Flatten Your Belly While Working at Your Desk

By Joycelyn Stong


These days a lot of us are trapped behind a laptop at a desk throughout the day in the office. This particular habit of sitting leaves us all unfit as well as weak. We end up having bad posture, aching backs, and the nearest we get to a 6 pack is the one we buy on the way home from work.

You will discover several muscles that comprise your abdominals. Most of us usually think about the ones we see, or wish we were able to see. that abdomen though, there are actually layers and layers of muscle groups. The following easy work out will develop those muscles as well as help take in your lazy belly. Besides that, your posture and deep breathing will greatly improve.

This unique exercise has existed for some time. The origins originate from century old yoga routines in the far east. What can be much better than that? There are accounts of individuals trimming two to four inches off all their waistline in a couple of weeks.

And here is how it operates. The Abdominal vac is an isometric contraction. This means you are going to tighten the muscle without moving it To start out, stand up straight. Lay both hands on your hips. Now exhale all the air from your lungs. Draw your belly in as much as you can after you've exhaled most of the air out of your lungs. Picture that your navel is attempting to touch your back bone.

Try to hold this for 20 or 30 seconds. Take a few breaths and after that do it again. When you finish it and are at ease with doing this standing upright, you will be able to carry out without even thinking about it. You can then practice it even while driving, sitting/working at your desk or while you are watching television on your couch. You will know if you're performing it correctly, if you get just a little sore in your abs.

When you start, you will likely only be capable of doing this for 15 to 20 seconds. Start the first by performing only three sets, 20 seconds each. Then once a week, attempt to increase until you can hold the vacuum for sixty seconds.

This will not help you lose lots of excess weight. To lose inches off your midsection, you need to strengthen your abdominal wall and that will stop your belly from protruding so much. It will not make your 6 pack instantly show up, but it just might help you tone your belly, which can be important.
