Your interpretation is absolutely correct Sav. Its just a matter of sucking the stomach in and holding it there for a period of time.

How can you exhale all the air out of your lungs and not breathe for 30 seconds? Holding your breath for 30 seconds I can understand – at least you have oxygen in your lungs to burn, no?

I actually have done this before coming to this site. I think this is the same thing.
And I used to have to hold my breath for a couple seconds to get the muscles held in.
But I do it now and don’t need to hold my breath.

It’s just pulling your stomach in and up towards your navel. Like breathing out all air does. Then hold that position with your stomach muscles and breathe(:

Consistency is a real problem. Until there is consistency in doing the work, there cannot be consistent result.

I believe the main difficulty to keeping weight off is most people time and again do not carry on doing the workouts or maintaining there diet.

You are absolutely correct, it shows that you’re an authority on the subject. I admire someone that takes the pride you have and with your projection of information. Also when i actually do sit down to read material, I appreciate well written and organized blogs like this one. I have it bookmarked and will be back. Thanks.

Hi, just a note on the exercise. Actually exercise physilogy suggests that you may breathe some during the thirty seconds, but what you want to do is hold the squeeze of the muscles. It is the contraction of the muscle, not the breath, that helps top tighten and tone. There are very few exercises where holding the breath would be benefical- underwater swimming being one!

Regarding the brain- research shows that it takes 60 days for the brain to fully recognize the habit and another 30 days to make it habit. This is why most diets fail- we westerners can’t do anything for a month, let along 3 months! A really good book that can help you understand how to make substancial change is “The Kaizen Way.”

I think that the biggest problem with losing weight is that people often do not continue doing exercises or keeping diet. It is very much in our brain. We would like to get it but it is hard to sacrifice for it. And even if one get it we often do not maintain it so after couple of months everything is as before. http://flatstomach-weightloss.com/

The vacuum exercise requires that you exhale the air and suck in your stomach as much as possible. This works the TVA muscle. I guess the challenge here is that a person with lower core or fitness strength may find that difficult to do. As such, start by holding it in for 5 seconds and then move to 10 seconds and so on. Since its a simple exercise, it can be done on a daily basis and you can improve really fast. Hope that answers your question.
