Okay so I am really athletic and I play soccer on a higher type of team and I always have practice and we have to do things like run 5 laps, and sprints.. things like that. So anyways, my hips are so large! my hipbones like stick out so much. I would think that exercise like that would make them thinner but no they are just the same. Please help on how to make them smaller, I RATE 5'S TO ALL!!
It sounds to me like you have lordosis or swayback. When you are involved in a high empact sport like your are this can cause a type of curvature of the spine such as lordosis. This means you would have an antierior tilt of your pelvis. When this happens no matter how hard you work out you will not be able to slim down in your lower extremities because your psoas muscles are contracting. You need to stretch them out and get your posture back in line. I have included two websites below. The first one is some exercises. The ones I want you to work on are the pelvis exercises and the psoas exercise. The psoas exercise is at the bottom of the page. Do at least 10 repetisions of each at least once a day or more if you have time. It's ashame that coaches don't incororate stretching exercises in with their workouts so that perminant damage to the young growing bones does not occur, but they don't. There are hundreds of thousands of adults out there who have lower back pain that can be traced back to the high impact sport they participated in when they were young. Gymnasts are real succeptable to this too all that bending and contorting. If you get yourself into the habit of stretching yourself out after each workout you can keep this from happening to you and correct the damage that may have already occured. Good luck!
