I'm also gonna be showing you the amazing healthy breakfast that they have made for me so you can see how I stay healthy when I'm on vacation. (upbeat techno music) – [Holly] Okay guys, welcome to the top three exercises to get a smaller waist. So the first that we're going into is the classic but the all time favorite. The vacuum exercise. So for this movement, all you wanna do is you wanna inhale as much as you can. Really suck that navel into your spine. And then you wanna exhale out very, very slowly, pushing out your stomach as you go. So what you wanna do, you wanna breath in, nice and slowly. You wanna contract those muscles. And then you wanna exhale, again, nice and slowly, and slowly stop contracting your ab muscles. Now what this is gonna do, it's just gonna help to really get into those deep muscles in your stomach, which is gonna help to get you a nice small waist. So we're just gonna do a couple of reps together here, guys. (upbeat techno music) So breathe in. That's it, as much as you can, really suck that navel in. And then you wanna exhale nice and slowly. In, and then nice and slowly out. (upbeat techno music) Let's inhale in… And then exhale nice and slow. (upbeat techno music) Inhale in. And exhale. (upbeat techno music) Do that again, inhale. And exhale. Excellent guys. Now for the next move, one of my favorites is we're just gonna be turning to the side, and we're literally just gonna move our ribcage back and forth in a diagonal position. So you really wanna make sure that you're not moving your hips and you're just literally moving your ribcage. Let's switch sides. Let's do it again. So keep that navel sucked in, only move that ribcage. Keep those hips nice and still. (upbeat techno music) Excellent. Let's go back again. So, one, two, three, four. That's it, guys, keep going. (upbeat techno music) Let's switch sides, same movement here. Just move that ribcage. (upbeat techno music) Fantastic work, guys. Now we're gonna come down onto the floor and we're just gonna do some side crunches, but with something additional extra. So all you're gonna do is you're gonna be laying slightly twisted on your side, legs crossed over, and you're just gonna crunch up, so down, and up and down. Up, down, really make sure that you are really crunching as you come up. Make sure you're keeping those muscles nice and engaged. Now you're just gonna switch over straight away and work on lifting those legs up and down. For balance and support, bring one hand in front of you, the other hand nice and stretched out. Repeat again, so crunch up, down, up, down. That's it, keep going. We're just doing 10 of these and then we're gonna go back to those leg lifts. (upbeat techno music) And then leg lift, two three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Amazing work, guys. Let's switch over straight away onto the other side. So let's start with those side crunches. Ten of those again. So you wanna come crunch up and down. That's it, keep going (upbeat techno music) Make sure to exhale every single crunch. (upbeat techno music) Let's go into those leg lifts. So up, down, up, down. Make sure you have some additional support with that hand in front. Back to those crunches, guys. (upbeat techno music) And then those leg lifts. (upbeat techno music) Amazing work, guys, and well done for completing the three exercises for a small waist. I hope you really did enjoy this. And don't forget I would start up again with about 12 to 15 reps per exercise and work your way up. – So if you guys liked this video, and the beautiful view from the Votsalaki Resort, then don't forget to hit that like and subscribe button.
