Yoga

Posture
Stand up straight and hold your stomach in. Good posture is taught to young children yet as we get older we tend to forget how to maintain a correct posture. It goes beyond aesthetic purpose but also helps strengthen and tone your abdominal muscles. Thus, it keeps your stomach from bulging out. It instantly makes your stomach look slimmer and your waist smaller.

Ab exercises

You will need to variety of moves to target different muscles such as crunches, side bends, torso twists and hip extensions. Always remember to exhale forcefully on the crunch and squeeze your muscles as much as you can.

Exercise
Ab exercises alone won’t give you a smaller waist. Your time and efforts put into toning your muscles go to waste if they’re hidden underneath a layer of fat. It will only help pull things in and firm you up. If you don’t burn fat, you will still have that “jiggle of fat instead of a toned look.. Some women prefers a soft tummy but if you don’t like jiggling tummy then you need to burn fat to let the muscles show.
Go for exercises such as rowing, swimming, and walking to enable your body to go into fat burning mode, which is a requirement to lose inches around your waist.

Computer time
Be conscious of your posture when you are behind your computer. Chances are, your slumped posture tends to let your stomach bulge out thus your stomach develops a pooch.

Detoxify
Toxins present in your system can build up in your intestines thus causes you to be bloated. You need to cleanse and detoxify your body to eliminate these wastes. Try a detox such as the Master Cleanse.

Reduce stress
Did you know stress signals the body to produce a hormone called cortisol that stimulates storage of fat in the midsection? Stress can also cause improper digestion leading to gas and bloating. Try yoga and meditation to help you cope better with stress. It is also recommended that you try to assess what causes the stress and decide the steps to take to eliminate it.

Patience
The process of shrinking your midsection fat and getting a slimmer waist takes time so try to be patient. No specific drug or plan will target fat reduction of your waist. Your waist size is a good indicator of your overall health. Thus, you need to eat healthy, drink plenty of fluid, perform toning exercises and lead a stress-free lifestyle as much as possible. The first place you tend to gain weight is the last place to lose it. Stick to your weight loss plan and be patient with it.

Don’t eat late at night.
Your body starts to prepare into sleep mode after 8 pm. Your metabolism gradually slows down late during the night. When you eat late at night, it causes more fat stored in your waist and stomach. Refrain from eating 3 hours before you go to bed. If ever hunger sets in late during the night, opt to have something healthy like a piece of fruit or a handful of nuts.
