Lateral Leg Raises

 

Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart. Slowly lift your right leg to the side, keeping it straight and toes pointed forward. Hold for a moment at the top before lowering it back down. Keep your core engaged and shoulders relaxed throughout the movement. Repeat on the other side. This exercise targets the outer hips directly, enhancing muscular tone in the saddlebag area.

Curtsy Lunges

 

Start standing with feet hip-width apart. Step your right leg diagonally behind your left leg, lowering your hips into a lunge while keeping your torso upright. Ensure your front knee is aligned over your ankle. Return to starting position and switch legs. Curtsy lunges effectively engage your glutes and outer thighs, reducing saddlebag fat.

Fire Hydrants

 

Position yourself on all fours with your hands under your shoulders and knees under your hips. Lift your right knee out to the side while keeping it bent at a 90-degree angle. Pause at the top, then lower it back down. This exercise isolates the outer hip muscles, aiding in the reduction of excess fat.

Side Plank Hip Lifts

 

Lie on your right side with your legs straight. Prop up on your right elbow and lift your hips to form a straight line from head to heels. Lower your hips slightly and lift again. Engage your core and keep your body in alignment. This exercise strengthens the obliques and hip abductors, toning the outer hips.

Clamshells

 

Lie on your side with your knees bent and legs stacked. Keeping your feet together, lift your top knee while keeping your pelvis stable. Lower the knee back down. This isolated hip movement is perfect for targeting the gluteus medius, which helps trim saddlebag fat.

Squat to Lateral Leg Lift

 

Perform a standard squat keeping your weight on the heels and chest lifted. As you return to standing, lift your right leg out to the side. Alternate sides with each squat. This dynamic movement blends a classic lower body exercise with targeted hip work, enhancing fat loss around the hips.

Standing Side Kicks

 

Stand tall with feet hip-width apart and hands on your hips. Kick your right leg out to the side with controlled motion, keeping it straight. Return to starting position and switch sides. This exercise not only burns calories but also tones the outer thighs and hips.

Bridge with Abduction

 

Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Lift your hips to form a bridge, then slowly open and close your knees in an abduction motion. Engage the glutes and maintain a steady rhythm. This variation of the bridge exercise optimizes toning in the outer hip area.

Step-Ups with Side Kick

 

Use a step or sturdy bench. Step onto it with your right foot and as you stand, kick your left leg out to the side. Step down and repeat with the opposite leg. This exercise combines cardio with focused muscle engagement, supporting fat loss in the hip region.

Banded Lateral Walks

 

Place a resistance band just above your knees. Stand with feet hip-distance apart, and bend slightly at the knees. Take small lateral steps, maintaining band tension by keeping your feet apart. This movement activates the hips and thighs, sculpting the saddlebag area efficiently.

How to Combine Exercises for Losing Saddle Bags (Outer Hip Area) Fat

 

Lateral Leg Raises and Standing Side Kicks

 

  • Combine Lateral Leg Raises with Standing Side Kicks to maximize outer hip engagement. Start with Lateral Leg Raises, performing 10 repetitions per leg, then immediately transition to Standing Side Kicks, aiming for 10 kicks on each side. This combination effectively targets and tones the hips for improved results.

 

Curtsy Lunges and Squat to Lateral Leg Lift

 

  • Pair Curtsy Lunges with Squat to Lateral Leg Lift for a dynamic lower body workout. Execute 12 Curtsy Lunges alternating sides, followed by 10 Squat to Lateral Leg Lifts per side. This pairing enhances glute activation and boosts cardiovascular endurance.

 

Fire Hydrants and Clamshells

 

  • Combine Fire Hydrants with Clamshells to isolate outer hips and glutes. Perform 15 reps of Fire Hydrants on one side, then switch to 15 reps of Clamshells on the same side before repeating on the other side. This combination focuses on muscle endurance and strength.

 

Side Plank Hip Lifts and Bridge with Abduction

 

  • Blend Side Plank Hip Lifts with Bridge with Abduction to enhance core and hip stability. Hold Side Plank Hip Lifts for 30 seconds on each side, then transition into 15 reps of Bridge with Abduction. This sequence improves hip toning while also strengthening the core.

 

Step-Ups with Side Kick and Banded Lateral Walks

 

  • Combine Step-Ups with Side Kick and Banded Lateral Walks for a cardio and muscle toning session. Perform 10 Step-Ups with Side Kick on each leg, then immediately engage in 20 steps of Banded Lateral Walks. This combination boosts calorie burn and targets the hip area.

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.
