1. Aerobics Exercise
While great for weight loss overall,
this form of exercise like stairs climbing requires a particular group of
muscles to go on overdrive, primarily, the glutes and hip muscles. Have you
tried to intensify the workout by taking two steps at a time? You are
activating an even larger portion of those muscles
2. Walk or Jog on Treadmill
Running is a great cardio workout, no
doubt. In general, they also target your butt and hips. Using a treadmill
recruits the highest amount of your hip and butt muscles – almost 50% on
incline.
3. Spin Class
Spin classes help to burn a lot of
calories while toning your hips. It is a great way to strengthen and tone your
hips, butt and thighs. However, be mindful of increasing resistance. If you sit
farther back on the bike seat and push down hard on those pedals, you’d be
targeting growth on your hips.
4. Too Much Protein
Drinking protein shakes along with
protein rich foods can cause irregular growth in your hips and buttock regions.
Skim milk, yogurt, chicken, egg whites, tuna, whey and soy protein are all
detrimental if consumed over moderation.
5. Juice Bar
Eating processed and sugar-loaded
post-workout beverages are probably a major culprit for the weight gain. Choose
mineral water, or unsweetened coconut water to quench your thirst instead.
