Please be mindful that as women going through menopause it is a very difficult time with excess weight in the lower abdomen. I know a calorie deficit is important but also not to low or you can actually slow your metabolism. A diet with good lean protein is so important. No process foods and limit refined sugar.

[@victrola2007]

As someone who through 8 weeks of shingles six months ago I experienced a side effect - Pserdophenua - damage (temp paralysis) of abdominal and gastric muscles. I grew a "5 month pregnant belly" that had NOTHING to do w/eating cleanly, no sugar and having a strong core in spite of Rheumatoid Disease AND having done stomach vacuums for YEARS. It is taking me months to regain muscle control. 🤷🏻‍♀️ This may also happen from other diseases in addition to zoster virus - Borellias (Burgdorferi/US Lyme and other Borellia variants), Diabetes, Internal Measles , etc. Look up "Battle of the Bulge" a 2019 medical discussion. Then, there's excess Candida. Bottom line - The exercise shown works - It's one of few that I could do BUT Shingles added 25 lbs and a foreign dustended stomach that didn't budge and for months.

I’ve been doing this since I was young. (In my 20’s…I’m 54 now). I always have said to my daughters “Breath in, think think!” I’ve had 8 babies and my midwife told me after #8 that I had the abs of a 20 year old! I was flattered, of course, but also overweight! Fast forward 12 years… I’ve been on a weight loss journey for the last 50 days and I’ve been implementing this exercise. I’ve already lost 3.5” in my midsection!

Thanks for showing the technique. Back when I started doing Pilates 20 years ago I was doing it almost like this daily several times a day. I so wish I had kept at it, but now I’m back. I think one thing that helped me understand how to do it was when my instructor said to suck in the belly button all the way back into the spine. I think the technique has changed from back then. Like it’s been perfected.

[@SpearChuckUngawa]

The way I flattened my belly was to limit sugar/HFCS, wheat, corn, rice and soybean/Omega-6 oils. Anything that effects glucose levels has the potential of causing 'inflammation' and stored as visceral fat in and around the liver and kidneys. I go by the 6/9 rule that Robert Lustig's Fat Chance: Fructose 2 lecture taught, "protect the liver, feed the gut, support the brain". Limiting the aggregate of sugar and grains to 6 tsp/day for chicks, 9 for dudes allows the liver to keep up with the goo we flood it with. Most people consume 30 tsp/day living off the western diet. Why be normal? I also use a Total Gym to do side to side rowing.

[@Changeworld408]

i don't know why these people claim and seem to give the impression that exercise will do something when the root of fat burning to me is lowering yr insulin by eating food that doesn't spike yr glucose. if lots of glucose is in the blood stream(mostley from refined carbs like sugar and wheat) yr body will first use the exess energy in yr blood stream as fuel and yr stored energy (fat cells) will stay in yr freezer. i don't buy into this story

[@SpearChuckUngawa]

Dr. William Davis (Wheat Belly/Bowels Gone Wild) said wheat is most inflammatory and addictive because of the opiate peptide molecule that stimulates the brain like and M&M. We get a slight gitty feeling every time we eat wheat. Look on any packaged food ingredients, see if there isn't some kind of wheat. FOOD INC. knows the science of food chemistry and mixes its slurry for that maximum addiction.

This is a very good exercise for improving stability. Try this when you walk down the stairs or are standing on a moving bus and you'll see how much it prevents you from falling over. It is what all adults should learn how to do, as it will reduce falls, reduce the need for common back surgeries (by reducing the load on the disks), and generally improve posture. I always try to walk and even ride a bike with these muscles (TVA) engaged, though less than what is shown in the video.

[@Souma38]

Hello, thank you, Jenna for the valuable content! I also suggest doing these on an empty stomach, as you said first thing in the morning.

This is the main exercise I always did when I was a teen. But I did not treat it as an exercise. Anytime I thought of it, whether walking or sitting, I would just suck in my stomach and hold the muscles real tight, sometimes for a few seconds, sometimes as long as I possibly could, and other times, just, on one second, and off, on one second, and off. I had the flattest abs imaginable.

Lovely. I find your exercise for the tummy easy to do because I already do many exercises and keep myself on a healthy diet; however as I've aged, I have noticed that my tummy is not as flat as it used to be and it's due to age and not focusing on my muscles. I'll be doing this one daily. Thanks much.

[@LanguageSkillz]

Love this approach with her callout, because it does feel silly, but her pointing it out as a legit exercise and that the reps make an impact is just perfect. This ties in with the pelvic floor and is very key for pelvic stability especially after carrying to term. Following my second pregnancy, a yoga instructor in my fitness group mentioned that 6 weeks of pelvic PT is part of many postpartum medical evals, but in America we just drop it right off. The group was excellent but not Pilates, and it’s so important to be knowing and comfortable with working those deep core muscles.

