Smaller Hips? Exercise Your Butt Off With This Buttocks Exercise

Posted on by

Okay so you want smaller hips but don’t know what exercise to do.  This hips exercise will make sure that you get a tighter more tone butt than ever.  I always suggest that women to some type of buttocks exercise whether it be sprinting, walking, or running stairs, just anything other than setting on their butts.

Smaller Hips and Sexier Butt

Just because you want smaller hips doesn’t mean you want to lose your butt.  If you are looking to improve your butt try this great butt exercise workout.

If you want smaller hips and want to exercise your rear end to get the best butt possible than this is the post for you.  In this post we will go over another exercise that will help you in your journey to toning that old butt of yours into a new smaller more rounded bum!

Buttocks Exercise Without A Stupid Machine or Gimmick

The answer to ridding yourself of the butt that you don’t want and getting one that is perfect is not from using some expensive machine at the gym or one that is on sale on HSN.  In fact one of the best hips and buttocks exercise is one that you can use just your bodyweight or some handy free weights.

This exercise is known as the single-leg Romanian Deadlift.  It is a great exercise not only for toning and slimming your butt but also the back of your thighs.  You will also be working other muscles throughout each leg since this exercise requires you to only focus on one leg at a time every muscle in the leg gets worked even the ankle.

Smaller Hips

“Some women want a bigger butt while others want a smaller one. The key to a nice overall body is making sure everything fits together nothing over shadowing anything else.

How to Properly Do A Romanian Deadlift:

Stand straight up, looking in front of you and balance on your left leg, while your right leg is slightly bent behind you.

Make sure that you maintain a small bend at the knees while doing this exercise.

Slowly bend over to touch the floor while simultaneously pushing the butt and hips back making sure you are keeping a flat (not rounded) back.

While in the bent position, focus on squeezing your hips and butt muscles as hard as you can as you reverse your movement and bring yourself back up all while still maintaining a flat back.

This would be considered one repetition for your left leg.  You need to do 6-10 repetitions for each leg for 2-4 sets.  You can mix this in with your sprints or jump rope routine or simply do this while at home. For this exercise balance and squeezing the buttocks and stabilizing the core are key and after a few sets you will be feeling it a lot in both the butt and back of your thighs.

NOTE: Not every one is looking for smaller hips or thighs, however for those who are this exercise combined with sprinting or running stairs would be great.  There are a few buttocks exercises out there and I will be sure to post more in the future.

Are Your Thighs Fat? – What to do if they are

Posted on by

Isn’t it amazing how your thighs fat will willingly expand but seems to never want to shrink?  Well if you feel that your thighs are consistently getting bigger while the rest of your body is getting smaller then you are not alone. 

So many women including my wife seem to focus on trying to “work” their thighs to a smaller size.  The problem is working your thighs only does two things: tone the muscles or build muscle size.  Your thighs fat problem is an issue we will carefully discuss in this post.

“Another great photo that has nothing to do with this post but I know how many women who wear wraps around their thighs because of cellulite or because they are simply just not happy with their thighs.  Enjoy life and don’t let your thighs determine who you are or what you do!”

The Facts

Let’s face it we have fat all over our bodies and excess fat will build up on your back, arms, stomach and yes even your thighs.  In today’s world everyone leads a very busy and hectic lifestyle and let’s face it losing weight alone is very hard.  The older we get the less exercise we tend to want to do or rather the less physical activity that is going to cause us to break a sweat. 

We you have to understand Is that it took months if not years to get your thighs to the size that they are and if you are not happy with your body it’s going to take time and effort to get the thighs to the way you want them.

Since women naturally store more fat in their hips and thighs area eating excessive calories and not exercising or being active only causes the problem of fat thighs to get worse.  Getting the leaner slimmer thighs is going to mean getting that extra layer of fat to come off which can only be done by lowering your overall body fat content.

Exercises for Thigh Fat Loss

I have heard so many women discussing which exercises they have or are doing for fat loss in their thighs.  Up to this point I know of no exercises that will work the fat off any particular area of the body.  Thigh fat is no different from the fat that is everywhere else on your body, it “CAN’T BE SPOT REDUCED.”  

As much as women would love to think that they can just walk in the gym and to thigh exercises and the fat will magically disappear it just will never happen.  What will happen instead is that you will spend countless hours and days in the gym to only become discouraged from working out all together.

