However, by incorporating a targeted workout into your fitness routine, you can improve muscle tone and overall appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s what you need to know about hip dips and whether or not a workout can fix them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Hip_Dips_Be_Fixed_With_Exercise\"><\/span><b>Can Hip Dips Be Fixed With Exercise?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hip dips can&#8217;t be &#8220;fixed&#8221; because they are a natural part of your body shape. The indentations occur due to the shape and placement of your hip bones, which is determined by a few factors:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Genetics: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people are simply more prone to having prominent hip dips due to their genetic skeletal anatomy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Body fat distribution:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The amount and distribution of body fat can also impact the appearance of your hips.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Muscle placement and development: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stronger and more defined muscles in certain areas can create a smoother appearance and potentially reduce the visibility of hip dips.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While exercise can&#8217;t change your bone structure, genetics or tone just one area, it can help with muscle development and fat loss (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/nsca-jscr\/fulltext\/2013\/08000\/regional_fat_changes_induced_by_localized_muscle.23.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), which may improve the look of your hip dips.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a previous blog: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/calisthenics-for-women\/\"><b>Calisthenics for Women<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we discussed how targeted exercises can help tone specific areas of the body.

You can work on improving muscle tone and definition in that area by targeted exercises.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s take a closer look at the anatomy of your hips to understand whether it&#8217;s possible to &#8220;grow&#8221; hip dips.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How noticeable your hip dips are depends on your skeletal structure, particularly:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hip_Width\"><\/span><b>Hip Width<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your hips are naturally wider, the indentations may be less noticeable than someone with narrower hips. This is why many believe that putting on fat around the hips will reduce hip dips, but this is not an effective solution. You have no control over where your body stores fat and so trying to target a specific area is not possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Greater_Trochanter_Size\"><\/span><b>Greater Trochanter Size<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The greater trochanter is a bony prominence on the femur bone, just below your hip joint.
