Waist Training Guide To Help You Lose Inches Off Your Waist

1. Side Planks

Side planks are the most underrated exercises for strengthening your core. They are more challenging than traditional planks because you’re balancing your entire body on two points of contacts instead of four.

To do side planks, lie on your side and align your elbow with your shoulder. Raise your entire body, balancing it just on the side of your shoe and your elbow. Place your other hand on your hip to help you balance yourself.

If you want to make it harder on yourself then stretch out your top leg.

2. Alligator Drags

Alligator drags require you to tighten your core enabling you to balance your entire body on both your hands.

Start in the pushups position. Make sure your back is kept straight and doesn’t bend inwards. Place your feet on a towel or notebook (anything that will slide easily across the floor) and then move forward using your arms, dragging the rest of your body along.

Walk yourself forwards for at least 10 yards and then walk yourself back. Allow yourself to rest for a minute and then repeat it once or twice.

3. Bicycle Crunches

These are much more difficult than they look.

Lie on your back, stretching out your legs in the air, bring up one knee to your chest while keeping the other in the air and then switch legs. To make it harder, each time you bring up your knee, touch it with the opposite elbow.

Bicycle crunches give you a cardio hit and your abs a burn while toning your leg muscles as well.

4. Hip Thrusts

Hip thrusts are essential to this waist training guide. Again, they look a lot easier than they actually are. Hip thrusts target your glutes and your lower back. Sculpting your glutes automatically makes your waist appear smaller.

5. Vertical Hip Lifts

Vertical hip lifts stimulate your TVA muscles (Transverse Abdominal Muscles).

To do vertical hip lifts correctly, lie on your back and make an L shape with your leg. Push your feet towards the ceiling, using the weight of your legs to pick your hips off the floor. Make sure you do this without any bending or swaying because it will defeat the purpose.

Sticking to this waist training guide will help you gain your flat waist in no time. Just do these exercises regularly and be careful with the food you eat.
