Abstract: This paper presents connections between Gromov's work on isoperimetry of waists and Milman's work on the $M$-ellipsoid of a convex body. It is proven that any convex body $Ksubseteqmathbb{R}^n$ has a linear image $ildeKsubseteqmathbb{R}^n$ of volume one satisfying the following waist inequality: Any continuous map $f:ildeKightarrowmathbb{R}^{ell}$ has a fiber $f^{-1}(t)$ whose $(n-ell)$-dimensional volume is at least $c^{n-ell}$, where $c>0$ is a universal constant. In the specific case where $K=[0,1{]}^n$ it is shown that one may take $ildeK=K$ and $c=1$, confirming a conjecture by Guth. We furthermore exhibit relations between waist inequalities and various geometric characteristics of the convex body $K$.
