Stomach Vacuums are a classic bodybuilding technique used to train the deep core. They’re excellent for improving posture, reducing waist size, and increasing core awareness.
Instructions
- Stand tall with feet shoulder-width apart and hands resting on your hips.
- Inhale fully, then exhale completely while pulling your stomach inward as far as possible.
- Visualize your belly button moving toward your spine and hold this contraction.
- Maintain normal shallow breathing during the hold for 20 seconds or longer.
- Release slowly and repeat for the desired number of sets.
