There are no specific exercises for spot fat reduction. This idea is one of the oldest, most exploited myths in the fitness industry. The accumulation of belly fat is almost entirely regulated by genetics. Some people are programmed to put it on in their belly first and fastest. The first place it goes on will be the last place it comes off. For males it's usually our stomach, for women it's typically in their breasts.
There are 3 steps you can take to improve your waist, though.
1. Diet and cardio. Getting lean overall will make your waist smaller, eventually. It's sort of a "no shit, asshole" statement, but it bares repeating. Especially if you can get down to single digit body fat and reverse diet your way back up into the teens. Putting on body fat slower rather than in a short period of time tends to cause a more even distribution of adipose tissue in the body.
2. Waist training. A lot of guys are sensitive about this concept, as waist training is still seen as a feminine endeavor. But nonetheless, waist training works. Squeams and similar waist belts use compression to shorten the transverse abdominal muscles which, over time, leads to a reduced circumference around the waist. Getting over the stigma attached to wearing a waist training device for a man would probably benefit bodybuilding as a whole. The bloated, huge gut look in bodybuilding is only making everyone that's associated with the industry look ridiculous.
3. Anavar- I'm actually a little loathe to include this one because it's still slightly controversial, and I don't want to be the guy that always suggests more drugs as the first solution. There have been one or 2 studies, in humans I might add, that have shown Anavar to have the ability to target and burn stomach fat. The jury is still out somewhat, but I feel that it is worth considering for those that want to focus on their midsection, especially since Anavar is commonly used during cutting cycles anyway. The fact is, if you're going to be using gear during a cutting cycle, Anavar should probably be the AAS of choice.
Interesting on the anavar statements.
Have you noticed it effecting your sex drive and possibly lowering it whilst on the anavar?
Hey what's your weight and height?
I might inform you about a few techniques that I used When I was above 100KGs.
But for that I need to know your current status.
Jump rope or swim. Did that for rugby. Great muscle and fat burning combo, if your diets right.

Hey Grace, I personally do not like recommending compounds to females unless it is necessary. With that said, a popular thing here in San Diego is cool sculpting. You can also do it at home with ice packs and if done properly will show results in about 4 weeks. I will be trying it on myself and logging just for the hell of it, but give it a shot.
