Most people who want to lose weight and improve their fitness have a specific goal in mind, and that goal is often to reduce the size of their waist. This is a very sensible goal, as your wellness and wellbeing are intrinsically linked to the size of your waist. Those who have larger waists are at increased risk of all kinds of health conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease.
There are some simple moves that can help you to lose up to eight inches off your waist. These are tried and tested by Molly Fox, who created the popular Skinny Jeans Workout, a class that is taught specifically to help women lose weight off their hips, thighs, bums and bellies.
Most of all, squats are highly recommended. To do a squat, stand straight with your feet around hip distance apart, and make sure that your toes are turned out a little. Hold a weight in each hand. Each weight should be around three pounds, and your arms should be by your sides. Lower your body down into a squat, making sure that your upper body stays as upright as it possibly can. As you squat down, reach your arms forward, and then return to starting position. Do this 20 times. Your knees should be over your second toes as you squat, and you should tighten the muscles in your inner thigh to stop your toes turning outwards. The knees should not come over the toes, as this is very bad for the knees and back and can cause injury.
