    You need to eat at a caloric deficit to lose fat on the hips. Squat "challenges" only help with endurance.

    What exactly are your goals? Toned hips aren't really a thing...per say.

    If my hips could talk, they'd probably lie.

    Good for you! Strong leg muscles help prevent knee injuries. But, I agree with arditarose that you have to lose weight to make you lose an inch on your hips.

    A calorie deficit will do that, not squats
