Level Up Your Workout!



If you’re not a beginner you can level up your workout for even better and faster results. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Do more repetitions for each exercise. Start with 20 reps, then gradually increase them up to 30.
  2. Increase the number of sets. Instead of 3 sets, aim for at least 5 sets per day.
  3. Don’t get crazy about this workout! Performing it 5 times per week is more than sufficient.
  4. Add some weights to each exercise. You can hold 2 dumbbells or a kettlebell in your hands when performing squats and lunges. Also, ankle weights are a great option for donkey kicks, leg raises and lunges.
As you can see, there is enough room for improvement. Just make sure you gradually increase the weight, sets, or repetitions. Don’t jump straight to the hardest variation because you might hurt yourself and all the progress will be lost.
Again, let’s clarify one thing: HIP DIPS ARE NORMAL! You don’t have to be ashamed of it. But if you really want to reduce your violin hips and fill out your hip dips, then this workout is your best option!

What Causes Hip Dips?

Image
The indentation which we call hip dents actually is known as the ‘trochanteric depression’ in anatomical terminology. Hip dips come about because of the shape of your pelvis. If you have very visible violin hips, you’re not a freak, and it’s  not  a deformity.  Photo Credit  Colin Rose  via  Wikimedia Commons   This shape usually is caused by having ‘high hips’, for example if your pelvis sits up high and is quite wide, it can mean there is a bit of a dip between your hip bones and where your thigh bone (femur) starts. As I dug deeper through the bowels of the internet, more research uncovered more names – violin hips is a common way to describe hip dips. It’s a common feature that plastic surgeons sometimes deal with (the solution is to graft fat into the area of the dent to try and round out the shape). One thing that I did find funny was that a few people mentioned that they always thought this affliction could have been from wear...
