6 exercises to reduce waist and burn abdominal fat

One of the great challenges you can achieve with these exercises is to get rid of your love handles and slim your waist.

Many women want to have a small and a wasp waist and a slim silhouette in a short time. To achieve this, the first and most necessary thing is to improve lifestyle habits.

The two main factors that affect the accumulation of fat in your body are diet and exercise, as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).

To help define your waist, try these exercises.

2. From this position, slowly turn to the right while touching the floor near your hips, then return to the center and continue with the left to complete one repetition.
