Exercise To Target Waist

[rowanwitch]

Any suggestion, I can use the assisted weights machines for everything else but just need to cover the middle bit. Can't do sit ups or lying down stuff as I would have trouble getting up from the floor.

What about a toning table?

You can't really target waist loss. Just tone up as much as you can and hope the weight goes from the areas you want it to.

side-bends seem to be a gentle exercise.
I think you're supposed to add weights and increase the weight over time.
A weight in one hand and side-bend with other arm over head and then swap.

Hula Hoop, not expensive. Make sure you get the right size and it is weighted.
Found this link, think you may be surprised.

Thanks, forgot side bends, hula hoop maybe not I never could do that... can't target weight loss but I can target tone, already improved a number of areas loads of weight to lose but want to tone as I go.

Won't exercising muscle build it up bigger ?
Good luck anyway.

The Hula hoop is one of the exercises at my fitness class, new members always say they cannot do it, but persevere each week, not one of them has failed. The men are the funniest to watch but they get there as well. The same with the skipping.

An easy exercise ,without using weights,is to breathe out and at the same time tense your stomach muscles, hold for a count of ten,then relax and breathe in. Do as many reps as you feel comfortable with.This exercise can be done while sitting.
