SHF seeks smaller, more defined waist

I am following the ft routine which suggest doing 2 sets of 15 reps of seated twists. This is not enough. What else can I do? I have a 26-27 waist. I want a 24!!

The reason you have a boyish figure (I've got the same square build) is because you have narrow hips, not a wide waist. Check your body fat and trim up if you want to, it may help. -------------- Think you can or think you can't; either way you're right--Goethe

If your fat is just around your waist, with proper diet and training it will come off. Seated twists will not produce fat loss there. May build a little muscle around there, which may result in some fat loss just by what muscle does, but that is all. Here is a thought, work on widening your back and shoulders. This will build muscle there for aiding in fat loss, and will give the appearance of a smaller waist. Sometimes we have to change other parts of our body to compensate for a stubborn one. -------------- The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary!
