What are some workouts I should be doing to get a smaller waist?

[pr3ttybr0wn]

I already know diet is a major part, but there has to be some strength training I can do besides have a rib removed, right? I want a curvy nipped in waist like this link not a boxy muscular waist like this link Not dissing her body, but it's not what I'm going for.

Sorry, sweetie, I was not able to get in here to see your links, but do get your points. I have always had a small waist, flat tummy, but believe me, have had to work hard for this and---on this---forever.lol I do keep my weight down(usually 116, sometimes has been much lower), and along with bending from just doing every day things, sometimes, I just lay out on the floor, and do "leg exercises" that also help my tummy when practicing "thigh time." Strengths my tummy, legs, and simultaneously, I notice, that with a little hard work, and proper eating, my waist has gone to some--"waste.":))

It depends on the overall fat distribution on your body. Some people more naturally have that curve, and others are just a little straight all the way through. Genetics... There is nothing wrong with either of those things, but one may not be attainable for the other body type. Just eat well and exercise and you will lose fat overall, then maybe you could have the cinched waist look. But I don't think there is anything you could do if your body doesn't naturally look that way after weight loss. I also would not recommend the corset thing...

Good luck :)

[bubbiexo]

Yeah, that's mostly due to genetics cause they have larger hips.

Thank you for most helpful :)

I don't think there's much you can do to be more nipped in from the sides.

If you want to flatten stomach without building visible muscle, you would focus on transverse abdominal exercises.

Running, volleyball, tennis all help. But you get dramatic results if you lose even a few lbs while doing the workouts! That requries managing your diet as the first priority.

[martyfellow]

Wow, the second girl has a firmer waist than I do, and I'm in pretty good shape!

[Susan123]

It's to do with fat distribution. It's genetic. While there might be some excercises that can target areas There is no proof you will lose weight where you want to. For example, if I lose weight one of thy first places I lose weight is usual chest or thighs. It's never really my waist. You can't really lose weight where yo want to. My aunt loses weight from her waist and retains an hour glass so she is lucky. I carry my wight pretty evenly so I'm OK. You can tone up that would help no matter what shape you are.

You can't influence it. I mean s everyone else I can't see your links, so I'm guessing what you want or don't want, but you can't influence your proportions, it's genetic.Nothing you can do at your age

Corsets can help, but only if you're willing to sacrifice your health. If worn everyday, over the years, they will press your organ and ribs together, giving you a slim waist, but causing all kinds of other issues

Well although you want those type of waist it depends on your body type not everyone has the same waist, some are higher some are lower. Besides eating well do oblique,abs and back workouts. Try to change it up and work out often.

There's no exercises you can do to make your waist smaller. Just cardio and dieting. However, you can make your butt and hips look a bit bigger with squatting and other lower body exercises, and that will visually make your waist look smaller.

I heard corsets, when used correctly, can help train your ribs and stomach area to stay in an hourglass shape. I bought one, but I gained weight and can't get the dang thing on lol

your links are not viewable.

to get smaller first you should work on what your diet consists of, and then focus on your exercises. Exercise is nothing without a proper diet to achieve a specific goal, especially when dealing with stomach area.

your links don't work.

I think a slim waist has more to do with low fat on the waist. also the hips may create the illusion of a slimmer waist.
