Say Goodbye to Hip Dips: The Ultimate Workout Guide
Share
Hip dips, also known as viola hips, can be a source of insecurity for many women. These indentations on the sides of the hips, just above the thigh, are a natural occurrence in some people and are caused by the shape of the pelvic bone. However, that doesn't mean they can't be improved with the right workout routine.
First, it's important to understand that spot reduction is not possible. This means that targeting one specific area of the body with exercises will not burn fat in that area alone. However, by building muscle and burning overall body fat, the appearance of hip dips can be minimized.
The following exercises, when done consistently and with proper form, can help to improve the appearance of hip dips:
Squats: This classic exercise works the glutes, quads, and hamstrings. To target the hips, make sure to keep your weight in your heels and push your hips back as you squat down. Aim for 4 sets of 15 reps.
Leg Raises: This exercise works the hip flexors and glutes. Lie on your side and lift your leg up towards the ceiling. Keep your abs tight and avoid swinging your leg. Aim for 4 sets of 12 reps on each side.
Knee Squats: This variation of squats targets the inner thighs. Start in a squat position and bring your knees together as you stand up. Make sure to keep your weight in your heels and avoid letting your knees cave in. Aim for 4 sets of 16 reps.
Side Kicks: This exercise works the outer thighs and glutes. Start in a lunge position and kick your back leg out to the side. Keep your abs tight and your front knee over your ankle. Aim for 4 sets of 18 reps on each side.
It's important to note that in addition to these exercises, a healthy diet and overall active lifestyle will also play a role in reducing the appearance of hip dips. Remember to also incorporate cardio and stretching into your routine.
Consistency is key when it comes to seeing results. Incorporate these exercises into your workout routine and stick to them. You'll be on your way to saying goodbye to hip dips in no time!
