If you are someone who wants to lose weight without adopting fad diets or related faux weight-loss regimes, then do the following best workouts for smaller waist.
Workout #1 – Heal touching
Heal touching is an effective way to burn excess fat from your abdominal muscles as well as oblique muscles thus leaving you with a flat or lean belly.
The starting position
You would need to lie on a yoga mat or at least a flat surface then you would need to bend your knees all the while placing your legs apart. The distance between your legs should not be more than the width of your shoulders.
After this, you would need to extend your arms all the while keeping your palms facing the floor.
Steps to follow
- Breathe out and crunch your torso towards the left side in a bid to touch your left heel using the fingers of your left hand. You would need to hold this position for a second or two and then return to the initial position to breathe in.
- The above steps should be followed for your right side as well.
- You would need to repeat the above steps at least thirty times in a set for optimal results.
Workout #2 – V-crunch or otherwise known as the oblique crunch
Your oblique muscles store a lot of fat that if left unchecked can lead to flabby bellies. Now, the excess fat can be burnt out if you do this workout properly and regularly.
The starting position
You would need to lie down on your right side over your yoga mat. Then you would need to pile your legs over one another. After this, you would need to place your left hand at the back of your head.
Steps to follow
- You would need to raise your legs from the floor. Keep them straight all the while bringing your torso toward them. It will be tough at the beginning but with practice, you will be able to form the ‘v’ shape needed to achieve the best results from this workout with ease.
- To hold the position, you would need to provide support to yourself with your now free right hand.
- After this, you would need to lie back to the yoga mat and repeat the above steps all over again at least eight times for each side.
Workout #3 – Regular forearm plank – the trendsetting exercise
This is a trendsetting workout that has taken the internet by storm. This workout targets all the core muscles of your body which when done properly (and regularly) can leave you with a flat or at least ‘lean-looking’ belly.
Steps to follow
- You would need to start by placing your forearms on the floor or yoga mat.
- Then you would need to align your elbows below the plane your shoulders create. In the end, you would need to make sure that your arms are in parallel to your body and are shoulder-width apart from one another.
- Then you would need to straighten out your spine and neck by looking forward – at least thirty centimeters to a point from your hands.
- You are all set and for maximum efficacy, hold this position for about a minute to 90 seconds.
In the end, even when you do all of the above workouts diligently regularly but fail to control your diet; you won’t see the results that you were hoping for. For more details be sure to ask your trainer and follow the professional’s advice word for word.
