This is one of the most common goals among women who wish to lose weight and build muscle: slim their waist and get a flat stomach! No miracle methods exist, you need to maintain a healthy diet and targeted exercises. Here is a routine you must do 3 times a week that will help you reach your goal!
The Best Exercises to Slim Your Waist
Exercise 1
Begging with the plank, to warm up! Get on your for-arms and knees, and then spread your legs out to get into plank position. Make sure your back is straight, and your head is aligned with your hips and heels. Hold this position for 1 min 30, don’t forget to breath! This exercise will make your abdominal strap muscles work, especially the oblique muscles. Repeat this exercise 4 times.
Exercise 2
For the second exercise, lay on your back and bend your knees (your feet are still on the ground). Place your hand behind your head while inhaling, lift your shoulders off the ground while exhaling. Don’t pull on your neck! Don’t pull on your hand either, the effort should come from your abs. Exhale and get back into initial position. Do 2 series of 40 reps.
Exercise 3
Get into the same position as the previous exercise. While lifting your shoulders bring your right knee towards you and try to touch it with your left elbow. Your upper body should twist a little. Exhale and get back into initial position. Do the same movement with your left knee and right elbow. Do 3 series of 30 reps.
Exercise 4
Get into the same position as the previous exercise but support your upper body on your arms. Your hands should be under or near your buttocks. Keep your knees and heels together and stretch your legs in front of you. Your legs should not touch the ground. Once your legs are straight bring them back into the initial position by tightening your abs. Make sure to breath and keep your back straight. Do 2 series of 20 reps.