80% is What You Eat

Just as weight gain comes for eating too much it is proven that majority of a person’s weight loss comes from about 80% or more of what a person eats.  Exercises don’t make you gain weight or really lose weight for that matter but is just an extra tool to in the fight.  The real focus needs to be on what and how much you eat.  If you are gaining weight it simply means you are eating too much and calories are being stored as fat all over your body including those thighs.

“There’s no secret that dieting and exercise are the key to fat loss.  However, exercising and thinking that you will lose weight even if you don’t make changes in your eating habits usually ends up in you becoming discourage.  You simply just can’t exercise enough to burn all the calories you eat.”

What Should You Do?

In most cases I have found that by simply reducing your calorie intake, walking, and working out usually cures the problem.  I know it just sounds too simple and generic that it can’t be the truth but it is.  When I say reduce your calorie intake I am not saying to simply skip a meal or anything but rather if you consistently eat 2000 calories per day try going down to 1750 per day.  Do this for a week and see if the weight loss is occurs.  If not drop your calorie intake down to 1600 and so on, the fact is your body needs less calories than you think it does.

Walking and exercise will give you that extra push you need to get over the hump.  Since you are not going to get your calorie intake measured exactly right the extra calories you burn from exercising will help create a calorie deficit causing your body to burn fat a fuel.

How Long Does It Take

Sadly there is not a time table anyone can give you as to how long it will take to lose the fat in your thighs.  The fact is your body chooses where stored fat will be pulled from to use as fuel.  What you are in control of is how much of a deficit you can create to proper diet and exercise so really how long it takes is up to you and how much weight you need to loss.

For someone who has 25 or more pounds they may see results faster simply because they have more weight to lose than say someone who only has 15lbs.  Remember your thighs fat is the same is the fat all over your body and losing it will only come from creating a calorie deficit.  There are exercises to help tone the thighs but again they have NOTHING to do with the fat loss in that area.

The Best Bum Exercises

These are Really the Best Bum Exercises

Women are always searching for the best bum exercises to help lift or firm their butts. While there are a lot of exercises that claim to do the job there are only a few that actually help you obtain what you are looking for. If you are looking for the best butt exercises than you have to the right place.

I just stumbled across a good article about bum exercises. This is a good primer on the topic and the author does a great job giving you a good overview on the subject. My belief is that this article will be worth your time. Anyways, I cut and pasted it below.

Hip Exercises

By Christopher Heffron

The hip muscles are some of the most used muscles in the human body. We take them for granted in most cases. Walking, running, jogging, getting up to flick the channel on your TV would all be impossible things to do without your hip muscles. When they’re in shape, the hip muscle also looks great.

If you want to develop this crucial area of the human body, there are several ways to do it. Walking alone helps develop lean hip muscles. Walking for an hour a day can go a long way to building hip muscle and strengthening your entire body.

Lunge

The lunge is one of the best hip exercises known to humankind. It’s relatively easy to do and you can do it most anywhere. Simply stand with your feet together, take a step and bend over as if you were about to propose marriage to a lady. Hold that position for a few seconds, straighten and bring your foot back to the starting position. Now repeat.

Once your body becomes accustomed to this exercise, add a hand weight in each hand. This will increase the tension on the hip and leg muscles, and ensure that you continue to get stronger.

Squat

The squat is one of those amazing hip exercises that not only work your hip, but several places of your body at the same time. Serious weight lifters practice the squat on a regular basis. If you want a hip exercise that strengthens your core area as well as your hips, you need look no further than the squat.

Leg Raises

Leg raises are one of the best known hip exercises. Simply lie on your side and raise your leg in the air. It’s that simple! Do a set of ten and then switch legs. Leg raises can be performed most anywhere. Many people do them as soon as they wake up, and some do it after a long days work. They’re easy to do, and can help strengthen the hip muscles immeasurably.

Leg Press

In order to do the leg press, you’re going to need some equipment. Basically, the leg press is a machine that allows you to lie in a horizontal position, while you press a weight with your legs. While it is a great hip exercise, it lacks the do-it-anywhere appeal that the other hip exercises have. However, if you already go to the gym, or fancy going in the future, the leg press is a great exercise to fit into your routine.

Your lower body, and particularly your hip area, are important for mobility. Keep those muscles in shape with these incredible hip exercises!

Sick and tired of your fat hips? If so, I’d highly recommend checking out this solution, which allowed me to lose inches from my hips extremely fast, and now I don’t have to put up with so many tough hip exercises anymore.
