How to Loose 2-4 Inches off Your Waistline

Hundreds of crunches and leg lifts are not going to help you achieve a smaller waist, but fat reduction will. When you gain fat, you cannot determine where it is going to be stored. The same goes for losing fat. To reduce fat from any body part, you have to focus on your entire body. Once your body starts reducing in fat, your tummy will shed inches as well.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tInstructions

Get a handle on your stress levels. Practice deep breathing and meditation to maintain a relaxed state. Constant increased stress levels stimulate the release of the stress hormone cortisol in your body. Cortisol is linked to cravings for unhealthy fattening foods and weight gain, especially around the waist.

Clean up your eating habits. Avoid high-calorie and high-fat foods that make you gain weight. Remove unhealthy foods from your home. Stock up on vegetables and fruits. Get omega-3 fatty acids from fish such as salmon and tuna. Eat oatmeal, brown rice and whole-grain bread for fiber. Drink water instead of alcohol and sugary sodas, which are low in nutrients and high in calories.

Eat a small meal every three hours to keep your metabolism activated. Consume five or six small meals over the duration of the day. Frequent eating provides your body with consistent energy and makes you feel less deprived, resulting in fewer cravings.

Walk, run, bike or swim to increase your metabolism and whittle away body fat. Gradually increase your physical activity. Start by exercising 20 minutes, three days per week and increase this to 45 minutes, four days per week as you get stronger. Avoid boredom by switching it up and participating in group sports or aerobics classes. Use an exercise DVD if you don't want to leave the house for your exercise session.

Strength train on two days of the week to increase muscle tissue. Muscles activate your metabolism even when you aren't exercising. Work all the large muscles of your body with compound exercises such as lunges, squats, push-ups and bench dips. Include a variety of stomach exercises to tighten your tummy muscles. Perform sit ups, reverse crunches, bicycle crunches and the plank exercise.

Suck in your tummy to help reduce inches off your waist. Sucking in your tummy targets the transverse abdominal muscles, which hold your waist together like a corset. Exhale through your mouth and pull your tummy inward. Hold the tummy sucked in, but breathe as you normally do. Hold the contraction for 20 second in the first week, for 40 seconds in the second week and 60 seconds during the third week. Perform three sets of this exercise on three nonconsecutive days, every week.
