Many diet programs will never share such a secret with you.
Maybe they don’t want you to know this simple trick because they’re afraid of losing a customer, or maybe they don’t know any better.
Fortunately for readers looking for such information, I’m going to share this insider secret for free.
Just to briefly introduce myself to this topic, I’ll give you a quick overview about me and why I know this kind of information.
I am a real customer myself and I am lucky to have Mike Geary, a professional and certified nutritionist who is also my personal trainer to help me in my health program.
I started seeking his advice and actually got into his training program after getting bored with my beer belly, even though I haven’t had a beer in what seems like decades! This simple exercise will probably surprise you because it does NOT burn fat by itself, but the results will speak for themselves, once you start to flatten your stomach.
This simple but effective exercise is called “abdominal vacuums.”
In Mike’s own professional words, he says that this “tummy tuck” exercise helps immensely in tightening lazy stomach muscles that will be toned through this type of physical activity. He even wrote a Physical Training Guide and goes into detail explaining exactly why this develops and the exact methods needed to circumvent such another occurrence.
Through its simplicity and my personal hectic daily work life, I have found that the best time for me is to do it while driving on my daily commute.
Now a word of warning: doing it while driving may not be for everyone. Make sure you remain a safe driver.
If you find that this exercise may distract from your driving ability, do not attempt this exercise while driving.
After all, this exercise can be done anywhere and at any time of day you prefer.
The crunch exercise strengthens the deeper transversus abdominis muscles and therefore pushes back that “beer belly” as I like to call it.
The main reason I chose to do them while driving is that no matter what posture you’re in, you can do them standing up or even sitting down. It also makes my obligatory boring daily commute worthwhile as I don’t waste precious time just driving, but also get some exercise on my commute.
So let’s move on to this simple procedure for this ab workout.
I’ll break it down into four simple steps for you to follow:
- Step 1: Start by inhaling as deeply as you can.
- Step 2: Begin to exhale, while pulling your stomach in as far as possible.
- Tip: Try to imagine that you are being challenged to try to touch your spine with your belly in. This works wonders for me.
- Step 3: Hold this position for about 10 seconds (at first) while taking a short breath.
- Step 4: Repeat this procedure several times.
It’s! You just managed to do the “Ab vacuum” exercise successfully.
An advice…
As with all workouts, start slowly and increase the intervals when you feel like the exercise is getting too easy for you.
For example, start by contracting your belly for about 10 seconds before increasing this interval to a longer period, say 15 or 20 seconds, as you get used to this simple but very effective exercise.
As I mentioned earlier, this exercise does not increase fat burning, it just helps you flatten that bulging stomach that has deep, lazy abdominal muscles.
If you really want to have a deep tummy line with those strong “cut abs”, you need more help in the form of a professional training program, definitely much more than this simple exercise.
Remember that there is no real price tag when it comes to your health and looking healthy and attractive. You will need to do some weekly exercise and eat properly. The funny thing I’ve learned through my own personal experience is that you can still eat just about anything you want, as long as it’s in moderation when you’re training weekly for just a few minutes a day. Our bodies can maintain good tone as long as the correct exercises are done.
A good typical example would be the belly projection, where through misinformation and logical sense I would suggest that most people think they should start doing a lot of sit-ups. That can’t be further from the truth, unfortunately. Sit-ups will tone your abdominal muscles, but they will still be below your belly bulge, especially if it involves belly fat.
So even though your abdominal muscles would become rock-solid with a lot of painful sit-ups, you still can’t see them visually!
The typical example given above is one of many more problems where professional advice should be taken, either through a professional trainer or at least investing in a professionally authoritative book on the subject, where the author has or had a career. as a professional trainer and Nutritionist. In this way, he will not waste his time and energy on poor training practices, which will get him nowhere or, at best, have minimal results. Take this friendly advice from my own personal experience, as I’ve learned it the hard way.
