When setting out to trim the waist, many people go straight to crunches. While this waist reduction exercise can certainly help build muscle and make your waistline look a bit trimmer, it isn't a magic pill. Include aerobic exercise along with your exercises to reduce waist size.

1. Aerobic Exercise

Video of the Day

Unfortunately, it's impossible to "spot reduce" a particular problem area, as explained by the American Council on Exercise. Running, bicycling, rowing and swimming are great aerobic workouts, but anything that brings your heart rate up to the target rate for at least 20 minutes will do the trick. Want to up the ante? Incorporate HIIT cardio, or high-intensity interval training, as explained by the American College of Sports Medicine, where you go all out for a period of time, and then dial back the intensity. Alternate this pattern for 20 to 30 minutes.

2. Side Bend

In addition to aerobic workouts, a regimen of waist-slimming exercises such as the side bend, tighten and tone the waist as you lose pounds and inches. As strength improves, add a dumbbell, as demonstrated by ExRx.net. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Place one hand on your hip and hold a dumbbell in the other. Bend at the side, letting your hand with the weight reach toward the floor. Be careful not to move the hips so that your obliques (muscles along your side) are getting the workout. Do 15 to 20 repetitions, and then switch sides.

3. Bicycle Crunch

Bicycle crunches simultaneously crunch the stomach while you extend your legs.

Lie on the floor with your hands behind your head and your knees bent, as if preparing for a regular crunch. Raise your legs into a "table-top" position, with your knees bent and your shins parallel to the floor. As you raise your upper body to complete a crunch, twist at the waist and bring your elbow in toward the opposite knee. Extend the other leg out straight as you touch the opposite elbow and knee to each other. Twist back to center and bring the leg back to its original position; then repeat on the other side. Do 20 to 30 repetitions.

4. Waist Crunch

Waist crunches work your abdominal muscles and the side muscles, or obliques.

Start out lying on the floor as if prepared for a regular crunch, with your hands behind your head and the knees bent. Bend at the waist, keeping your shoulders flat on the floor. Allow your legs to fall to one side, with one leg resting on the ground and the other leg on top. To work the muscles, keep your upper body straight, and perform a crunch. After 20 to 30 repetitions, move your legs back to center, then to the other side of your body and repeat the exercise.

5. Waist Twist

Another exercise used to strengthen the abdominal and oblique muscles is the waist twist. Lie on the floor with your knees in table-top position and your palms flat against the floor. Keeping your upper body straight, slowly lower your legs to one side, maintaining the bent-knee position. Lower your legs far as possible without actually touching the floor or twisting your the waist. Pause for a moment, then slowly raise the legs back to a table-top position. Pause for a moment, and repeat on the other side. Do 20 to 30 repetitions.
