To trim your waistline and strengthen your core, include abdominal exercises in your workout. A thinner waistline requires a combination of targeted exercises, total strength training, and cardiovascular exercise because spot reduction is impossible. Effective abdominal exercises for core muscles:
Crunches: How to: Lay on your back with knees bent and feet flat. Hands behind your head or across your chest. Use your abdominal muscles to lift your upper body toward your knees, then lower back down without fully resting your upper body.
Planks: How to: Try a push-up with your hands beneath your shoulders. Engage your core and stand straight from head to heels. Stay in this position as long as possible with appropriate form.
Russian Twists: How to: Sit on the floor with bent knees and flat feet. Lift your feet and lean back slightly maintaining your back straight. Twist your torso right and left, tapping the ground beside you, holding your hands together.
Leg raises: How to: Lay on your back with hands under hips and legs straight. Raise your legs straight to perpendicular to the floor. Lower them slowly without touching the ground.
Bicycle Crunches: How to: Lying back, put your hands behind your head. Pull your right elbow to your left knee and straighten your right leg. Switch sides and pedal with your left elbow to your right knee.
Woodchoppers: How to: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and weights or medicine balls in both hands. Rotate your torso and lower the weight diagonally to engage your core. Repeat on the other side from the start.
Focus on perfect technique, manage your actions, and gradually increase workout level. A smaller waistline requires cardiovascular exercise and a nutritious diet.
