Things You Need To Know to Get a Smaller Waist

Stop Dreaming About a Smaller Waist

How many times have you stood in front of your mirror trying to figure how you can get a smaller waist?  My bet is that if you are like my wife you have spent several days a week looking at yourself in the mirror and pushing your sides in or sucking your gut in so that your waist looks smaller.  Believe me I have seen it all and I will probably see it some time again next week (she’s out of town right now).  The fact is that a lot of women just simply want to  know how they can get a smaller waist to achieve that hourglass shape.

Ok so this picture has nothing to do with this post, but I like Wonder Woman, so I decided to put a picture of her in this post.  You have to admitt, most women would love to have a waist similiar to hers and most of you can.  Not everyone will achieve this goal but everyone can if they put in the time and effort.

Let’s Get the Facts Straight First

In order for you to make your waistline smaller than it is now you are going to have to face the facts.  There are a lot of myths about what you can do to lose your stomach but the fact is that most of what you have heard isn’t the truth and isn’t working for you.  Doing crunches all day long until you can’t breathe isn’t going to make your little muffin top go away.  I don’t care how sore your muscles are in the morning the fat is still going to be there.

Machines like this have people thinking that they are going to achieve a smaller waist simply by getting on it and working out.  This is not going to help you achieve the waist you are looking for, it will however take your money and find a new reason to buy the new upgraded version.

These crazy belts that zap your muscles like you are some animal is not the way to go either.  The one thing that electronic devices are going to make smaller is the money available on your credit card as you spend more and more money for the next great tech device that does nothing but give you false hope.  Don’t waste your money on these infomercials claiming you can set in front of television and do nothing and have great abs and a smaller waist.  Complete waste of time and your money.

So You Really Want to Drop a Few Waist Sizes

If you have made it this far then I probably didn’t scare you away with the myths out there and you are probably one of the few who will actually listen and achieve your goal.  There is no secret to getting a smaller waist and it is so simple that is difficult for many to understand.  It basically comes down to what you do in the kitchen and how you work your body.

Diet and Exercise are the Key To Success

What you do in the kitchen is going to have one of the biggest effects on your waist being smaller in 2 weeks than it is now.  Yeah you have heard this before and believe me if I had a machine to sell you to help you lose pounds around your waist I would but there is none I already check and nothing works.  One of the keys to your diet is eating out less and cooking at home more.  If you are hungry drink water and eat food that you have already packed.  No there are no special foods that you need to eat just certain things you may need to stay away from.  Foods like high calorie snacks, nuts, canned foods, and sodas.  Most of these contain high amounts of sodium, fat, and the worst of all calories.

Exercise is exercise, right?  Wrong sure you can exercise all day every day of the week and I bet you still may not lose weight.  In fact I know some women who work out and actually gain weight during the week and believe me they didn’t put on 2-4 pounds of muscle like their trainer told them.  You have to make sure you are doing interval and weight training.  Spending five hours on the treadmill sweating like a cow is not going to cut it.  You have to get your metabolism up so that your body will increase the amounts of HGH you make to help burn fat.

There are NO BELLY SPECIFIC FAT EXERCISES

You waist is not going to get smaller simply because you are doing exercises that are related to that area.  Doing these exercises will help you tighten up your waist and give you that great look once you have lost the pounds but until then you are just spinning your wheels for nothing.  If you follow these tips and advice you will be on your way to achieving a smaller waist in just a few short weeks.  Remember there are no magic pills to get a smaller waist just hard work, patience and commitment on your part.

Knowing what exercises tone thighs is one of the most asked questions I get from women.  The next question that usually follows it how long is it going to take to reduce the flab and have nice sexy legs.  What I usually start off saying is that it is going to take a little time and patience but that they will easily see results in a few weeks. 

I know they will see results they want if they follow my plan and the exercises that I layout for them.  One key to knowing that you are seeing results is to make sure that you measure your thighs so that you know what you are starting with.

Thighs come in all shapes and sizes but that doesn’t mean that you can have the thighs you want.  Just keep doing the exercises listing below and maintaining a healthly low calorie diet and you will see the flab slowly reduce from all over.

Exercises That Tone Thighs That You Can Do At Home

I train many women and the one thing that is for sure, women want to have toned inner thighs.  Though this seems to be one of the biggest problem areas for many there are easy and simple solutions to getting you the thighs you have always wanted.  In fact most of the exercises you need to do can be done at home without needed any gym memberships or fancy workout equipment.

