How to Get a Slimmer Waist
April 25, 2009 Filed Under: Stretching
There are several starting positions to choose from; one way is to use an armchair (with armrests on either side) to sit on during the exercise, but it can be done easily either standing up or sitting on the floor – whichever position suits you best. As long as you’re able to move freely without obstructions.
Method:
- Sit with a straight back in an armchair (or stand or sit on the floor). Let the left arm rest on the armrest to the left, to support you while exercising the right side first.
- Stretch the right arm slowly, straight up above you – keeping your tummy in, back straight and turning the palm of your right hand inward (down toward you and the floor). Try keeping your right arm in toward your ear and breath normally.
- Stretch the right arm even further up as much as possible. You should be able to feel the stretch now from the waist all the way up to the underarm.
- Now begin slowly to move your right arm in and over toward your left side (see illustration) keeping arm and head moving together as one.
- When you’ve stretched over toward the left with your right arm as much as you can, try and stretch a little more just a centimetre or two and hold the position for 20 to 30 seconds.
- Return to the upright position again slowly, bringing your arm back down and straightening your back.
- Now do this exercise with the right arm – remembering to keep your tummy in, back straight and your arm in toward the right ear.
If you feel uncomfortable during this exercise, try bending your arms and back a little. The exercise is easy to do, but if you’re not used to keeping arms and back straight – it may cause discomfort during the first session.
This exercise can be repeated (1 through 7) as follows:
- Day 1: 25 times
- Day 2: 30 times
- Day 3: 40 times
- Day 4: 50 times and so on
Do everything slowly, you don’t have to rush. Relax your shoulders and neck, while keeping a straight back and tum in. Many people forget to breath normally when exercising, it’s important for your well being to breath normally.
How to get a slimmer waist exercise can easily be combined with How to get rid of loose underarm skin. Just 30 minutes of exercising every day can make all the difference to your well being.

Wow, very good advice here about fitness but don’t forget the importance of weight lifting. Even using light weights two or three times a week will go a long way in reducing the natural muscle loss we all have over the age of 30. Like anything, it’s best to get into a routine that you can follow every week. After a few weeks it becomes a natural part of your day!
Great post
This is a great post, we should all keep in mind that motion is the magic potion. Most of alignments can be eliminated by getting active. We are made to move and our body and mind really work more efficiently when they are active.
Great advice here, Thanks

I agree that cardio work needs to be included – but I have been concentrating on weight lifting and the results have been fantastic! Bring on the summer so I can show off my toned muscles!
Here are another 2 breathing exercises that I learned before ^^
1. Tuck In. – Inhale as much as you can. Now try to make your abs as hard as you can can. Don’t let air out yet. Do it for few seconds (when you are starting you won’t be able to do it for 5 seconds, its Ok). Oh you’ll feel dizzy when you start out with this exercise. If you feel dizzy. Sit down and try 3-5 reps of 5 second Breath tuck in.
2. Dragon Breath : This technique is called dragon breath because it looks like you are breathing fire when performing this exercise. Here’s the technique
1. Inhale and fill your lungs
2. Now Make an O with lips (i.e. like whistling) breath out forcefully but slowly. Remember this is not burst of air, instead you are steadily breathing forcefully.
3. When there is no air in your lungs. Try to breathe out once more in last burst in Kai (loud shout, remember karate kid?).
4. Do it few times(4-5 reps).

I am really doing my level best to get rid of this. So guys if you have any suggestion , send it to me.
Hi Gourab.
Sorry to hear about your weight not going down as you want it to. Thing is it takes a little while before the kilo’s start to fall off and if you’re eating properly as well as exercising frequently, it will soon start for you. Don’t give up and be disheartened. We’re with you every step of the way. Take care.— Lucy
I agree with the method but that cardio work needs to be included with this workout. Maybe you can add it in slowly.
