the pelvis -- the hip bones -- continues to widen in both men and women up to about age 80, long after skeletal growth is supposed to have stopped. While it's hardly news that people find themselves to be wider at 40 and 60 than they were at 20, the extra inches were assumed to come from an increase in body fat , said Dr.
Laurence E. Dahners, a professor of orthopedics at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, and lead author of the study.
Dahners and his researchers stumbled on the "widening" phenomenon while studying the X-rays of patients in an unrelated bursitis study. They decided to investigate further, reviewing the CT scans from randomly selected patients, including about 20 males and 20 females in each year age group from and They measured the distance between the hip joints, the width of the hip joints, the width of the pelvic inlet the birth canal opening that sits in the middle of the pelvis and the height and width of the L4 vertebra, to make sure their patients didn't skew larger and taller to begin with.
Perhaps we just happened to recruit a bunch of old big people and young, small people," Dahners said. The width of the pelvis in the oldest patients was, on average, almost an inch larger than in the youngest patients, which can lead to a 3-inch increase in waist size from age 20 to age 79, and a weight gain of about a pound a year. The finding can offer comfort -- and insight -- to the weight-afflicted.
It's not the dryer.
