How to Build Stronger Hip Muscles
Strong hip muscles are very important for both men and women. Especially if you are a sportsman, you need really strong hip muscles to support your back. Many players suffer back injuries due to weak hip muscles.
Besides, strong hip muscles make you look beautiful. No matter what you wear, a nice back gives your personality an extra edge. On the other hand, the ladies with feeble hip muscles cannot afford wear beach clothes.
Even if your hips are naturally weak and flabby, there is nothing to worry about. By doing a few very simple exercises, you can change the entire situation within a few weeks.

There is hardly any need to do weight lifting. Only a few simple leg exercises could prove useful. The easiest exercise is lifting the legs to 30 - 45 degrees after lying straight on a flat surface.
Once you lift your legs to a certain degree, you need to stay there for a while, preferably 3-5 seconds. While the legs are in the air, you should try to raise your upper back at least to 15 degrees.
You may find it difficult in the beginning, because the body is stiff. Slowly but surely though, you will actually start finding this exercise quite easy. Repeat this at least 15 times before taking any rest. -

After lying straight, fold your one leg and put the other one on top of it. Now slightly bend forward, making sure that the body is twisting towards the knee of your folded leg. Try to stretch your body as much as possible. Repeat this move 10 times, and do it again with the other leg folded.

Now, it is the time to turn to the side. Raise your one leg to 30 degrees before lifting your upper body to the same level. This will stretch the hip and back muscles. You are supposed to stay in this position for at least 20-30 seconds. Repeat all these exercises twice or thrice a day.
