Complete lots of lower body workouts such as squats, lunges, curtsy lunges, deadlifts, and glute bridges. Train your lower body 2-3 times a week, doing 3-4 sets of 12-15 reps each. Side leg raises, hip raises, and squat kicks are also good options.
Do exercises that target the hips.
Complete lots of lower body workouts such as squats, lunges, curtsy lunges, deadlifts, and glute bridges. Train your lower body 2-3 times a week, doing 3-4 sets of 12-15 reps each. Side leg raises, hip raises, and squat kicks are also good options. The mac-daddy of hip-widening exercises may be the side lunge with dumbbells. This is a beefed-up version of a traditional lunge that allows for more resistance, and therefore, more potential muscle growth and hip width.
Sit on your butt.
You can get bigger hips (and a larger derriere) by simply sitting. According to a study published in the journalCellPhysiology, researchers determined that the pressure placed on the buttocks and hips from too much sitting can generate significant fat build-up in those areas. Cells respond to their environment.
Give birth.
While you certainly wouldn’t get pregnant
for this sole purpose, a woman’s hips will widen to make it possible for her to give birth. In some cases, hips will return to pre-pregnancy size with time, but in other cases, bigger hips become a permanent part of a woman’s physique.
Adjust your posture.
Stand with your back straight, shoulders dropped and back and your weight on one leg, hips thrust out. This creates an S-shaped curve in the body. Place your hands on your hips with thumbs facing forward and fingers pointed back behind you.
