There is no one exercise that will magically reduce all your waistline fat and help you get a slimmer waist. There is a bunch of exercises for a smaller waist that will help you get that strong core and a slim waist.

Bicycle Crunch

An easy exercise for waist reduction, bicycle crunches give you a cardio hit as well as an ab burn and is one of a kind.

How to do:

• For a side plank lean on the left side of your body keeping a straight line from head to toe and bend your arm and elbow keeping it directly under your shoulder.
• Hold it for 30-45 seconds and repeat on the other side.

Burpees

Burpees are another exercise that will help you immensely if you want to have a smaller waist. A full body conditioning exercise, burpees work every muscle group in the body and if you do it along with a push up then this exercise will be even more exhausting.

How to do:

• For burpees start by spreading your feet, shoulder width apart, keeping your head up and back straight. Then squat and place your hands on the floor.
• Now place all your weight on your hands as you put your feet in plank position.

Russian Twists

Another exercise that you can include in your slim waist workout is Russian Twists. This exercise helps in improving your body muscles and alongwith toning your waist will also work core and shoulders.

How to do:

• For Russian Twists, lie down on your back and raise your knees and bend them at a 45 degree angle. Make sure your feet are just hovering off the floor and hold the weight right above your chest. Don’t use your legs but your abs to raise your torso and keep it at a 45 degree angle with the floor.
• Now twist your torso towards your left and raise your arms but keep your arms straight. Repeat on the other side.

Squats

Squats target your hamstrings and glutes and are popularly known as an exercise that works the thighs and the butt. However, this exercise also affects the waist. This exercise burns calories and helps in reducing your waist size.

How to do:
