Exercises to Lose Inches Off Your Waist

In this article I want to talk about the exercises you can do to lose inches off your waist. These will include 3 types of exercises: cardio, total body strength, and waist exercises. You should incorporate all 3 types of exercises into your workout routine to get the best results you can in as short a time as possible.

Let's begin with waist exercises:

- Sideway bends: Stand with your legs slightly apart and your hands on your waist. Simply bend to one side without tilting your hips. Feel the strain in your side and return to the starting position. Repeat to the other side . Holding a dumbell in each hand can make this exercise harder.

- Oblique crunch: This exercise is done similarly to a regular crunch but instead of rising straight with your upper body, you turn it to one side.

- Side crunch: To do this exercise you need to lie on the floor similarly to a crunch position but let your bent legs fall to one side so they're lying on the floor. Raise your upper body straight and you will actually be crunching your waist.

These exercises are great to tone your waist but to get real results you must also burn off body fat as you can do with the following exercises.

Cardio workouts

Doing cardio workouts will help you burn off body fat and make you slimmer all over. To use cardio to lose inches off your waist you should engage in intense workouts and really push yourself hard to make sure that your burning the most calories that you can. I recommend doing one of the following workouts as they tend to be intense: running, rowing, jumping rope, swimming, kickboxing, spinning, aerobic classes. You can also play ball games such as basketball if this is what you prefer.

The goal here is to burn more fat so you should choose a workout that is fun for you to do.

Full body strength training

The final piece of the exercise puzzle to lose inches off your waist is to train your entire body to build more lean muscle tissue and to boost your metabolism. Here you need to forget about your waist and get your entire body in shape. To do that you need to focus on compound exercises such as squats, lunges, chest presses, pull ups, pull downs, shoulder presses, chest flies, and so on. The more muscle groups each exercise involves the better. You will see how your body melts away the fat once you train this way.

Do all these exercises and you will see fast and quick results.
