Squats and lunges will work the hips and glutes. You do want those to look nice too, right?

The acutal 'hip' contains quite a bit not just the adductors and abductors. Generally speaking if you want to shape up as Cursor had said Squats is a great way to strengthen the legs/hips etc.

Side Lunges and rollerblading should do it. Might want to throw in some sumo squat on occasion.

I noticed that cyclists have slim hips, yet extremely muscular legs.
