    Side bends!!! (And you totally CAN spot reduce. I have, and it's worked for me.) I use 3 pound weights and do reps of 25 each side, like 4-6 times every other day. This has helped me with my sides a lot. I am very curvy as well. I went from squeezing into a size 18, down to a 12/14 (depending on brand) since the middle of March. I also do cardio. I run every other day, and that is the BEST way to reduce your core and lose inches (even my doctor said so), but you can absolutely reduce the hips by doing some side bends.

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say your 4 inches lost has more to do with your diet and running than the side bends with 3# weights.

    And if your doctor said so you need to find another doctor because he/she is an idiot.

    Glad I'm not the only one wondering how working your obliques with very low weight/high reps translates to stimulating your transverse abdmoninus and gluteals.
