Many people struggle with keeping their hips the same shape all the time. Hip fat along with thigh fat may be the hardest areas to work on a human body.
There is a reason why people hate leg day so much. And if you want to keep your hips in shape and lose the extra fat, you have no choice but to work on the lower body moments, which means not skipping leg days. While you cannot reduce fat only on certain parts, some simple lower body exercise can help with hip fat along with things and all the lower body parts. So we made a list of some simple exercises you can try to work on your hip fat along with other lower body parts.
Simple exercises to try for hip fat at home:
Squats
Squats are one of the best simple exercises for the lower body. It can be hard to squat if you are a beginner but once you get used to it, you can try even more things while squatting. For a basic squat form you need to:
● Stand straight and keep your feet wider than your shoulder’s width
● Then simply squat with your arms before your chest
● Beginners can squat by leaning down a bit. Intermediates and advanced levels can squat until the knees
There are also other forms of squats like jumping squats. For jumping, you need to squat and instead of just standing after a squat, you need to jump and go back again to squatting. This can be hard for everyone except experts and advanced levels.
You can repeat the squat for at least 10 to 15 reps to get started.
Side lunges
Side lunges are one of the exercises for hip fat reduction. It works more on the other thighs and hip areas so if those are the primary spots you want to lose fat on, you should try it. It is pretty simple and just like normal lunges.
To start side lunge you need to:
● Stand straight and keep your feet wider than your shoulder’s width
● Instead of stepping forward to do the lunges, you will be stepping sideways
● When you are stepping on the right side, lower your body to the left side (sideways)
● And the repeat the thing while stepping on the left side
● Keep your arms close to your chest
You can do this simple exercise every day combined with squats. You can set a timer for at least 4 minutes and do this move for 2 minutes on each side.
Side-lying leg raise
Side-lying leg raises may seem like an easy exercise to do but when you do it, your legs and hips start to burn (in a good way). It is a good thing because you do need to burn the fat, right? It is also pretty easy to do. To do side-lying leg raises:
● Lay on the floor facing any side (either right or left)
● You can support your head by keeping the lower hand in the face. Keep the top arm before your stomach
● Start raising the top leg as high as you can and don’t forget to make sure your raising leg’s toes are pointed forward
● Then slowly lower your leg and repeat the process
This exercise focuses a lot more on the hips and inner thighs than most moves. You can do this at least 10 times on each side.
