How to Do Each Exercise
- Stomach Vacuum Stand or sit tall. Exhale all air from your lungs and pull your belly button toward your spine as far as possible. Hold while breathing lightly. Best done first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
- Plank Forearm position, body straight from head to heels. Squeeze your core and glutes.
- Russian Twists Sit with knees bent, lean back slightly, and twist side to side. Keep your core tight.
- Bicycle Crunches Lie on your back, hands behind head. Bring opposite elbow to knee while extending the other leg.
- Side Plank Lie on one side, lift hips so your body forms a straight line. Keep hips stacked.
- Dead Bugs Lie on back, arms and legs up. Slowly lower opposite arm and leg while keeping your lower back pressed into the floor.
- Flutter Kicks Lie on back, lift legs slightly off the ground and kick them up and down in small, quick movements.
Pro Tips for Faster Results
- Focus on quality form over speed.
- Engage your core in every exercise — pretend someone is about to punch your stomach.
- Combine this with daily walking (8,000+ steps) and a calorie deficit for visible waist reduction.
- Take weekly waist measurements (morning, before eating).
- Do this workout consistently for 30 days — results are very noticeable.
Bonus Daily Habit
End the workout with 1 minute of good posture practice: Stand tall against a wall, shoulders back, core gently engaged.
Final Thought: A smaller waist is built in the kitchen and refined in these short daily sessions. 10 minutes is enough if you stay consistent!
