On the hunt for a new workout? 7 waist exercises that top PTs swear by for tightening and toning

A woman doing waist exercises.

Keen to strengthen and tone your waist? Then look no further, because the PT-approved waist exercises listed in this guide - which will target your core as a whole and, in particular, your obliques - can help you do exactly that. 

Many people choose to complete waist exercises for functional goals (we’re looking at you, improved posture, balance and core stability) while others decide to tick off waist workouts for aesthetical reasons. If you’re doing so for the latter, it’s important to know: no amount of side bends, Russian twists or standing oblique crunches alone will help you create a toned waist. Other factors, like genetics, diet and training history all have a part to play.
