Hello loves, hope you all is well I'm doing amazing. So as promised by the tittle I'm going to talk about getting that waist snatched. Before we get into it , It's important to know with all things fitness genetics do play a major role in how our body changes but you can still work your way around it so don't get discouraged. Some are born with it, some of us just have to work a little hard to get it.
I'll be breaking this up into three parts , so lets get into it:
1. NUTRITION
- Getting a smaller waist requires you to change your diet and lose fat around the abdominal area. Being in a caloric deficit (read in my beginners top 6 tips to losing weight link here).
- Food high in fiber (oats and green veggies) and healthy fats (avocado, omega3-6-9 and nuts) is good to incorporate in your diet. Fiber helps in normal bowel movements and it keeps you fuller for longer and healthy fats aid in minimizing fat accumulation in the abdominal area.
- Drink water before every meal, it will fill you up and you won't eat as much as you would. And increase your water intake during the day.
- Avoid a lot of processed foods, as these will make you to pile on a lot of weight and fat easily.
2. EXERCISING
- Do core exercises that target the transverse and rectus abdominal muscles, exercises such as planks and leg raises are a good choice.
- Work on your chest, back and shoulders, growing these areas will create an hour glass figure giving you an illusion of a small waist.
- Also growing your lower body (Glutes and Legs) will create that hourglass illusion.
3.CLOTHING
- Waist trainers and corsets help in shaping your waist but you can't just wear corsets and not do the other two ( exercising and nutrition), they go hand in hand. Even though I haven't tried any , I've seen it work with some people.
- A-line clothing also gives you that small waist and wide hips , try and add this silhouette into your wardrobe.
- High-waisted clothing also help in bringing that waist in.
Thank you for stopping by once again. Hope you got something out of this blog.
