what to do

IF YOU want to slim your hips, invest in a hula hoop, says personal trainer Nadya Fairweather ( u-shape.com). These are a great warm-up tool and engage your core and glutes. Go for a slightly weighted ‘fitness’ hoop.

Circle the hoop above your bottom and hip bones. Keep the tummy drawn in. Relax the upper body, keeping the shoulders down and knees soft, with feet apart. The faster you move your hips the easier it is to hold the hoop up. Try to do this for 15 minutes.
