If you are looking to slim your waist, I always advise my gym clients to work on their obliques, the abdominal muscles on the sides. I usually recommend workouts, including;
Side bends
- Grab a dumbbell or weight plate on the right hand
- Stand with legs more than shoulder-width apart, keeping the knees soft and chest out.
- Tuck in your tummy and bend to the right side without tempering with the lower body.
- Return to starting position as one rep
- Do 12-15 reps on the right before moving to the left
- Do 3 sets, committing to at least three times every week.
Heel touches
- Lie on your back with knees bent
- Lift your upper back and twist to the right, letting the right hand touch your right ankle.
- Switch and do the same to the left, as one rep
- Do 12-15 reps of 3 sets
- I recommend doing this exercise at least thrice every week
Elbow to-knee crunch
- Lie on your back
- Lift both legs, with the left going two inches off the floor and the right bent at right angles
- With your hands beside the ears, twist your upper body, letting the left elbow meet the right knee.
- Release and apply the same on the other side as one rep.
- Do 12-15 reps of 3 sets
- Do this workout thrice weekly.
