The waist is the area between the chest and hips. It tends to be the narrowest part of the body, especially in women. Hip size can sometimes be used as an important measurement to identify risks of being overweight or suffering from cardiovascular problems.

Exercising to slim your waist helps prevent diseases. It also sculpts your body. Thus, you will feel more comfortable in the clothes you decide to wear.

Using abdominal strength, lift your hips off the floor until they line up with your body.

You can put your free hand on your hip or put it in the air.

Stand firmly with your feet open.

Take the stick, place it on your shoulders and spread your arms over it.

If you don't have a bar, place your hands behind your head with your elbows facing outward.

Return to the starting position and repeat the movement in the other direction.

Perform 5 sets of 15 repetitions.
