Looking for amazing ab definition? Tried workouts in the past that fell short of your goals? Looking to tone your abs and slim your waist but aren’t too sure how to do it? You might be missing the mark in your workouts by aiming a little too high. The key to a slimmer, more sculpted midsection is focusing your efforts on the hardest part of your abs to train – the lower abdominals. The lower part of your rectus abdominis is typically the hardest to train because there are only certain movements that effectively activate it; otherwise the upper part of your abs takes over (up around your ribs). This results in great strength and tone a little higher, but the lower part can stay a little “poochy”… and that’s no bueno. Today on Tone-and-Tighten.com I’m sharing with you 5 of my best workouts to sculpt your lower abs. You’ll tone and tighten things up resulting in a slimmer, sexier midsection! Starts right now – here we go! …

“Waist training.” I’m sure you’ve heard of it; maybe even seen it a few places (thank you Kardashian sisters and social media feeds worldwide). If you haven’t seen it, it’s basically a corset. You cinch up a piece of fabric around your middle that keeps everything “sucked in” and “tight”. While this is a great temporary fix and will help you with your figure for one night or the duration of the time wearing it, there is actually zero evidence that it helps in the long run. By simple wearing one of these “waist trainers” you’re not burning any calories, strengthening any core muscles (you’re actually weakening them as you rely on the corset to perform their role in core stabilization), or losing any inches. Basically, there are a lot better uses of your time… like exercising…

I’ve got your “waist training” right here! If you’re looking to whittle your middle, increase core strength, and get that “hourglass” figure you’ve always desired, don’t reach for the waist trainer… reach for your exercise mat instead!

If you’re looking for real-life “waist training” then buckle up – you’ve just landed in the right spot!!…
