The three most common questions that women ask about how to get a smaller waist revolve around diet and exercise. Losing weight in these areas won’t happen easily.

KAMPALA | NOW THEN DIGITAL — Want to know how to get a smaller waist? The waist is made of two types of fat: subcutaneous and visceral. You can burn the latter to reduce your risk of long-term health conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

  • Do exercises that target your waist. Some of these exercises will help you build muscle and make your waist look narrower. Strength training is also an effective way to lose weight. Taking up an exercise program or working out regularly will burn the excess belly fat and make you look more attractive. 
  • You can also follow a diet that burns fat and helps you lose weight. Doctors recommend cutting 500 calories a day. However, this diet can be too difficult for most people. You can hire a trainer for advice.
  • Another exercise that will tone your core and help you lose a few inches around your waist is the plank. By doing side planks, you’ll strengthen your waist and tone your muscles. Stand up on your forearm and straighten your legs. 
  • Raise your hips up and hold for thirty to 45 seconds and then repeat on the other side. You will soon notice a difference in your waist size. If you want to get a smaller waist, you must focus on your daily routine.

Women tend to ask about diet and exercise when it comes to getting a smaller waist. But what about alcohol consumption? The truth is, that both of these problems can be addressed and resolved. Here are some exercises you can try:

The next exercise to get a smaller waist is the plank. This exercise strengthens the entire core and glutes, and works your arms and shoulders at the same time. It will also help improve your posture and tighten your midsection. 

Try doing this exercise as often as possible for a smaller waist. If you have trouble performing standard crunches, this is a good alternative. Just remember to keep your knees and hips stable, or you’ll end up bending your waistline more than you should.

Another exercise to get a smaller waist is the stomach vacuum. This exercise targets your inner core and can cut two or three inches off your waistline within a few weeks. You can learn how to perform this exercise by watching a video tutorial here. You should do this exercise every morning. 

Other exercises to target the inner core are leg extensions and ab workouts. Several exercises can be combined to achieve a smaller waist. Here are some of them:

While the diet is the most important element of getting a smaller waist, you can also incorporate exercises to tone your core. 

Aside from the standard sit-up, you can also perform side planks. You can even try Russian twists for a smaller waist. These exercises engage your abdominal muscles, glutes, and core. 

To perform the Russian twist, sit on the floor with your butt on the ground and hold a light dumbbell in your hands.

Another exercise to get a smaller waist is to add more muscle to your glutes. These are a group of three main muscles in the torso. By targeting all three, you can build a tighter waist. 

You can do squats, lunges, and donkey kicks to strengthen your obliques. Fire hydrants are also a great choice, as these are effective in targeting the obliques.

Diet

If you want to lose a few inches around your waist, you need to make some lifestyle changes. Many of us are sedentary, so exercising has become a chore.

In addition to eating the right foods, you need to exercise to strengthen your abdominal muscles. 

Several exercises can help you lose the excess fat around your waist. Here are a few ways to start working on your new waistline. Listed below are the top three tips on how to get a smaller waist.

Ensure your diet is high in protein. This helps you preserve muscle mass while slimming. Make sure you include protein at every meal to avoid muscle loss. Whole grains are also good because they retain the outer layer of nutrients. 

Whole grains include oatmeal, barley, quinoa, and brown rice. You should also include fruits in your diet, as they are high in fiber and contain antioxidants that may prevent cancer cells from growing.

Reduce your consumption of refined grains. Refined grains have been processed significantly and lose valuable nutrients. Refined grains are rich sources of carbohydrates, but they are often high in calories and salt. 

Avoid refined grains like white bread, pasta, and pastries, and choose whole grains. Avoid processed sugar, white flour, and high-fructose corn syrup. These foods are the worst culprits when it comes to boosting your waist size.

Increase your physical activity. Pilates and yoga are excellent activities to strengthen your core abdominal muscles. Find a class that offers these exercises or join a gym. Remember to wear comfortable, breathable clothing, and bring a water bottle.

For extra motivation, listen to music while exercising. Wear waist-cinching belts. They will draw attention to your waist and help you achieve an hourglass figure. You can choose from wide, skinny, braided, or jeweled belts.

Exercise routine

If you are looking for an effective way to lose fat from your waist, you should incorporate simple exercises into your daily routine. 

While some exercises may seem too difficult to do, these routines will help you achieve your desired results in a matter of months. 

