5 simple Exercises You Can Do For a Slimmer Waist at Home

When it comes to slimming down your waist, you will need to employ the aid of cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and a well-balanced and nutritious diet.

No matter how many exercises you do, if you are over-consuming in your calorie count for the day, you will not be able to slim down your waist.

The key here is to do high-intensity cardio paired with muscle building strength training so that you can burn off what you eat and boost your metabolism.

Once you are within your calorie count and have a realistic idea of what your goal weight can be, start incorporating in the following exercises to slim down your abdominals, hone in those transverse abdominals, and sharpen those oblique’s.

1. Jump Rope or Do Jumping Jacks: neither of these are very complicated and they don’t take up a considerable amount of space.

If you have a basement, a wide open dining room, or a living room floor that is open, you can do these at home.

If not, doing them at the gym should be relatively easy if your gym has an aerobics room.

When you jump rope or do jumping jacks, you raise your metabolic rate rather quickly by getting your heart pumping, and these exercises force you to tighten up your entire core and brace for impact.

If you get bored of doing this after a while, add in more complex moves into the jump, like a twist or a turn.

2. Burpees Galore: this is one of the best exercises you can do for conditioning purposes.

It works every single muscle in your body and it is difficult.

Expect to be completely exhausted after doing a couple of these as they are a high-intensity option.

It is simple to complete as all you need to do is hop down into a plank position, pull both your feet into a tuck, and then jump upward as explosively as possible. Repeat!

3. Side Planks: although these look relatively easy, they can get exhaustive rather quickly.

Side planks are very similar to normal planks in the fact that you have to hold the position but differ in their formation setup.
Place your forearm and elbow down onto the floor and stack one foot up on the other.
Lift up and hold your body in a “prone and boarded” position that is static.

Do not bend your knees and keep your back straight. Flip and repeat on the other side.

4. Do Bicycle Crunches: these are great if you are looking for a floor cardio exercise.

These will make your abdominals burn a lot more than other exercises as it engages the entire abdominal wall.

Lay down on your back, lift both legs up off the floor, and rotate pulling in the knees to your chest.

When you pull in one knee, leave the other leg outstretched, off the floor and touch the pulled in knee with the opposite elbow.

5. Do High Knees: another extremely easy workout exercise to do as all you need is a small space and non-slip shoes.

Pull one knee up as high as possible and rotate to the next knee.

Repeat this over and over until your heart gets pumping.

If you want to push yourself a bit, do the exercise as if you were running on the spot, bringing your knees up as high as possible.

The great thing about the above exercises is that you can do them in any order and in any type of routine.

You can mix and match them with weights, or choose to do them after a hard cardio workout.

Keep in mind that the more muscle you build, the more calories you will burn, so don’t forget to try building up a bit of muscle as it will also help you slim down in the waist area.
