Best Waist Trimming Exercises

In this article I want to share with you some of the best waist trimming exercises that you can do to tone and trim your waistline and get that beautiful firm shape you've always wanted.

All these exercises target and tone the waist. However, none of these will deliver real results unless you also follow a healthy and sensible diet plan to make sure you eat right. So, eat right and do the following exercises to get a toned waist...

1. Standing sideways bend - Stand up straight with your feet slightly apart. Place one hand on your hip and keep the other arm straight and by your side. You may choose to hold a dumbbell in this hand for greater intensity.

To do the exercise, bend sideways to the side of the stretched out arm. Don't tilt or move your hips and keep your neck and head in a straight line to your torso. Feel the stimulation in your waist and rise back to the starting position.

2. Russian Twist - This exercise requires a stability ball to perform. You lie back on the stability ball but keep both feet planted on the ground slightly apart from each other. Stretch out your arms directly in front of you straight above your chest. To do the exercise, twist your upper body to the side (without lifting your feet from the floor) until the side of your body is touching the ball and you're facing directly to the side. Do this movement slowly to keep your stability on the ball.

The Russian Twist is one of the best waist trimming exercises there is but it's also one of the most challenging ones. This is an exercise that may take some practice on your part to perfect, so be aware of it.

3. Windshield wipers exercise - To do this exercise you need to lie on the floor or on a mat. Keep your upper body fully on the ground and lift both legs straight in the air. Place your hands by the sides of your body with your palms flat on the floor to provide support and stability. Let both legs fall directly to one side and halt their movement before they touch the floor. Use your waist muscles to control your legs and bring them back to the starting position.

Do these 3 waist toning exercises and you will get excellent results.

3 Waist Trimming Aerobic Workouts

In this article I want to present you with 3 of the best waist trimming aerobic workouts I know. I hope these will help you to trim and tone your waistline and look and feel better. Do these often to achieve the best results possible.

The purpose of each of these aerobic workouts is to burn off as much body fat as possible. This will also eliminate some of the fat around your waistline and give you that toned look you're seeking.

Here are the 3 workouts:

1. Swimming - I love swimming as it's an excellent aerobic workout that also has a lot of strength elements thrown into it. It works your entire body and helps to tone and build lean muscle tissue as well as burn lots of calories. Swimming is also a low impact sport so it's a great waist trimming workout for you to do.

2. Kickboxing - I happen to love kickboxing classes and other martial arts courses (at least those where I don't get beat up too much). What I love about kickboxing is that this is the type of aerobic workout that will challenge your body even if you're already fit. You may run 6 miles each day but this strains your body in a totally different way and helps to burn lots of fat and reduce inches off your waist.

Kickboxing is also a social activity so you're actually motivated to workout harder until you reach the kind of body that you want most of all.

3. The third aerobic waist trimming exercise that I want you to do is running. The reason why I recommend running is that it's a high intensity workout that really pushes your body into faster fat burning. Try to run at various speeds on each workout and include an up hill running segment during your workout. It will create a more intensive experience for you.

One workout which I don't highly recommend is the elliptical machine. For the most part, this is a low intensity workout and although it does have merit (as it's lower on impact than running), it won't burn nearly as much calories as other aerobic workouts, so you want get quite as fast results with it as you may achieve with other options.

Also, remember that without following a healthy diet, you will not be able to trim your waist regardless of how much you workout.

3 Exercises To Tone & Reduce Waist Size

Medicine Balls To Help Tone Waist

Everyone wants to lose some fat from around their waist. It's a trouble spot for men and women both, and the smaller it gets, the better clothes sit on you, not to mention that having too much waist fat can signal health risks.

One of the way to reduce waist size is to use specific and targeted waist toning exercises. In this article I'll describe 3 of them for your benefit.

Exercise #1 - Medicine Ball sidways Twist

To do this exercise you need a to have medicine ball. You sit on the floor or mat or stand and hold the medicine ball straight in front of you with both hands. Now, you twist your torso to one side while holding the ball with outstretched hands in front of you (the ball is always straight in front of your eyes even when you twist). You do a few reps of this exercise for both sides of the waist.

Note: You can do a combined killer exercise by doing a lunge and then twisting with a medicine ball, one leg and a twist to one side after the other. This burns a lot of fat.

Exercise #2 - Sideways Torso Bends

You begin this exercise by standing with both feet slightly apart and one hand holding the side of your waist. Now, you gradually bend your torso to the side with your free arm showing the way by going over your head. Make sure not to sway your hips or raise your feet from the floor. Do this for both sides and repeat several times.

Exercise #3 - Sideways crunch

This exercise starts like a regular sit up, but instead of going straight up, you raise your body to one side, lower yourself down slowly, and they raise yourself towards the other side. This works the oblique abs muscles which are related to the appearance of the waist.

By doing these 3 exercises for a smaller waist, you will lose inches from around your waist and look much fitter.
