If you are a grown woman, your hip bones aren't going to get bigger.  If you want a bigger butt or thighs, you can try to gaining weight(fat or muscle) or you can get implants from the plastic surgeon.  Unfortunately, they don't make miracle grow for your bones.

I am naturally bigger in the legs, butt and hips.  I took up walking about a year ago and was able to lose a lot of my hips and my legs got a lot smaller.  I can say that it was the walking that did it because I quit walking and my hips came back and my legs got bigger.  That is the best thing I have found to help thin my legs out.

Exercise For hips - 1: Lay on your back on a carpeted floor with your hands behind your head. Put your feet on a bench or chair such that upper legs make a 90 degree angle. Lift your upper back off of the ground and contract your abdominal part.\nExercise For hips - 2: Lay on your back on a flat surface on a floor mat with your hands on sides of your back. Move your legs as if you are cycling. Do it for 5 minutes daily.\nFollow a negative calorie food diet.\nEat plenty of fruits, vegetables, wholegrain bread, pasta, rice, beans and cereal without any oily toppings. Choose low fat or fat free varieties.\nFlax seed oil and Evening Primrose Oil are considered to be as fat burning supplements. The effect of PGE1 is to force fat to be used as fuel.

To get your legs bigger do : squats, dead lift, leg lift, a few minutes of wall sits (where you sit against the wall with your thigh at a 90 deg angle to the wall) a day, and lots of running. This should do it, and also should eliminate that belly. But remember to drink alot of water in this process!\nGood luck!

It's called Plyometrics! Or you can go to a sand court or something, and jump, and jump! lol Do a lot of stairmaster type stuff, it will really build up your calfes. Then focus on your CORE!!! Abbs, obliques, ect. the whole stomache area. Really get it strong, and your hig flexers! Hope that helps

Good for you for looking for simple bodyweight exercises - they're the  best ones for you from top to bottom.  \n\nI'd do flutter kicks.  Lay on your back and lift your feet up to 6-8" above the ground.  Then start kicking your legs up and down, keeping them straight, but never letting them touch the ground.  Do as many as you can.  This will work the lower abs and also your hip flexor muscles.  \n\nYou can also do Hello Dollys - they start similarly to flutter kicks but instead of kicking them up and down, you move your legs out to the side and back to center, always keeping them 6-8" off the ground.  Again, do as many as ou can.  \n\nMix the two together for best results. \n\nSince you're interested in bodyweight workouts, I've included a link to the best bodyweight exercise system I've ever seen.

You're in the exact same boat as me. I'm very pear shaped and my thighs and butt are my problem.  I still find that spefically strengthening my core in general is working. The trick is to do very high reps with LOW weights. A girl with big thighs does not want to do high weight and low reps.  They recommend the highest amount of weight you can do but still complete 3 sets of 15 reps. If you can't complete that many, reduce your weight.

It may be impossible. Genetics pretty much overcome our best endeavors.  For example, I carry my weight in my hips.  No matter how thin I became, or how hard I worked out, my hips were still larger than the rest of my body. Don't give up, but don't kill yourself trying to change.  You'll never find an "apple" shaped man worrying about his shape.\nAct feminine, wear feminine clothing, carry yourself with respect.  Believe me, the guys will notice!

try exercises that concentrate on the muscles of the sides.  like stand with arms to sides, weights in hands, bend over to right then to left, repeat, repeat, repeat.  also, twist/rotate at waist.  if you can feel the "pull" at the sides muscles you're toning them.  hope you make it!  I'm pullin' for ya!

Try lemon juice. Simple and effective, not to mention a bliss on the hips.

Leg lifts, outer and inner.  (outer) Lay on your side, rest your head on your hand and keep your legs straight. (your bottom leg can stay bent slightly for stability). Lift the top leg to hip height and lower, repeat. Don't let your leg rest when it comes down; you want to keep the muscles contracted. Do as many as you feel comfortable with and roll over to switch sides and repeat.\n(inner) Lay in the same position, but move your top leg to the front bending at the knee. Lift your lower leg up and down and do not let it rest on the floor. It's a good idea to contract your abdominal muscles while you do these, so your back is supported.

get on your fours and raise your leg up as high as you can, keeping your foot flat. do each side about 15-20 times a day until you can increase your time.

Just go in up to your hips and do it quickly.   Or you could have someone burry you in the sand (up to your waist would be fine) and do it.

Restrict your caloric intake and do aquatic exercise. You can swim, or check with your local YMCA and health clubs to see if they offer aquatic exercise classes. You can move so much easier in the water than on dry land because of the bouyancy of the water. In waist deep water you're only carrying 50% of your weight, at chest deep it's 25% and neck deep is 10%, that will decrease the pain in your hips from the OA, allowing you to do more. Good luck!

The following exercises will help tone that area, but you have to add cardio depending on your body type at least 30 minutes every other day.  Try kickbacks, get on all four, draw abs in, bend knee with thigh parallel to floor and extend foot to ceiling, contract and release (do 3 sets of 10).  Next do deep squats keeping back straight, making sure knees doesn't extend past toes, when coming to standing position tighten buttocks and repeat for 3 sets of 10.  Last, lay on back, bend knees with feet on floor, arms extend at sides, and slowly roll hips up off floor keeping shoulders on floor contract buttocks and slow return to start (2 sets of 10).  You will feel it and it works.
