Wide hips have become popular with celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Beyonce. There are steps you can take to make your hips look wider. Too much body fat anywhere on your body is unhealthy. Remember, being healthy is much more important than looking like a celebrity. Exercising the muscles of your upper body, waist, and lower body, along with a healthy diet, will make you feel good.

Method 1 of 3: Strengthen your muscles

1. Do squats regularly. Squats are a classic exercise for strengthening your hips and core muscles. Include them in your exercise routine for strengthening the muscles around your hips. To start, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
   • Choose a dumbbell weight that you feel is not too heavy for you. If you are just starting out doing squats, then you should probably start with a light weight, something in the 1 to 2.5 pounds range. Talk to a trainer at a gym, or your doctor, to find out what a safe weight is for you.
   • Straighten your back as you tighten your core muscles. Bend your knees to lower your body. Take a quick look at the tip of your shoes when you have reached the bottom of the movement. You must be able to see the tip of your shoes or your knees will have moved too far forward in the squat.
   • Keep bending your knees until your thighs are roughly parallel to the floor. Then you return to the starting position. Repeat this exercise 10 to 12 times.
2. Do lunges. Lunges are another hips and thigh strengthening exercise that can improve the appearance of your hips. Start the lunges with a barbell in each hand. Choose a weight that you can handle. Take a step forward with your left foot.
   • With your left foot forward, bend your knees. Slowly lower yourself to the ground.
   • Use your feet to push yourself back to the starting position. Repeat the exercise with your other foot.
   • Repeat this exercise about 10 to 12 times.
3. Take yoga classes. Yoga consists of several stretches and postures that demand a lot from your core muscles, so it can also be a great way to keep your core strong and your hips look wider. Sign up for yoga classes at a local gym or community center if you want your hips to look stronger and wider.
   • If you can't afford your classes, there are many yoga routines you can find online. You can also buy DVDs. But be careful when doing yoga alone. Work towards the more difficult poses, provided they feel good for your body.
4. Do the plank. The plank is a great way to strengthen your core muscles and get a flatter stomach, which can help make your hips look bigger. Do the plank a few times a week as part of your exercise routine.
   • To do a plank, lie flat on an exercise mat. Keep your elbows under your shoulders and fold your hands together just below your chin.
   • Push yourself up and form a straight bridge with your body from your shoulders to your toes. Support your weight only with your toes and forearms, tightening the muscles of your chest, abdomen, lower back, buttocks, and legs. Hold this position for 10 seconds when you start. Work up to a maximum of three minutes.
5. Do side leg lifts. You can choose to attach ankle weights to your lower leg for this exercise. You can buy these at a gym or sporting goods store, but make sure you start with a lighter weight. Lie on one side. Put your legs together and place your hand on your hip.
   • Raise your top leg to an angle of about 45 degrees to the floor, then lower that leg back down. Repeat this 10 to 12 times. To build muscle mass, do three sets of 10 to 12 reps.
   • When you are done with a series of one leg, switch sides and repeat the exercise with the other leg.
   • As with squats, the amount of weight you can handle depends on your fitness level. It's a good idea to start with light weights. Talk to a doctor or trainer about what weight is safe for you.
   • If you feel like you need more resistance, you can hold a barbell just above your knee while lifting. This is a great way to add resistance without risking damage to your knee.
6. Do strength training for your shoulders. It may seem counterintuitive, but strengthening the muscles in your shoulders will narrow your waist, which in turn can help widen your hips. Do a few simple shoulder exercises, such as the dumbbell overhead press, dumbbell pec flyes, and dumbbell rear flyes, to achieve this effect.

