While the images of skinny models, super-fit Instagram stars, and size zero actresses continue to gain momentum, a study published in the International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology, and Education points to a different reality for the majority of women. The 2016 study found that the average American woman wears between a Misses size 16-18. This means the majority of women are curvier and have wider hips than the images they see. This is an important message since many women struggle to see and appreciate the power of their body. Read on to learn more about the advantages of wide hips, and ways you can tone your hips and boost your curves. The advantages of wide hips The truth is, it’s healthy for women to have curves, especially since hips have a biological purpose. “Women are built completely different than men, and it’s for a biological purpose,” explains Dr. Heather Bartos, a board-certified OB-GYN. While many women covet a straight, narrow-hipped body, Bartos says those curves, or what we used to call “birthing hips,” actually provide a genetic advantage. In other words, big hips, and this includes the booty, allow for easier passage of a baby. Also, Bartos says that fat distribution in the buttocks area shows that healthy estrogen is present, unlike central obesity in the midsection. Fat around the middle is associated with “bad” estrogen that can cause cardiovascular disease and difficulty with getting pregnant. How to lose hip fat Embracing the body you have and understanding that wide hips are normal and healthy is the first step on your journey. And while the overall structure and shape of your hips can’t be changed, if you would like to accentuate your curves and tone the muscles around your hips, there are healthy and safe ways to do so. Although you can’t spot-reduce fat in just one area of your body, you can trim hip fat by losing overall body fat. You can do this through regular fat-burning exercises, cutting back on calories, and toning your lower body. Let’s look at some of the options. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) HIIT requires you to do all-out, high-intensity exercise in short bursts. The intense bursts of exercise are alternated with short rest periods. The goal of this type of training is to get your heart rate up so you burn calories in half the time of moderate-intensity cardio. HIIT increases the oxygen demands on your body. According to the American Council on Exercise, the more oxygen you consume, the more calories you burn. Another benefit with this type of exercise is that your body continues to burn calories at a faster rate even after you’re done working out. Compound exercises for your lower body Research has shown that resistance training exercises can improve your lean muscle mass. When resistance exercises are combined with a healthier diet, it may help you tone your muscles and lose fat, too. Some examples of resistance exercises for your lower body include: squats
