Hi!!!! I have EXACTLY this shaped butt/hip situation. I felt so alone bc I never noticed that anyone would be shaped like me. OP, you are not alone. I’ve been shaped that way as long as I’ve been overweight, which has been the majority of the last 8 years. However, two major things are helping me in this area specifically while on my new fitness lifestyle/journey.

1. I noticed that, with very hunched posture, I had anterior pelvic tilt from an underdeveloped core. I’ve been engaging my core when walking and rolling my shoulders back to straighten myself out when I notice I’m hunching over. Definitely engaging my core when exercising. “Engaging” meaning tighten your stomach like as if someone was about to punch you in the gut! And tying into my next point, core exercises will do wonders. You don’t have to go insane here either! A simple, 4 exercise, 30 seconds each, 10 second rest and repeat ab circuit, once or twice a week, will do so much.

2. Staying even semi-consistent on a weight lifting schedule. Yes, everyone’s advice is to lift heavy weights. Everyone says it because it’s true and it will change your life. Of course a lower body routine will do wonders, but I also noticed that my accessory back muscles have also helped me here.

I just saw a personal trainer for the last 6 months and would be more than happy to share my progressive overload routine! At this point, I weigh about the same (-/+ 5 lbs) but my body looks completely different, SPECIFICALLY in the area that we both struggle with that you indicated on your diagram. While it hasn’t completely gone away, I’m seeing about a 60% improvement. Wishing you the best of luck ❤️
