How can I get a smaller waist?

[honeybones]

So I have a round butt thanks to my squats and leg lifts... My mom and sisters judged my butt with the chart and all agreed I have a round butt, BUT (pun so intended) I have the upper body of the square person shown below... My mom said all I needed now was to make my waist smaller and this is one of my goals.
i weigh 113 llbs and I am 5'... What exercises or things would you all recommend so I can get a nice small waist :)? I've been doing the bicycle style exercise in which the opposite elbow touches the opposite knee but I would like to know if I should waist train and if they've gotten results from that or another exercise :) thanks everyone !

You already sound skinny enough, so losing weight won't get you much closer to what you hope to achieve in getting a smaller waist.

Toning certain regions would be a good way to go. Lots of core to tone up your abdominal region will help. Some leg lifts/leg-raises to work the lower abs. Some planking helps for overall core as well. If you want to develop more of a waist, sideways plank will aid in that. It'll work the muscles in your obliques, helping give more derision to the hip:waist ratio you've already got. That exercise where you lay on your back, knees up at a 90 angle and you do crunches where every time you come up, you touch the opposite toe (rotate between right/left) will work on the obliques even more.

Wait, how has no one yet commented on the fact that her own mother told her she needs to make her waist smaller? That's incredibly dysfunctional D:

Honey, you don't need to change yourself at all. There is nothing wrong with having whatever shape of butt you have. Sure, work out and whatever if you want to, but don't feel like you *need* to in order to look a certain way.

My mother didn't need to tell me this... I had this in mind since I was 14. My family is way too functional... They always tell me I'm perfect the way I am but I want a smaller waist. I don't want to have absolutely no curves :/ I have a 34B cup bust... That's not even near being the modern average... I want some curves... And having a hxc rectangular figure really isn't my plan... People say you can't change how you look through exercise but really you can... My goal is nowhere near losing weight as I suffered depression once and I had a battle with an eating disorder and mother and father were there for me despite all of our depresion. My mom actually thinks its silly I focus so much on my looks to be honest. :/

I have a round bum now... I went from a dented "v" look to a square, to a round booty... My waist isn't as small so it doesn't look so much round... :/

Waist exercises, eat less, drink plenty of water to clean the liver, a blocked up liver makes you pile on weight around the waist believe it or not.

Well, Whatever 'shape' you are, you can't really change, Its genetic ya know?

Just like some guys have broad shoulders, and some dont, Its just the way it is unfortunately.

And, You could always try and tone up (Though at 113lbs you sound fairly skinny already so i doubt loosing weight would be too good of an idea?).

Tbh, There is nothing wrong with the body type you described yourself as having.

Stomach vacuums will build an internal corset of muscle... look up a tutorial on how to do them and i guarantee your waist will shrink..

or you could wear corsets...

You should try focusing on obliques and search down some hourglass workouts on youtube, those certainly help. Try and get down to 109lbs.

But beware, too many abs exercises and you will end up with a wide but toned waist/stomach like female bodybuilders. Perhaps try to cut down on the carbs and sugar to help reduce your waistline and try investing in a waist trainer/corset. If none of these works than it is probably down to genetics and you may need to try some procedures, fat freezing or something ( depending on how bad you want a small waist, I'm not encouraging anything too drastic lol)

I honestly don't feel comfortable telling you to lose weight at that size. Some of use just have a wider waist by virtue of genetics. Accept yourself for the awesome person you already are and buy belts if you're really really worried about it.

A lot of it has to do with genetics... eat healthy and do a lot of midsection workouts. I workout moderately and eat what I want in decent proportions and I have a tiny waist just because of genetics

Your structure likely won't chanhe much.
But working your obliques will tone the sides of your waist and maybe tuck it a little.
