Who doesn’t want a tighter, slimmer waist? This short but sweet waist trimming workout will tighten up your midsection in less time than it takes to put on your workout clothes! Combining two plank variations, this non-stop workout will work your midsection from both the fronts and the sides making it not only time-efficient but very effective.

Step 1 – Lie on your left side with your legs straight and resting your weight in your bent arm. Lift your hips up so your shoulders, hips and feet are aligned. Hold this position but not your breath for 30 seconds.

Step 2 – Quickly roll on to your front and rest on both arms so you look like you are reading a book at the beach. Lift your hips up so your body is straight and your weight is supported on your arms and feet only. Hold this position for 30 seconds.

Step 3 – Roll onto your right side with your legs straight and resting your weight in your bent arm. Lift your hips up so your shoulders, hips and feet are aligned. Hold this position but not your breath for 30 seconds.

Step 4 – Immediately repeat the left/front/right-side plank sequence holding each position for 20 seconds

Step 5 – Immediately repeat the left/front/right-side plank sequence holding each position for 10 seconds

If you got your timings right, you should have just completed three minutes of non-stop exercise!
