Instructions

Proper Position

  • Stand, sit, or kneel (quadruped position), depending on your preference.
  • Keep your back straight and relax your shoulders. If standing, place your feet slightly apart at hip-width.
  • Breathe normally to prepare for the exercise.

Movement

  • Exhale deeply to empty all the air from your lungs completely.
  • Contract your abdominal muscles by pulling your stomach in as far as possible, as if trying to draw your navel toward your spine.
  • Hold this contraction and position for as long as possible, breathing lightly if necessary.
  • Slowly release and return to normal breathing.
  • Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Breathing

  • Exhale completely to empty your lungs before pulling in your stomach.
  • Breathe lightly and gently if needed during the contraction.

Tips

  • Focus on the transverse abdominal muscle, which is located deep within your core.
  • Start with short durations (10 to 15 seconds) and gradually increase as you gain control.
  • Perform this exercise on an empty stomach for greater comfort.
