How-to Waist Your Waste

How to waste your waist!

Many ladies want a slim and trim waist, but do not want to take the trouble to obtain it. Here is a short cut fun way to get those inches off without much of a hassle.

Any lady, who is fond of her food soon manages to wobble up to me and complain that her once curvy waist was expandeing exponentially and what is she to do? This immediately brings the discussion to drastic diets, on the lines of one piece of bread and sugar free coffee. One does not have to go to such absurd limits.

Not all of us can claim perfect proportions of 10 in. less than hips and bust. And those who really have those proportions look so absolutely lopsided. Remember Jayne Mansfield, teethering on her heels, well, she had everything, bosom, belly and and bust. And she really looked quite abnormal.

Anyway, always remember that genetically ladies have different proportions in bone structure and if they come from a sturdy boned ancestry, they will have the dimensions to match.

How to look slim instantly.

Stand up straight. Then let your self go and sag in all directions. Plump your shoulders and your stomach down to your hips. That is possibly the normal mode in which the body settles itself, when we are in standing position.

Now slowly straighten up from hips upwards. Begin to stretch all the muscles towards the sky. With your shoulders back, lift your Chin high and act as if you are looking over the shoulder of an imaginary person standing in front of you.

Then tauten your waist and take a deep breath, tucking your tummy in. You will immediately find a magical improvement in your figure, and it will look as if you have lost inches around your waist! Walk with your tummy still tucked in; yes I know it is difficult to remember that for the first 3 -- 4 days, especially the breathing out deeply from the bottom of your lungs, up wards, instead of inhale/exhale, tummy in, tummy out.

The best clothes to wear are shirts and sweaters with a long lean look in them. Wear shirts which skim your waist and which are definitely not form fitting. Don't bring attention to your waist by putting on wide belts.

Some ladies have begun using form fitting under- wear to try to get a streamlined look. But they are quite constricting. And that is why it is more preferable to get back into natural shape.

Don't diet. But if you really need a simple slimming plan , Forget about sugar and starch and carbohydrates for a few weeks. You will notice that the loss of weight shows up on your waistline.

Now, we come to the most tiresome part of limbering up a waist. I hate exercising -- I would rather spend some precious minutes every day planning to start exercising, from today itself and then put it off until tomorrow -- but I found a fun way to exercise, even though I have to do it regularly, only about 10 minutes. Every day. My tolerance limit is exactly that!

It takes just a couple of weeks to show the difference.

Continue breathing normally. Then tuck in your tummy muscles as if you are trying to touch them to your backbone. It is a bit uncomfortable, but as long as you continue breathing normally and do not hold your breath, you will be able to relax. Count upto five. Then relax. Repeat five times. (Two minutes.)

Do this exercise, whenever you are free, and as often as you can because you do not have to take up any special yoga position. Just remember that if you are in a sitting position, sit up straight!

Sit on the floor with your legs and arms stretched straight in front of you. Now, slowly, raising your arms, to keep your balance, lie down upon the floor.

Now, and that is the problem, try to get up from the floor, still using your arms for balance. Count upto 10. Do this exercise three times, and gradually increase the number of times as you see your whole spinal cord becoming flexible as you lose the adipose deposit upon your waist. (Time taken, one minute.)

Stand up straight, with your legs apart. Hold your right hand, pointing to the sky. Keep your left hand, straight at your side. Then slowly bend to the left, with your left hand swinging down your leg. The right hand now has to make an arc like a rainbow, until it lies in the horizontal position. Repeat the same exercise on the other side also. Do this exercise 5 times in both directions. (Time taken -- two minutes.)

Now put on your favorite music. After all you need some relaxation, after all that exertion.

Stand straight, and then suddenly lift up your knee and try to touch it to your stomach. Repeat the exercise (dance) for both knees, as many times as you like. This tones the flab on your thighs. Music means swinging away in all directions, but you stand still. Stretch your arms over your head. Then bend at the waist and dangle your arms down. Swing them between and on the sides of your legs. It is a funny exercise, but amusing. Now start the waist swing flings in both directions. Then straighten up. Put your hands upon the kamar in a hippy hippy shake pose! Now move the whole body to the left and the right without moving your legs. The easiest way to describe this particular exercise rhythm is the mental swinging to Put your right hip in, put your right hip out from left to right.

You can spend as much of time you like upon this exercise, because this is fun.

Last exercise is kneel upon the floor, and put your hands up. Then slowly pull upwards from your waist, count to five, lower your arms and repeat the exercise. (One minute.)

These exercises do not leave you all sweaty and they are enjoyable. And best of all, in a couple of weeks time, you will again have a curve where there were once bulges!