Inner Thigh Exercises To Tone Thighs

Side Lunges:  The side lunge is a version of the standard lunge however instead of stepping forward you will actually step from side to side.  The side lunge can be done with dumbbells or without just using your own body weight.

Single-Leg Circles:  Lay on your back with your arms on the floor palms down.  Take your left leg and left it up in the air as if you were trying to touch the ceiling with your toes.  Inhale and while your legs are in the air trace a circle as if it were on the ceiling starting in a clockwise motion 5 times and then in a counter-clockwise direction.  Make sure you are still and that your hands or hips left up off the floor.

Front Thigh Exercises To Tone Thighs

Step Ups:  Start with a small chair, step, or stair in front of you and begin by lifting your left leg and placing it on the step.  Once your leg is on the step you want to raise your entire body up in the air using your quads muscles in front of your thighs.  Step up and pause before returning to the starting position.  Do several repetitions with one leg before switching and doing the other leg and this also can be done using dumbbells.

Standard Lunges:  Stand straight with your feet about hip-width apart and lunge forward with your right leg making sure to land on your heel and then your forefoot.  You want to lower your body by bending the knee and flexing the hip of the right leg until your left knee almost touches the floor and then return to the starting position.

Rear Thigh Exercises To Tone Thighs

Good mornings:  When doing this exercise you want to start out with little or no weight.  Stand straight up and make sure you squeeze your butt and bend at the hips.  Lower your upper body to the floor until your hands or dumbbells touch it while making sure your back is straight.  Slowly lift back to the starting position using a nice controlled movement and repeat.

Swiss Ball Hamstring Curl:  With a Swiss ball lie on the floor with your feet on the ball.  Raise your butt so that your body will be straight or slightly arched at your back.  Bend your knees while keeping your feet on the ball until they are at a 90 degree angle, the ball will roll with your feet while you are bending.  Hold for about 2-3 seconds making sure that you are not bending at the hips and the roll the ball back to the starting position.

4 Tips for a Super Sexy Swimsuit Figure

 For some summer is almost over while for others it’s just beginning.  Having the perfect swimsuit figure is something a lot of women work hard at, very hard.  I know some are wondering why do an article now on tips for looking in a swimsuit but getting super hot swimsuit body doesn’t just happen overnight.

Set your eyes on your goal and remember it takes time.  Getting a great body is not as hard as some people would have you believe but its certainly is not easy either! 

Let’s Face It

If you are reading this article looking for advice then chances are you didn’t have the body you wanted this summer or you have some things you want to improve upon.  Whichever the case may be I am betting you think you did everything you could and nothing worked.  So let’s look at some tips:

Tip 1: Getting Super Sexy Takes Time

Yes, it takes time a lot of time.  If you want a hot body for the summer you need to start working on it at least 6-7 months ahead of time.  Let’s face it you have bad habits that are going to take time to break and new things you are going to have to make routine.  Starting to get serious about looking great in the summer is probably the number one factor that is keeping you from looking your best.

Tip 2: The Junk Food and Empty Calories (Soda) Must Go

There is no food on Earth that tastes better than you are going to feel when you have the body you want.  Take the time and clean out your refrigator and cabinets of all the junk.  If you don’t want to throw it away then give it to someone who needs it.  I’m sure all of your favorite foods will probably have to go but keeping them has kept you away from something else.

Tip 3: Keep Track of Your Weight and Progression

I’m not saying weigh yourself every single day for the next 6 months but weigh yourself one morning and write it down.  As a few days pass weight yourself again and track your process, if you weight is going down keep up the great work.  If you see that you have not lost any weight make changes by looking back on what you may have done that you shouldn’t have.

Also set your sights on a goal weight that you want to attain.  This may not be that “perfect weight” but set it as a goal and make sure your reach it.  Once at that weight than decide if you wish to lose more weight are not.  So many people don’t realize how much weight they actually need to lose before they will actually look the way they want.

Tip 4: Try on the Swimsuit You’ve Been Eyeing

Go try on the swimsuit that you have been dying to purchase and take a picture of yourself in it. Look at how you look in the photo and use this as the motivation to get where you want to be by summertime.  If you think you already look good in it try to look even better! Don’t wait until it’s time to go to the beach to decide to try on a swimsuit only to discover that you don’t look at all how you imagine you would look.

NOTE: As always with great muscle tone and a slim body the finishing touch is always going to be getting a little sun. Don’t over do it and if you are againt tanning getting a bronzer could be a solution.