Hey! I hope you watched the entire video? Because the first 4 minutes are the most important part to understand.

Oooo excited about this! I had 3 kiddos all csections and ever since then my abs haven’t felt tight no matter how much fat I loose!

Wow!!! 🤯. I felt it after only a minute. Amazing!! Thank you Jenna!!!

If you don’t mind I have two questions. How long have you been doing this? What is your age? I’m 65 in October and this weight thing is the worst. I used to be energy filled and slim…..not anymore 😢. Thank you

[@JennaCollinsFitness]

Hey! I’m so glad to hear this, that’s amazing. You must be really taking it seriously and staying consistent. Good work! 😀💗

Greer Child’s has a whole exercise program based on vacuum breathing. She’s been advocating the benefits of this for years!

[@gloriayearian6145]

Thank you so much for sharing! I did these tonight and will continue first thing in the mornings as soon as my feet hit the floor. I’ll check back in a few weeks. 😊

[@mariankeller5852]

Looks like a good exercise.... .I had emergency stomach surgery where my lower stomach muscles were cut vertical making it almost impossible to strengthen them..I worked out at a fitness center doing complete body programs to tone and tighten but was never able to see change in my lower abs..Now that I'm older those muscles sag and no matter how much weight I lose or work on them they stay the same..I don't want another surgery but it might be the only way to tighten the muscles .....

[@JennaCollinsFitness]

Hi Marian. Wow, I’m sorry to hear that 😕! If you try to exercise, stick with it and stay consistent for a few weeks. It really does help to tighten your rectus abdominis which sits behind your abdominal muscles. So often this area is weak which leads to a weak a “loose” looking stomach and core area. Good luck, let me know how you go 😊

[@manbeast222none4]

You cannot lose stomach fat doing ab exercises. There is no magical ab workout that can help. Everyone has a six pack, but it's under layers of fat. To get your abs to show is more of a nutrition thing. Ab and obliques exercises just enhance the muscle but it won't make a world of difference if your nutrition isn't in order.

[@caroldonovan8802]

Before i clicked on this video i knew you were going to say vaccums. I did this before and lost 2 inches. Went from 38 to 36 inches. However i stopped and stuck at 36-37 inches.... Its like this video is my reminder to start again... Also, im already in a Calorie deficit a week now , my first time counting calories since my first child..

[@JennaCollinsFitness]

That’s awesome that it’s worked so well for you! It’s such a great exercise and will always work when done correctly. Thanks for letting me know, good luck on your health journey! 😀

[@lupebutterfly9161]

I have a flat stomach, zero fat and an 8 pack, but its not visible because I have lose skin. No diet/exercise in the world will ever tighten my stomach at age 60+ Of course it worked for you. Anybody your age and no abdominal fat can develop a strong abdomen in no time.

[@JennaCollinsFitness]

Anyone can build a stronger core, over 60 as well. This exercise has nothing to do with tightening loose skin or losing belly fat. It simply tightens the transverse abdominis which will work for any age.

[@lupebutterfly9161]

​@@JennaCollinsFitnessok, thanks. My core is already strong, I just can't see my 8 packs

[@shirleybroady]

Refreshing to see good advice with no strings attached. Thanks so much. And you could even do this while waiting for a traffic light to change. I stop at one that lasts a minute and 43 seconds. Or at the check out line. Or at the post office. Or……. Sounds doable for sure. 🎉

I've used that off & on for years since I discovered this from Schwarzenegger's BB Encyclopedia long ago. I tend to also feel the muscle tension in my deep lower back during the HOLD.

Awesome thank you as I have just started my health lifestyle, not that it was bad before, just needing good pointers like this.

[@kathyb-007]

Interesting. Thank you for this. My dilemma is wanting a flatter stomach, (not too flat though), without losing too much weight. I'm over 50 and losing too much weight can make one look much older. I just want my jeans to fit better, lol. I'll give this a try. Thanks again.

[@debrapeasley2606]

At our age, when we lose weight we usually lose muscle along with the fat, which we can't afford.

[@plastichouseplant]

You'd probably benefit from strength training then which will lower your body fat without lowering your weight as much, along with this exercise.

[@barbsdee3831]

Thank you for doing this video. I’ve had 2 emergency caesarean sections 30 and 32 years ago and although I’ve lost weight after being obese, I have an ‘overhang’ of fat. I also have spinal stenosis which the surgeon said can also occur because of weak stomach muscles. I’m waiting for surgery so will do your exercises after that. ❤

[@angeloiodice9304]

Also, even more powerful is the yogic exercise called Agni Sara, and the stomach lift. Also, rubbing your abdomen in a clockwise fashion with friction, five to 10 minutes a day creates great heat and removes stomach laxity and stagnation, improves digestion. The great surge of heat will come up your spine to your neck and head and down to your toes.
