A 9 Minute Workout To Help You Get A Slender Waist & A Trimmed Belly

Shaping the waist and belly does not only include diet and exercise. Bad posture also contributes to an unshapely waist. In order to work on your waist, you have to keep in mind that not all exercises are aimed at slimming the waist. Some actually work on the abdominal muscles to tone them and as a result, the muscles expand and your waist increases. While you will still have a toned body, your waist will not actually trim down.
Following are 5 useful exercises for a slimmer waist. Perform these at least 3-4 times a week preferably in the order as given below. Those who have recently had surgery done should only perform exercises recommended by their physical therapists. If there is a grace period for exercise after surgery ensure that you adhere to it.
Women who complain about angina, suffer from heart diseases, have had a hysterectomy or a C-section recently should consult their doctor before starting any rigorous exercise. Always remember to stretch out and warm up before starting your workout. Avoid drinking water right before and right after exercise.
