It’s starting to have problems with my hips, and am now doing exercises to target them, but nit to change their appearance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hip-dips#post-1862877 Thu, 23 Nov 2017 09:33:14 +0000 minimalist 1862877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Sisi said! On women who have them, to me it looks like just another variation on curves. </p> <p>BC, if you want to get really technical, a hip dip is anatomically known as the "trochanteric depression." </p> <p>When a hip dip indicates underdeveloped gluteus medius, it's worth considering exercises to strengthen those muscles. (Not for optical reasons!) The gluteus medius is integral to hip function, controls pelvic sway, is involved with leg movements like moving leg out to side, and aids in stabilizing the femoral head in the hip socket. </p> <p>Here are some exercises targeting them:<br /> <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N0x1YHcmblI" rel="nofollow">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N0x1YHcmblI</a><br /> Strengthening relevant muscles is NOT guaranteed to reduce hip dips visually! That depends largely on skeletal anatomy. </p> <p>I don't see any reason to make clothing choices to minimize a perfectly lovely body feature. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hip-dips#post-1862537 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 05:20:14 +0000 MsGreer 1862537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kitty Cat </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hip-dips#post-1862432 Tue, 21 Nov 2017 21:19:16 +0000 The Cat 1862432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, Style Fan, Kari and BC, thank you. :-)</p> <p>And thanks to you, BC, for sharing the article.

I used to think I just had a lot of excess fat in my hips, but even at my slimmest (when I was having severe digestive issues and was quite underweight), I still had clear "shelf" hips...so I knew it was my skeletal structure. I was relieved to find out that this is a real body shape. But it's not talked about too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hip-dips#post-1862189 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 22:49:26 +0000 Angie 1862189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAHAH.