Regardless of your fitness level, you can always add some exercises to your routine to get the desired results. You can sign up for free newsletters to get daily tips and ideas from approved trainers to start your daily workout routine.

One exercise that can help you get a smaller waist is the obliques. These muscles work to tone your midsection, so strengthening them will make your waist appear smaller. 

This exercise will also tone your hips and thighs, which will give you a more voluptuous figure. While the obliques are mainly an abdominal exercise, you can also perform oblique exercises with a resistance band above your knees. Do three sets of oblique exercises, resting 60 seconds in between each set.

If you’re looking for a routine that burns fat and tonifies your body, dancing is a great way to lose weight around your waist. You don’t need to take dancing lessons, just make sure that you get some exercise. This type of movement will help you lose weight while having a great time. 

Dumbbell exercises will also build your shoulders. Lifting dumbbells four times a day will help you develop strong shoulders and lean abdominal muscles. You’ll also lose inches around your waist as you tone your shoulders and outer thighs.

You may also want to consider adding a vacuum twist to your workout routine. You can incorporate it into your morning routine or a kitchen timer and make it part of your daily routine. Hold the twist for several seconds and make sure your posture is correct. 

Remember that your ab muscles are vital in getting rid of fat from your stomach. So, do your best to strengthen them while you’re at it. You’ll notice the results in no time!

Drinking less alcohol

One of the easiest ways to lose weight and get a smaller waist is by cutting down on your alcohol intake. You may think that cutting down on alcohol means giving up all your favorite drinks, but this is not the case. 

Instead, there are many lower-strength drinks available to satisfy your cravings. If you are looking for a healthier lifestyle, consider switching to lower-strength drinks. 

Depending on your age, you may want to aim for less than 14 units of alcohol per week. For reference, this equals to about 6 medium (175 ml) glasses of wine or a pint of 4% beer.

Those who drink alcohol should also know that it doesn’t have any nutritional value. While it may make you fall asleep faster, alcohol doesn’t give you the energy to burn off the extra calories. It is also full of calories and can add up to actual weight gain. 

People who drink alcohol often lose track of their health goals, so they tend to reach for more unhealthy foods and drinks when they’re hungover.

Aside from making you feel more hungover and sluggish, alcohol is also highly calorific. Limiting your intake can help you lose weight faster. In addition to the calories, alcohol can also decrease your sleep, meaning you will be less active and lose weight. 

And, since it lowers your blood sugar levels, it increases your craving for junk food. If you want to lose weight, you should also cut back on sugary beverages, sodas, and juices. Instead, stick to water.

You should also try to cut back on alcohol before you go to bed. Alcohol has alpha wave patterns, which aren’t conducive to restorative sleep. Lack of sleep will increase stress hormones, which makes it difficult for your body to burn fat. 

However, cutting back on alcohol consumption can make you more alert and sharp at work. You can also switch to smaller wine glasses if you’re worried about your waist.

Working your core muscles

One of the most important muscles for shaping your waist is your core. You can work on your obliques and rectus abdominis by strengthening these muscles. 

Developing these muscles will improve your strength, movement, and stability, as well as your overall appearance. If you’re planning to get a smaller waist, these exercises will be especially beneficial. 

However, beware of ab crunch and rotation machines, as they can cause spinal injuries.

The best way to work your core muscles to get a smaller waist is to get active. Try yoga or Pilates, which target the core and help create a firmer midsection. Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and a water bottle, and make sure to listen to music that motivates you to work out. 

Also, try wearing a waist-cinching belt. Belts can be wide or narrow, braided or jeweled, but it will draw attention to your waist and help you develop a slimmer figure.

The hourglass figure is one of the most popular body shapes. Women with an hourglass figure have a small waist compared to their hips and bust. If you’re looking to trim your waist, ab exercises can help. 

Just keep in mind that some exercises may actually do the opposite of what you’re hoping to accomplish. Your natural shape is largely determined by your body type. Some people are naturally curvy, while others are naturally straight.

Another exercise to work your core muscles is the dog bird. This total core workout targets the abs and lower back, while improving your balance and stability. Performing this exercise involves lying on your back with your arms above your head and extending your legs. 

Make sure to engage your core muscles as you raise your legs and arms. Hold for a few seconds, and then lower yourself back to the start position. There are no other exercises that target your core muscles as much as the dog bird.
