Second chakra definitely does not consist of your hips. I don’t know what it does consist of, but it’s probably more like a gland / a bundle of nerves / a bundle of muscles. It’s tricky to separate these experientially because most things that would affect one of them (e.g. touching) would affect the others.
The gland thing seems weird to me. Most internet sources associate the first chakra with the adrenals, which sit on top of the kidneys and aren’t physically anywhere near the usually pictured location of the first chakra (at the base of your spine.) Most sources associate second chakra with the ovaries (which are in the right place) or testes (which aren’t, afaik, in anyone’s lower belly area.) I’d been thinking of second chakra as basically my uterus, but altering hip posture is relevant for e.g. relieving uterine pain.
