do squats make your hips bigger? please help

A trainer told me not to do squats because it will make your hips wider. I am not sure what to believe because i see all of these perfect looking women that have small hips and bodies doing squats.Can someone shine some light on this subject.

Any trainer that tells you not to do the king of exercises is a poorly educated trainer. Squats will make you look better.

Just do squats. ALWAYS squat.

The squat will make everything bigger - thighs, waist, hips (proportionately). You won't turn into a freak if you start squatting regularly, if that was your concern. Arnold used to squat heavy and hard, but he never had a 'wide waist'.

That trainer is an idiot.

Squats will give your butt and legs a better shape and proportion to each other. It is a key exercise for anyone. You can bet that a woman with a gross flat butt probably doesn't do squats.

I suggest you change your trainer, or train by yourself. We are more than happy to help you. But seriously drop this idiot lol.
Squats will make your butt and legs look [i]Better[/i].

yea this trainer is a jackass. Squats definitely don't make you thicker in the hips other than a nice butt and legs.

thanks everyone i will start doing squats asap! trainer fired!

I think it makes everything bigger in a better way as stronger.

If you're aiming to have the typical Hollywood look, then there are trainers specifically for that purpose and they emphasis not to Squat and Dead-lift... If that is YOUR goal too, then your trainer is right.

However, if your aim is to look great as well as increase strength, then Squat is the winner.

It all depends on your goal. I'd never exclude Squat personally.

What has this world come to when a trainer tells someone not to do squats?

i still have weight to lose but i did squats for the first time tonight and i am sooooo weak in that area my overall goal is to keep losing weight and gain muscle to be lean and stronger. i will never be hollywood i just want to look good in a bikini if i want to wear one. I really appriciate all the advise thank you

squats is really effective but when you doing squats wear booty wow which help to make butt bigger fast.
