Anyone got good workouts for the hips...

1. Find an instructor in tae kwon do, muaythai or savate. These are martial arts that focus on kicking.
2. See no. 1 - if you skip no.1 you're fooling yourself and wasting your time.
3. Do some running, body weight squats, toe raises to get your legs conditioned. You can do this now. Better yet, follow crossfit.com
4. Practice your kicks hundreds of times a day.
5. Kick targets, pads and bags.
6. Lastly, spar as much as you can. Spar with anyone and everyone. Any style. It will teach you how others react to your kicks (and punches), what you can and can't do in real-time.