Method 2 of 3: Get rid of belly fat

1. Eat healthy. Belly fat can make your hips appear smaller in proportion. Losing weight can decrease belly fat and make your hips look bigger. To lose weight, the first step is to establish a healthy diet.
   • Your diet should be mainly plant-based. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains should make up the majority of your daily diet. Choose whole grain rice over white rice and whole wheat bread instead of white varieties.
   • Stick to lean types of protein, such as fish and poultry, and low-fat dairy products. For example, opt for salmon instead of steak.
2. Eat less sugar. You can gain weight from sugar, so try to limit it. Sugary drinks may be a major culprit, as many people don't think about calories in the form of drinking.
   • Avoid sugary drinks such as soft drinks, specialty lattes and alcoholic drinks, including cocktails, wine, beer and wine with fruit juice. Drink plenty of water and opt for unsweetened drinks, such as unsweetened iced tea and spring water. You can even flavor water and make other calorie-free drinks like lemon and lime juice.
   • Read labels before purchasing food. Sugar can be found in surprising places, such as in bread, yogurt and pasta sauces. Also note the terms fructose, dextrose and maltose in the ingredients list. These are all names of added sugars.
   • Women can limit themselves to 24 grams of added sugar per day (about six teaspoons). For men, this is 36 grams of sugar (about nine teaspoons).
3. Eat smaller portions. You often consume more calories than you think. Portions, especially when eating out, can be very large. Pay close attention to your portion size.
   • Save dining out for special moments. If you do go out for dinner, share an entrance with a table companion to cut the number of calories in half. If a restaurant has a special menu with fewer calories, order it if necessary.
   • Be aware of how much you should be eating at home. A serving of carbohydrates is about the size of a hockey puck. Thirty grams of dairy is about the size of six dice. A serving of protein does not have to be larger than a deck of cards.
   • Eating slowly can also help. You will feel more full afterwards and be full more quickly.
4. Track your eating habits and progress. It can be helpful to keep track of your eating habits, how much weight you've lost, and every few inches your waist has shrunk. This can help you stay on track and identify which days of the week you are most likely to slip. It can also keep you motivated to keep an active log of your progress that you can review every day.
   • Also, make sure to include other factors that can affect weight loss. For example, pay attention to things like your stress level, your sleep schedule and your daily exercise.

Method 3 of 3: Make your hips bigger with flattering clothing

1. Find ways to make your waist look slimmer. If you want a quick fix, changing clothes can make your hips look bigger. Look for clothes and patterns that slim your waist. This will draw more attention to your hips.
   • Wear a belt around your waist if you already have a narrow waist. This can emphasize your curves, giving you more of an hourglass figure. This can be especially helpful if you are wearing a shapeless dress. If your waist is not narrow, choose a dress with lighter colors at the top and darker colors at the bottom.
   • High-waisted clothing, such as high jeans and skirts, can make your hips look bigger by slimming your waist.
   • In winter, opt for tailored sweaters that emphasize your figure. Don't try to hide your shapes under thick layers of clothing.
   • You can also wear shapewear, such as Spanx, under your clothes for a narrower waist.
2. Choose vertical stripes to create a sleek look. Choose clothes with vertical stripes, especially clothes that run across your waist. Stripes make you slim and can create a slimmer look that gives your hips wider, and flatters your entire figure.
   • Vertical stripes do not suit every body type. For example, if you have a carrot-shaped body, this can have the opposite effect and even make your hips appear narrower.
   • Wear pastels in areas you want to emphasize, such as your hips, and black in areas that you want to slim, such as your waist. For example: a light blue skirt with a black top emphasizes your hips and slims your waist.
3. Buy jeans and pants that follow your shape. If you want to make your hips look bigger, choose tight jeans and pants. Tight jeans and leggings emphasize your figure more than baggy pants. Low jeans can also emphasize your figure more.
   • Wear light-colored pants and jeans. These draw more attention to your hips and make them bigger.
4. Wear a pencil skirt. A pencil skirt is a skirt that falls tightly around the hips, making them look bulkier. Try wearing a pencil skirt to see if it improves the appearance of your hips. Then look for a skirt that fits your body type nicely.
   • If you are slim, choose a cut especially for people with a slim body. A style with a higher waist can also look nice, because it makes you taller.
   • If you have a slim build, look for a pencil skirt that falls naturally to your waist. Details such as zippers and pockets on the hips can also help shape your body.
   • If you naturally have an hourglass figure, most pencil skirts will suit your body type.

Tips

• Do some research on exercises on the internet. Find a program that attracts you and one that you are motivated to follow.
• Above all, strive to be healthy. While it can be fun trying to look like one of your favorite celebrities, wide hips are also fashion sensitive again and that fashion will pass away. Your health should always come first.
• Be consistent, but not impatient. You can change the shape of your hips, but let plenty of exercise and nutrition become a part of your life. It may take a while to notice the results.

Warnings

• If you have never moved a lot and / or have other age-specific or health complaints, ask your doctor for advice before starting a training schedule.
