So You Want a Thin Waist? Here are 5 Exercises

Weight loss is something that the majority of the America’s population is striving for. However, most of us have specific areas of our bodies that we aim to slim down. For some it’s the arms, for others legs, but the most common area is the waist. Slimming down and getting a trim, fit stomach can be nearly impossible without taking the proper steps.

Watching what you eat is the first step in the process, next comes exercise. We are going to go over some of the most trusted waist workouts for those looking to get a slimmer, more flat stomach.

Exercises For a Thin Waist

1. Reverse Abdominal Breathing

Sit with your back straight and breathe in through the mouth while compressing your abdominal muscles–the opposite of what your body wants to do naturally. Then breathe out through your nose while simultaneousl forcing your abdominal muscles to expand.

Do this for 5 minute intervals as often as you prefer, throughout the day.

2. Planking

Start on the floor, flat on your stomach. Elevate yourself onto your elbows and the tips of your toes; your back should be straight. If planking at the elbows is too difficult, straighten your arms so that you are in push up position.

Hold the plank for as long as you can, increasing the time little by little, every day. Holding a position burns surface fat, which is why exercises such as palates and yoga are so effective.

3. Pelvic Scoop

For this exercise you will need to lie on your back with your knees bent. Cross your right ankle over your left thigh (or vice versa) and lift the foot on the floor onto your heel. Next, with your hands on the floor at your sides, tilt your pelvis up as far as you can without arching the back. Hold for a moment and then lower yourself back to the floor.

Repeat this exercise ten times and then rest for a minute. Repeat 3 times.

4. Scissor Kick

To perform the scissor kick, rest on your back on the floor. You can use your hands for support beneath your lower back or you may use a small exercise ball. Next, elevate your legs about 6 inches in the air and kicks you legs, toes pointed, in a scissor motion.

Do this for 60 seconds.

5. Single Bridge

For this exercise, lie on your back with your knees bent. Lift one leg straight into the air and elevated you pelvis off the ground. While in this position, raise both arms up in line with your shoulders and then circle the foot in the air for 8 rotations in one direction. Repeat to the other direction and then change legs.
