I've just one question: can anyone give me advice on how to shrink th size of my hips? I know you can't spot-reduce... I tried a few exercises for your hps but they made me bigger (for a while I couldn't fit into my hip-hugger pants,lol). Would just all-around strength training and cardio work?

Yes, strength training and cardio will work, but you also need to take a look at your diet and possibly clean it up. Use fitbuddy at the bottom of the page, there have been tons of posts on this. One fairly recently that has great information in it from Menace3000 Good luck, Leslie

It really depends on your current size measurements whether that's a good or bad thing really. Cardio will probably be your best bet coupled with a restrictive, but sensible diet. Here is the link to another hips post. http://www.freetrainers.com/FT/jsp/Message.jsp?f_ix=7&t_ix=1015 There was another post about a girl doing too many eliptical and stair climbers and losing her hip width. She basically built up her glutes, and did cardio at the same time lowering her bodyfat, so therefore she lost her flared hips in the process. she acquired a SKINNY shelf butt, but wanted a flared GHETTO butt. http://www.freetrainers.com/FT/jsp/Message.jsp?f_ix=7&t_ix=1017 good luck and welcome to the forum.
