I am having some good results using a new idea I have not tried before.
It is called the Ron Watson Isometric Ab Flexor workout. Must be named after some very smart dude.
There are 4 positions. Start by standing with your back leaning against a wall, feet flat, and shoulder width. Drape around your neck: an Isobelt, a rope, a towel, or a belt. Grab it with hands chin high. Tuck your hips forward while tensing and continue to try to tuck even more over at least ten seconds, but try for a much longer hold. When your body says enough, you will feel it cramp. You pull lightly on the belt.
Second position; back against the wall, feet flat on the floor, hands still holding each end of the belt about chin high with the elbows tucked down and in. Tense the upper abs in the same manner as you did the lower abs. Take small, quick breaths, then keep trying to tense harder and harder with each breath. When you abs cramp, you have completed the second step.
The third position: lean left shoulder on the wall, weight mostly on the left foot. The right foot is on the toes as you lift the right hip as high as possible. Point your chin over the right side obliqes, and flex as you did the last position. Do it the same length as you did position two.
The fourth position is just doing the other side. So exchange the words right with left, and follow the previous directions for step three.
Let me know if this helps you tighten up your waist as it is tightening mine.
