Here’s the plain and simple way to lose inches off your waist fast. It’s actually kind of fun too. It will tone your abs, give you better posture, strengthen your core, and prevent injury of your core muscles.
So what is this easy technique? We call it the Vacuum Pose.
You just suck in your stomach like a vacuum, holding your abs in really tight. But not like you’re holding your breath. Want you want to do is pull your belly button in as if you were trying to make it touch your back.
This can be done sitting or standing, while you’re waiting for your show to come back on or while you’re checking your email. It’s so easy that you don’t need to only do it at home; do it while you’re commuting around town or when waiting in line – pretty much anywhere.
By doing this, you contract your abs and tone the muscle taking inches off your waist. It keeps those muscles awake and keeps oxygen and nutrients flowing to them. It also makes you sit up taller and stand straighter, which makes you look more confident.
So here’s how to do the routine and lose inches off your waist.
Suck in the middle section of your tummy (as described above) as much as you can and hold the position for any time between 15-60 seconds. (You can do this while you’re heating something up in the microwave.) Anyway, the longer the better. Take a deep breath, rest for 30 seconds or so and do it again. Do this for a total of 5 minutes a day for 30 days and you can lose around an inch and a half off your waistline.
If you want more noticeable results, as in 3-inches off your waist, do the “Vacuum Pose” for 15-20 minutes or as much as you want every day. This shouldn’t be too difficult since you don’t need anything else but a reminder to do it. Even when you’re sitting in a traffic jam crawling along, DO IT! Make a game out of it! See how many sets you can get done before you get home. I bet you won’t nod off behind the wheel or be so annoyed by the turtle-paced traffic. Make sure though that you pay attention to your driving; I don’t want this exercise to cause you to wreck.
Doing this exercise will help with more than toning your abs and slimming your waist. It will make you look more confident; it will keep your stress levels down by taking your mind off things; it will entertain you while you wait, especially if you’re inpatient, and before you know it you will SEE how to lose inches off your waist fast!
