Vacuum Pose

• One of the easiest and most effective waist exercises is the vacuum pose. Stand relaxed, then suck in your bellybutton as far as possible. Don't suck in the top or bottom of your abdomen, just your bellybutton. Imagine that you're trying to make your bellybutton touch your spine. Hold this position anywhere from 15 to 60 seconds and then relax. Take a short break and repeat this process. Do about 5 minutes a day, and you could lose up to 3 inches on your waist within a month or two.
  
  

Rapid Squats

• Without any weight or guides, perform proper squats as fast as you can. Start in standing position, then squat as low as you can go. Touch the floor with your hand each time you squat down so you know you're going as low as possible each time. See how fast you can do 100 of them.
  
  

Toe Touches

• Lay on your back and bring your legs up so they create a 90-degree angle with your body. With your legs in this position, perform a short sit-up and try to touch your toes with your fingers. It's difficult to do, but reach up as high as possible. This is a great exercise for your lower abdomen. Do three sets of 10 and increase as they get easier.
  
  

Windshield Wipers

• Get in the same position you would if you were starting to do toe touches. Keep your back and arms flat on the ground and make sure your legs are lifted straight up in the air. Keep your legs together and slowly lower them to one side of you and slowly bring them back to the center. Lower them again, this time to the other side. Keep your abdomen tight and your back flat on the floor while performing this exercise. This will sculpt your obliques and tighten your lower abdomen. Start of by doing three sets of 15.
  
  

Hip Swivel

• Stand with your feet spread shoulder-width apart and your hands on your hips. Keep your abdomen tight and move your hips around in a circular motion like you are using a hula hoop. Do this for 30 minutes a day. If it's too easy for you, purchase a weighted hula hoop that will give you more of a challenge.
  
  

Seated Torso Twists

• Sit tall in a chair and hold a medicine ball with your arms extended out at chest level. Slowly twist to one side. Make sure not to lean forward and keep your head and neck in line with your torso and arms. You should always be looking at the ball. Slowly return to the center and repeat on other side. Do three sets of 15 and increase as they get easier.
