Squats

 

Squats are a fundamental exercise to target the lower body, including the hips. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, keeping the chest up and the core engaged. Lower your body as if sitting back into a chair, ensuring your knees don't extend beyond your toes. Press back up through your heels. Start with bodyweight squats, then progress by adding weights as you become proficient.

Lunges

 

Lunges effectively work on the hip area by engaging multiple muscles. Start by standing tall, then step forward with one leg, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at a 90-degree angle. Ensure your front knee is directly above the ankle. Push back to the starting position. Alternate legs and consider holding dumbbells for added intensity.

Hip Bridges

 

Hip bridges are excellent for targeting the glutes and hips. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. Engage your core, push through your heels, and lift your hips towards the ceiling, creating a straight line from knees to shoulders. Hold the position for a few seconds before lowering your hips back down.

Side Leg Lifts

 

Target your outer hips with side leg lifts. Lie on one side, keeping your body straight. Support your head with one hand and place the other in front of you for stability. Lift your top leg as high as you comfortably can, then slowly lower it back down. Repeat for the desired number of reps before switching sides.

Clamshells

 

Clamshells are effective for working the hip abductors. Lie on your side, bend your knees, and stack your legs. Keeping your feet together, lift your top knee as high as possible, then slowly return to the starting position. Use a resistance band around your knees for added difficulty.

Mountain Climbers

 

Mountain climbers are a dynamic exercise that also engages the hips. Start in a plank position with hands directly under shoulders. Keeping your core engaged, drive one knee towards your chest, then quickly alternate legs in a running motion. Maintain a steady pace while keeping your hips level.

Step-Ups

 

Step-ups are great for building strength in the hips. Use a bench or sturdy platform. Step up with one foot, press through the heel, and bring the other foot up to meet it. Step down with the same foot, keeping the movement controlled. Switch the leading leg for balanced development. Consider holding weights for extra resistance.

Fire Hydrants

 

Fire hydrants work the hip abductors and glutes. Begin on all fours with wrists under shoulders and knees under hips. Keeping the knee bent, lift one leg out to the side to hip height, then lower it back down. Perform the exercise on both sides, ensuring the hips remain stable throughout the movement.

High Knees

 

High knees are an effective plyometric exercise to burn fat, including in the hips area. Stand tall, and rapidly alternate lifting your knees towards the chest as high as possible, keeping a fast-paced rhythm. Engage your core throughout to maximize effectiveness and improve cardiovascular fitness.

Donkey Kicks

 

Donkey kicks are beneficial for sculpting the hips and glutes. Start on all fours, brace your core, and lift one leg upwards with the knee bent. Focus on squeezing the glutes at the top of the movement before lowering back down. Repeat on both sides and consider using ankle weights for increased resistance.

Premium Medication you can trust

Our weight loss medication is delivered straight to your doorstep from a state-licensed pharmacy within our reliable network, ensuring you receive your medication when you need it.

Each pharmacy in our network undergoes rigorous third-party testing through FDA and DEA certified labs. These tests focus on four key elements, ensuring both safety and efficacy for our treatments.

How to Combine Exercises for Losing Hips Fat

 

Squats and Lunges

 

  • Combine Squats and Lunges to maximize lower body engagement. Begin with a set of squats to activate your quads and glutes, immediately followed by lunges to add dynamic movement and recruit stabilizing muscles. This combination enhances muscle endurance and coordination.

 

Hip Bridges and Donkey Kicks

 

  • Pair Hip Bridges with Donkey Kicks for targeted glute work. Start with hip bridges to activate your posterior chain, then transition into donkey kicks to focus on glute isolation while maintaining the core engagement learned in bridges.

 

Side Leg Lifts and Clamshells

 

  • Integrate Side Leg Lifts and Clamshells to strengthen the hip abductors. Perform side leg lifts to engage outer hip muscles followed by clamshells to target deeper hip stabilizers, ensuring comprehensive lateral conditioning.

 

Mountain Climbers and High Knees

 

  • Combine Mountain Climbers with High Knees for a high-intensity cardio segment. Begin with mountain climbers to elevate heart rate and core activation, then transition to high knees to maintain intensity while focusing on hip flexor muscle recruitment.

 

Step-Ups and Fire Hydrants

 

  • Use Step-Ups and Fire Hydrants to improve strength and mobility. Start with step-ups to work on hip and leg strength, then proceed with fire hydrants to add lateral hip mobility while keeping the core engaged.

Got questions? We have answers.

Do your plans include prescriptions and medications?

Curex plans cover everything from reviewing your medical intake to providing prescription medications, with free shipping included. There are no extra or hidden charges. Prescriptions are issued only after a medical provider reviews your information to confirm that the medication is suitable for you. Our service includes continuous support and regular follow-ups to ensure your treatment stays on track.

Our clinicians may order labs and additional medications for you, which would not be covered by the plan but for which you can use your insurance.

Please note: Compounded medications are tailored to individual needs or used in case of shortages, but they are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is required. Results may vary from person to person.

What medications do your providers prescribe?

We prioritize a personalized approach to your health. If your medical provider prescribes medication, options may include GLP-1 treatments such as compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy®* and Ozempic®*). Our providers prescribe only combination treatments not available at your local pharmacy that may include vitamin B12, etc. to help you achieve your goals faster.

Depending on your treatment goals, other medications such as metformin may also be considered. We recognize the importance of managing side effects, so your care plan might include medication to ease symptoms like nausea. Your well-being is always our top priority!

Please note that compounded medications are customized to meet individual patient needs and are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is necessary. Results may vary from person to person.

Curex and its pharmacy partners do not have any association with Novo Nordisk.

Will I be prescribed semaglutide if I sign up?

Your health journey is unique, and we tailor our care to match. Any prescriptions, including semaglutide, will be based on the expert assessment of the medical provider matched with you through our platform. You can trust that your treatment plan will be personalized to fit your specific needs. And if semaglutide is not prescribed, we will provide a full refund.

What is compounded medication?

Compounding involves creating customized medications to meet the specific needs of individual patients. For instance, a patient may require a liquid version of a medication that is only available in tablet form. Pharmacies can also compound medications using FDA-approved drugs that are on the FDA’s shortage list.

These compounded medications are made by state-licensed pharmacies that follow both federal and state regulations, including quality standards. However, when compounded in accordance with these laws, these medications are not subject to FDA approval and are not evaluated for safety or effectiveness.

Is compounded medication the same as generic medication?

Compounded medications differ from generic drugs. Generics require FDA approval by demonstrating bio-equivalence to the brand-name drug. In contrast, compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are made based on a personalized prescription that may not be commercially available elsewhere or when a drug appears on the FDA’s shortage list. Compounding pharmacies must have the proper licensed facilities and comply with state and federal regulations before dispensing these medications.

Is insurance required?

No, Curex doesn’t require insurance. We offer clear and simple pricing, along with affordable medication options, making it easy and accessible to take care of your health.

Can I pay with an FSA or HSA card?

Yes! You can pay with your HSA or FSA card.

How much does treatment cost?

Semaglutide is priced at $149 for your first month, and $299 per month thereafter. This includes unlimited messaging with your medical provider, access to compounded medication at any dosage (if prescribed), and a user-friendly portal where you can manage your care plan and track your progress.

These prices do not include sales, promotions, or special offers.

Can you prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®*?

Our providers focus on personalized medications and dosages that aren’t commercially available at your local pharmacy. While we don’t prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®* directly, we may prescribe treatments containing the same active ingredient. These medications are specially compounded for you by a licensed pharmacy to meet your specific needs.

Are video visits with a provider required?

Our providers will review your information 100% online. Depending on where you live and the specifics of your medical history, our providers may require you to have a video visit or asynchronous visit via text message. If prescribed, you’ll get unlimited online access to message your provider as needed for follow-ups, adjustments, and answers to your questions.
