How to Lose Waist Fat Fast

If you have extra waist fat, you should hit the dance floor.  That's right, dancing is a great way to shimmy down the fat on your waistline.  There are certain dances in particular that pump up the heart rate, and have lots of hip action.  Learning these dances is not only fun, but really good for your body.  You can sign up for a class to learn the moves, or you can get videos on DVD that incorporate fitness moves into creative dance styles.  It is no lie, you can dance your way to a skinny waist.

• Dance salsa

Salsa is a popular Latino style dance that has some speedy fancy foot work and plenty of hip motion.  The music is lively, and if you have Latino roots, why not learn the dance?  If you don't have Latino roots, why not learn the dance?  It is fun and can really work up a sweat.  These can be very sexy moves, so once your learn them, you can take them on the dance floor with your significant other and wow them.  No to mention that you will be wearing smaller clothes to fit your new waist!

• Dance hula

This is a Hawaiian dance that uses the legs, waist and hips a great deal.  You can learn the moves slowly and contract your muscles for a strength training workout.  You can also do hula moves faster for a cardio workout.  Some of the moves are great for the oblique muscles and abdominals as well.  You can get a full body workout with hula dancing because you will tell a story with your hands, as well as strengthen your legs.

• Dance hip-hop

This is an American dance that younger generations really get into.  There are tons of different slick moves that work every part of the body.  A lot of these moves are faster pace and you need good coordination for them.  There can also be a lot of waist movement. You can certainly work up a sweat dancing hip-hop, and depending on what moves you do, tone muscles.

Not everyone is into music and dancing, I know.  It's alright if you "have two left feet" and just can't catch on to dance moves, there are other ways to trim your waist fat.  Other exercises include side-bends, oblique tilts, and knee lifts. You may even prefer following a successful diet plan such as fat loss for idiots. There's a great review on it here.

To do side bends, stand with your legs hips' width apart.  Place your hands on your hips.  Extend and reach your left arm over your head, and bend your body to the right.  Come back to the starting position and do the same thing using your right arm.  Repeat these actions until you are fatigue.  This exercise will tone down your waist fat after only a week.

To do oblique tilts, you should again stand with your legs hips' width apart.  Bring your hands to chest level and point your bent elbows out so that you form a straight line from elbow to elbow.  Tilt your body from the waist to the left side so that your elbow almost touches your body.  Hold it there for a moment and come back to the starting position.  Do the same thing on your right side.  Repeat this 5 to 10 times.  You can do this exercise standing up or sitting down, just make sure your back is straight at the starting position.

Knee lifts can also help you to lose waist fat.  Stand with your legs shoulders' width apart with your hands on your hips.   Bend your left knee to waist height and bring it down to about an inch above the floor.  Raise and lower it ten times and rest.  Now do the same thing with the right leg.
