When you want to slim your waistline and sculpt a stronger core, floor exercises can be your saving grace. These simple but productive movements stimulate your abs while toning your waist. The good news is that by establishing a consistent workout routine, you can start seeing results within a month. In honor of that, we’ve rounded up the best floor-based ab workouts to help you slim down your waistline in 30 days.
Pilates

Pilates is a great workout method to stimulate your body, and the addition of infrared heat promotes deeper engagement of the abdominals. “Moves like planks, Russian twists, and leg lifts are great for sculpting the waist,” says Stephen Smith, CPTand CEO/Founder of HOT WORX.
Yoga


Get ready to put on your namaste! Yoga exercises that involve a twisting movement, like the revolving triangle and chair twist, are great for engaging your oblique muscles. “Heat also makes stretching easier, helping you achieve a more toned, slimmer waistline with prolonged movements,” adds Smith.
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)


High-intensity interval training (HIIT) involves short bursts of intense cardiovascular exercise with brief rest periods. Exercises like burpees, high knees, mountain climbers, and jump squats increase the number of calories burned in a short period of time.
“Try a HIIT session under infrared heat to increase your metabolism and target stubborn belly fat,” suggests Smith.
Resistance training


Training with resistance bands, weights, or suspension straps provides additional core-sculpting options. “For example, kettlebell swings provide a great functional upper and lower body workout and are great for the waist at the same time,” Smith tells us.
According to Smith, a complete workout routine should include at least two heated isometric sessions and one to two heated HIIT sessions per week for best results.
