With Strength Training And Aerobics, Can I Make My Hips Smaller Or Am I Just Reducing The Size Of My Thighs And Do My Hips Stay The Same?

Pilates is a form of exercise that appears to be particularly suited to targeting specific areas of the body. If this is the case, you might consult a trainer or explore some pilates sites and/or DVDs to see what might work best for you.
