    not being smart at all here, but whichever gets your heart rate up the most will burn the most calories, there is no specific exercise which will burn fat from hips, unfortunately you just need to reduce fat overall and it WILL come off hip area given time ... try intervals, make sure to mix things up, try weights also, buy dumbells if you are not a member of a gym .. and above all, make sure diet is good ...
