7 Exercises for a Flat Belly and a Thin Waist You Can Even Do While Sitting in a Chair

To get a fit body before summer, we have to make ourselves go to the gym. But sometimes we don't have enough willpower or time to get up and do that. The solution to this problem is pretty simple. Try to do these exercises while sitting in a chair.

Bright Side gathered some core and waist exercises that you can do in the office or in front of the TV at home.

1. Warming up

This exercise helps warming up our muscles because even if our workout lasts for 5 minutes, we have to be prepared.

Exercise technique:

1. Sit at the edge of a chair, put your hands on your knees.
2. Smoothly lean back contracting the abdominals and keeping your back straight. Your back can touch the chair's back, but don't put your weight on it.
3. Slowly return to the starting position.
4. Do 10-12 reps.

2. Twists for your obliques

This exercise involves oblique muscles and helps to make them strong.

Exercise technique:

1. The starting position here is the same.
2. Bend your arms and place them behind your head.
3. Rotate your trunk to the right. Keep your legs and hips straight and still. Hold for 3 seconds and rotate to the left.
4. Do 10 reps for each side.

   3. Leaning forward

   

   This exercise works on abs just as well as traditional twists.

   Exercise technique:

   1. Place your hands behind your head, clasp your fingers.
   2. Slowly lean forward and return back. Don't help yourself with your arms when you tilt.
   3. Do 15 reps.

   4. Pull your knees toward your chest

   

   This exercise works on the obliques, the rectus abdominis muscle, and even the muscles of the hip.

   Exercise technique:

   1. The starting position: you sit in a chair as comfy as possible.
   2. Pull one bent leg to your chest, take your knee with your hands, and stay in this position for 3 seconds.
   3. Return to the starting position.
   4. Do 15 reps for each leg.

      5. Pulling your knees to your chest and straightening your legs

      

      To have great abs, you have to involve your legs. Make sure your chair is steady before you start.

      Exercise technique:

      1. Lean back in your chair and put your legs together.
      2. Pull your knees to your chest and hold for 3 seconds.

      5. Repeat this exercise 10 times.

      6. Bent knee rotations

      

      This exercise works the abs very well.

      Exercise technique:

      1. The starting position: the same as in the previous exercise.
      2. Pull your bent knees to the chest.
      3. Start rotating your legs. Make sure your whole leg works (not just the toes) because it's the best way to pump your abs.
      4. Do 10 rotations for each side.

      7. "Scissors"

      

      This six pack exercise also involves the muscles of the hip.
