Ways to exercise more

I need an easy way to reduce my waist and tummy..?

I'm a middle-aged woman. I'm not overweight. I normally don't eat fattening food, I don't eat sweets and try to eat vegetables and salad as much as I can. But, sometimes, when I eat more than I should and I gain a few pounds, apparently they all go to my waist and tummy. It's very difficult for me to lose them because I don't have much time to exercise, not to mention the fact that I have a little problem with my spine so I have to be careful. Does anybody know about a fast and easy exercise that can help me reduce my waist and stomach? Something I could do, let's say, in the mornings or in the evenings? Please, I need serious and accurate answers. If you plan to make a joke, abstain from replying. Thanks a lot!! .

1. I was going to say 20 situps every eveing will reduce your tummy alot but with ur spine can you use an exercise ball? or maybe you could take up water areobics on the weekend or a day after work in the week?
2. Do the Special K diet. It works well and you lose about 6 pounds in 2 weeks! But make sure that you exercise about 30 a day. Cardiovascular exercises are the best way to lose weight such as jogging, jump rope, etc. Hope this helps! Good luck! :] Annissa
3. Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals. Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day. U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.
4. Here is what I do. You may want to reduce the weight to begin with and work your way up. It is a high intensity ab excercise. It hurts like hell, but it only takes a few minutes a day and you will tone up and lose anything in no time if you pair it with the sensible eating that you say you have. You need one of those incline benches. I put the bench halfway on the bar (there are different heights you can set the bench, you know?) so my feet are basically about 2 and a half to three feet off the ground (if you looked at it without the bench, you know?) OK so you are on an incline with your feet higher than your head. Take an 8 pound medicine ball. Hold the medicine ball as you go up for the crunch. Do this slow and concentrated, really think about the muscles. Throw the ball when you get to the top of the crunch. Come back down slowly. Do this ten times. Flip around so your head is higher than your feet. Ditch the medicine ball. Do ten reverse crunches (keep note you are still on an incline so it is really intense!) Then go immediately into ten three-count scissor kicks. Do three sets of this routine every other day. Hope this helps!
