I want a waist!!

[Alixw]

Hi, I'm 5' 7", weigh just under 9 stone, so not what you would call over weight, but looking in  the mirror last night realised that i dont really have much of a waist, i'm just kind of straight!! I was wondering if there are any exercises i could do to help give me more of a waist, or at least look like i have one?

I am presuming you are female.  I always wished I had more of a waist.  Like you I was tall and slim and had a straightish figure.  Mens' Levi jeans fitted a treat.  If it is your basic shape I doubt if excercises would really help.  Just make the most of your slimness.  It's a great shape for Jeans and you can wear lots of feminine tops which are shaped to accentuate your waist.  I never found many skirts that are particularly flattering.

If you want more of a waist then whatever you do, DON'T do loads of sit-ups as they have the opposite effect!  

Best thing for creating a waist is either control underwear, corset style tops or, strangely enough, a wonder bra gives the illusion of a narrower waist.
