I love to change things up.
It keeps boredom at bay, invigorates the brain, and challenges our muscles in a new way.
Today, by using resistance bands as opposed to just using body weight, we will be putting tension on the waist muscles to help sculpt them into a longer, leaner look.
You can find the resistance bands I use regularly and recommend here. They come in a number of resistance levels so you can choose what works best for you.
If you’re not getting the results you want with your mid-section, it’s time to seek out help!
Are you including all of these tips for keeping a toned waistline?
- Aim for two to three days of core targeted workouts a week, leaving a day of rest in between.
- Be sure to be getting your 30 minutes of cardio 5 days a week to keep your metabolism burning those extra calories.
- Pay attention to NO-NO foods. Choices like processed foods (chips, packaged bakery items, cereals, etc.) sweet drinks and sodas, white flour, sugar, unhealthy fats, all contribute to a growing waist line.
- Reduce stress, as the cortisol created from it consistently can be stored as fat in the abdominal area.
- Get your recommended 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night. An important reason is to help maintain hormone, cortisol and insulin levels that again can increase cravings and bad choices for our diet.
Resistance bands are a fantastic tool for toning your waist!
They’re portable, affordable, and highly effective in engaging your core muscles.
