Outer side of hips
This is what you have to do about it:
Stand up and grab onto something sturdy. Bend the knee of the support leg and raise the opposite leg to the side. Hold at the top of the movement in order to tighten the outer side of hips. Lower the leg close to the floor and bring it up again.
Breathe in while raising the leg, and breathe out while lowering the leg. Make 3 sets of 20 repetitions on each leg. Instead of making breaks between sets, alternate legs. While one leg is working, the other is resting on the floor. Make sure your back is straight and your abs and butt tightened, to work more muscles at once.
An additional benefit from these leg exercises is that you tighten your abs and keep your back straight all the time.
- The tightening of your abs massages the organs in your abdomen and facilitates bowel movement. If you are suffering from constipation, it will be relieved by these exercises and will most probably disappear after a month.
- When you consciously keep your back straight, you also learn to do it on a subconscious level. Your appearance will improve and you will get pleasure from seeing yourself in the mirror.
Important about saddlebags and outer side of hips
If you have issue with saddlebags you will not do wonders doing the above isolated exercise for outer hips. You need hard exercises for you whole thigh like squat for example. Squat activates your front thigh muscles and needs lots of energy which means you burn more calories and fat.
If you want to lose fat from any body part, than you need to do functional exercises for major muscles – legs, back, chest and buttocks – doing exercises for them burn fat, there is no other way.
