Hello Timarie ! . I Love how you target your waistline in a smart way. I´m doing something similar.
BTW Your Thread is one of my favourite and i´ve learnt alot.

My question : what are the best exercises to increase hips muscles ? I´ve got a bigger butt that took me alot of work and sweat (went from 34.5 to 37in) but I look the same from the front. Thanks You ! and happy 2014

Hey Ceci!

It's been a while! Good to hear from you

All I have to say is WOW GIRL you went from 34.5" to 37"? That is so amazing!!! Great work!!! I am so proud of you!!! I bet you feel so sexy now, too! It feels great, right? I'm a total booty addict Get it, girl!!

Anyway, to your question about building those small hip muscles: they are not as easy to build as the gluteus maximus, and usually building the gluteus maximus helps make the appearance of the hips wider... but, it all depends on how you work out your gluteus muscles. Before you do your booty workout, you should try to get some mind-muscle awareness with your "hip muscles." For example, before I run my hill sprints, I do fire hydrant stretches. Before I do my walking lunges, I do either cable abduction exercises or the abduction machine. Whatever your choice, just choose an exercise to work the abductor muscles. This will allow you to work more of your outer gluteus muscles while you continue to work out your butt! That is the best way to get the most bang for your buck.

For more information on exercises to specifically target these muscles, see post #82 of this thread. I hope that helps!

By the way, did the veins on your hands ever improve? Also, I know this is random but, I really like your signature

Haha Timarie your memory is awesome ! I near to solve the mystery of "the veiny hands", I think is related with PM mostly. (more noticeable during follicular phase ) but it is not very bad (like madonna or angelina´s hands ).
Thanks one more time for your help ! Now my bum is 36.5 in because I have been eating healthy lately and the first place where I lose weight is my butt and thights.
Ps: Congratulations on being accepted to that graduate program. You are closer to your dreams now. Australia sounds great ! (btw I like your signatures too )
