Physique 57 making my hips larger?
Hello everyone! I am new to this forum and this is my first time posting. I have read many of the P57 reviews and I know that for some women the workouts can lead to larger/bulkier thighs. My issues seem to be more with my hips. I have been doing the workout (I only have the first set for now) about 3 times a week for the past two months. I have seen noticeable changes to the outer thigh area just below my hips. I unfortunately did not take measurements but I now have noticeable indentation from slimming down. The problem is that this seems to make my hips, a problem area of mine, more pronounced if that makes sense.
I am within a normal weight range, so I decided to do barre workouts to tone and work on my hips, thighs and butt. I am a classic hourglass shape, 5'7" with a large bust and wide hips. While I love the slimming of my outer thighs, I'm not sure if it's worth it if my love handles seem bigger. I do feel the burn in my hips when I'm doing the workout, but so far I don't think I've dropped in pants size and now that I'm starting to break out some jeans again for the fall I've noticed that instead of feeling looser some of them feel almost tight around my thighs.
I should add that I usually workout 3-4 days a week. I do no other cardio with the exception of walks around the neighborhood in the evenings with my hubby, kids and dog. I am a stay-at-home mom to 3 year old twins and I run around all day long. I used to have a pedometer to ensure I was walking 10,000 steps, but most days it ended up being closer to 15,000 or more without even trying. I don't really have the time or energy to add extra cardio on the days when I do P57. Sometimes it's difficult to find the time to even squeeze in 4 workouts a week.
I'm torn on if I should continue or not. I love some of the results, others not so much! Should I continue on with the hopes that the results eventually make it to my hips/love handles or should I focus on something else? Any thoughts?
thanks!
Tracy
