Q&A for How to Make Your Hips Wider

Many exercises work, but squats and lunges have the fastest and largest impact on the hips.

Yes! The most efficient one is doing squats. The whole weight of body gets shifted towards the lower part of body, which helps to strengthen the muscles on and around hips.

Not at all! In fact, if you're mainly doing (for instance) squats, the reward is a more toned body and bigger hips and glutes.

Wait patiently. The tree doesn't grow in just a day! But, you'll definitely start noticing changes after about 2-3 weeks, considering you are eating a healthy diet and doing the exercises regularly!

Squats help to increase muscle mass in areas like the butt and hips and therefore enlarge both.

In all honesty, it depends on your weight distribution. If you're anything like me, any weight gain from food like carbs goes straight to my stomach, and has the opposite effect of the one desired. If, however, if you are lucky enough to gain most weight around the hips, dairy products and carbs are a great way to increase hip size.

If they fit tight, then they can actually squeeze the hips and make them look smaller.

Yoga pants are flattering on the hips - but it's more of a personal preference. You might pull leggings up to make them high-waisted, to shape you more. High-waisted jeans look nice as well.

You can do squats, and eat foods that go to your hips, like breads and other carbs. Also, if you are young, your hips will fill out in time.

Try dresses that are tighter at the top and looser at the bottom (bellybutton level and below).

There is not an average age, puberty works differently for everyone, and every body is different.

You can as long as it doesn't change your sleep routine. Some people are affected by doing exercise before bed.

No one is shapeless: you just haven't found your body type yet, or you could be a mixture of two different body types. Try wearing clothes that accent your best features, such as denim shorts if you have really nice legs.

No! Estrogen actually increases your waist to hip ratio while increasing bust size. They go hand in hand.

If you are a person who carries their weight in their hips, your hips will be bigger or smaller as you gain or lose weight. If you carry your weight elsewhere, you may not see much of a difference in your hips regardless of your weight.

There are doctors who are willing to inject fat into your hips to give them the widened appearance, but it's not really a good idea. Because what they're injecting is fat, there is a possibility of you burning it off or shifting to another part of the body. There is no way to control fat. Hip-targeting exercise is a better option.

Squats are the best exercise for building muscle in the hip area. You can also tighten the hips by squeezing your buttocks together while counting to 10. Do this for several repetitions a day to get results.

Squats are a great start. Try 3 sets of 10 to get started and adjust to your body's needs.

You always have hips, but they usually get more curvy once you hit puberty, which can be anywhere between 12-15.

Carbs can add to your weight and/or fat, since our bodies store them for energy. But depending on your daily activity and natural weight distribution, they may or may not have an effect on your hips.

Massaging your breasts can make them appear larger, but breast growth and size is determined by genetics and there's not much you can do about it.

You're young! You will hit puberty and grow hips, don't worry. Try to eat healthy and get daily exercise so that you're body will be healthy and strong. The rest will take care of itself.

Dairy products like yogurt, cheese and even milk, fenugreek seeds, plums, apples, cucumbers, sage, clover, kidney beans, chickpeas, lentils, soy, strawberries, almonds, barley, wheat and many more on the list! You must also search for foods rich in phytoestrogen!

Of course it isn't! Age is just a number. If you work out and take the time to work your glutes and abs, you'll have bigger hips in no time! You can also do things like taking walks or swimming.

While there are creams claiming to enhance hips, it is really exercise that is more likely to make hips wider. Do squats regularly and weight gaining exercises. Also, your genetics definitely play a role.

Have your hips a little more than shoulder width apart. Have your arms out in front of you and keep your upper body straight as you go up and down. Go down far enough that it feels like sitting on your dining room chair or your couch.

As young as 13, I would say. A girl's hips don't really start to show until the early teen years.

Wait until you're older. You're still an adolescent and your body is changing as you age. Once you're past that age, you can do exercises that will target the hips (like squats) and let the muscles around your hips grow.

Dairy products and carbs work well, in my experience, but different foods can work for different people. Try various foods and see what works best for you and your body.

There are a lot of creams that claim to work, but they will not do anything for the most part. Exercise targeting the hip area is the most effective way to widen your hips and make your butt bigger.
