Unique Exercise To Help Flatten Your Belly
it’s a simple exercise that you can do anytime, pretty much anywhere to help you get a flat stomach over time.
It is presented by Mike Geary, Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer and author of The Truth About Six Pack Abs.
Although this exercise does NOT increase fat burning, it can still help to flatten your stomach by strengthening those deep transverse abdominal muscles, resulting in “pulling in” a lazy belly.
Mike calls the exercise “ab vacuums”.
Of course, ab vacuums can be done anywhere, pretty much at any time (well don’t do them immediately after eating if reflux is a problem). They are simple to do…
You can do them seated, standing, lying flat on the floor, or even kneeling in a four-point position.
Get in the habit of doing ab vacuums – and do them regularly.
The movement is as simple as pulling your belly button in as far as you can by imagining you are trying to touch your belly button to your spine and holding for 10-20 seconds at a time.
Start by inhaling deeply. Then, as you exhale, pull the belly button in towards the spine. Hold it there for 10-20 seconds while taking short breaths. Repeat for several holds.
Get in the habit of doing this at least 4-5 days per week and you may find that this helps to flatten your stomach more by strengthening that transverse abdominal muscle (the deep abdominal muscles beneath the abs) if you previously had a “lazy belly” – that belly bulge you are fighting.
Since this exercise doesn’t increase fat burning – it only helps to flatten muscles – if you want a true “six pack abs” appearance, you obviously still need to burn off the body fat that covers your abs.
For that, you’ll need encompassing workout programs (not just ab exercises), a strategic nutrition program, and the right mindset for success. Mike Geary has just that.
