hello
let me start about myself first.
i dont like my hip size

i used to be fat 80++kg with 34~35' waist line in 2006-2007.
then i start play squash almost everyday and runnin to reduce my size. running seriously in 2008-mid 2009, running middistance/quarter marathon, always join those 8k~15k event.
the event i love the most was 1mile dash new year bash drool.gif feel like to vomit at the finish line,very anaerobic . i hit my lowest weight 59.5kg with 29' waist but my hip still quite large. sad.gif

in mid 2009 i shift my focus coz 59kg to thin.....so started bb aiming for 75kg. and stop running. only once in awhile do hiit or go swimming.
i followed rippetoe programme.
in march 2010 did inbody analysis.
result=
68.3kg 170cm
body fat mass 9.1kg
percent body fat 13.3%
waist hip ratio 0.84 sad.gif <------ i want <0.79

now i weight 71.5kg waist 30~31'....my lower body quite big compared to my upper.
doing barbell squat 80kg excluding oly barbell 20kg...leg press 340kg while my incline barbell chest press 44kg only excluding oly barbell 20kg doh.gif ha2

i dont like what i see in the mirror, glute too big compared to my waist n thigh~

Hello.

First off, understand that spot reduction, can happen. However, not in the way we used to believe. Previously, it was about what exercises can help reduce fat in a certain area, but that never seemed to work.
The thousands of crunches somehow didn't turn out to be the magic component to reducing fat.

The human body has been proven to actually be capable of spot reduction, by controlling hormones. Hormones and genetics happen to be the reason why women have bigger hips and males have bigger stomaches, why some men have gynecomastia while some females have a more manly feature, thus it only makes sense to control these fat controlling hormones.

Okay, simple science aside...

The butt/glutes is sort of like a "toxic" marker in the body. The higher the level of toxic in the body, the higher chances of storing fat in these areas. Thus in order to reduce fat in the glutes, is to reduce the level of toxics in the body.

Also certain movements such as cycling, spinning or jogging actually cause you to store MORE fat around the gluteal areas, as a quicker energy source for the body. Just take a look at joggers. Notice how their bodies seem to be very, pear'ish? The increased stress from all the pounding from running, doesn't help either.

It's likely that you'll get better results from a combination of a bilateral and unilateral circuit, lower body weighted exercise with high repetitions and low rest time would work better. Also reduce toxicity levels with clean eating.

It's a lil long to type the whole list. U may as well meet me up for a consultation course. It'd be easier to understand.
