[@toneandtighten]

If you're looking for more great exercises to relieve lower back pain be sure to check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqLRaWqYjNuqptU I hope these things help you! 🙏🏼

[@Cricketchirps39]

I think they are pretty easy, except when do you breath? Do you keep breathing shallow as doing these to not lose the tightening effect?

[@rahulalase]

They are easy... But can we do them with Hiatal Hernia condition? Any specific exercises for Hiatal Hernia condition? Or to strengthen diaphragm?

[@giovanni0620]

Hello, I had hernia surgery and they put a mesh covering two hernias, can I do these exercises safely? Thanks for all the videos.

[@Alyssa501]

Hey jared ! ❤️ you rock. I had 4 ruptured discs. I am 27. They are already reabsorbing after 8 weeks of consistent core work, stretching, walking 40-60 minutes a day, taking proper supplements and eating an abundance of good food. After countless failed physio visits.. your videos literally saved my sanity. I built my core workouts around your programing and do them daily. I finally am getting my life back... WITHOUT SURGERY. YAAAA BABBBAAY

[@toneandtighten]

Wonderful news and happy to help!

[@4allpetlovers]

You're still so young. What caused the 4 ruptured discs?

[@brandylongsold-kyrealtor2229]

How many days a week do you do this routine?

[@TheBennybeest]

I have one black disc l2 l3 who lost height and I'm already 11 months further without improvement. It drives me insane. I don't understand why it won't go away. Burning front thighs right now

[@avopeac6300]

walking while maintaining TA contraction has helped me gain a lot of awareness and has helped my hip mobility

[@honkhonk1555]

Be careful with overdoing that. I believe that’s what has caused me all kinds of issues with my pelvis, and hips.

I thank God to be able to stumble upon this video accidently. I had a l5 -s1 spondy. Where it got cured and left me with anxiety which made my belly so weak it lost all its strength. I tried every core workout which made it even worse causing abdominal cramp i couldn't even stand up straight. Tried this, man you wouldn't believe i felt like i was back to my normal self. Im going to do this every single day. Thank you man God bless 🙏 earned a sub

Thank you for the video Jared I done this video today and added in some planks and some 90/90 rotations for my hip rotation, I think I need more of a warm up and a more drastic hip stretch such as the couch stretch

I'm here because I'm trying to get ready for my Cuba trip in 4 weeks and was wondering why my knees were hurting after doing planks. And now I know why. My core is super weak even though I run daily and lift weights here and there.

[@CoachingForLifeLessons]

Omg, do I breathe wrong?!?!? Is he saying when you breathe in, your belly is supposed to stick out??? I've been doing it opposite my whole life. I'll just try to breathe correctly...

[@CoachingForLifeLessons]

Breathe in, stomach out. Breathe out, stomach in?

[@1clivesay1]

Are you holding your breath when the TA is activated? I presume you’re not, so how do you continue breathing to keep the TA activated when doing the exercises? Also, do you have a separate channel that shows you doing all the exercises, stretches, etc for the entire duration of the exercise or stretch (like the 8 min stretch video)? Those are way more helpful than the ones where you only demonstrate the movement and say “repeat this 20 times & do 3 sets”. Thank you!

[@toneandtighten]

Great questions, Cynthia! Not holding my breath - you should be able to hold that contraction and maintain your breathing (albeit slightly altered). I do have some follow-along workouts that are very similar to this, mostly for the moms out there to rehab abs after pregnancy. You can find them by searching "Tone and Tighten Postpartum Abs" here on YT. Hope that helps!

Hello, thank you for the video. One thing, regarding the bear hug excercise, you hold for 5-10 seconds and repeat 10 times and for 3 sets? Seems like a lot (30) compared to the previous exercises unless it's was a mistake and you meant 3 sets of the exercise? Just making sure. Thanks

Strengthening your deep core muscles is key!

[@Wariotelli4]

I don't get when to brace vs drawing in, you mention bracing in the vid but it seems like you are drawing in instead???

[@shegocrazy]

This is a great video. Best advice I got from a physio was to do that clench all the time so that it becomes automatic. You can do it while sitting, walking, lying down......all the time. Before long you do it without thinking. It won't give you a 6-pack, but It's the best thing for your lower back. Saved me a visit to the operating table... and that was 30 years ago.

[@toneandtighten]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing.

You can do these every day if you are not too sore.

You can do them daily if you are not too sore. Most people see a difference in 8-12 weeks.

Hi! Thank you for your very helpful videos. Which of your videos would you recommend for someone who has lower back/disc issue but would like to flatten their tummy after birth?

[@ellyc87]

I think these exercises should be safe for your back as long as it isn't painful. Core exercises that keep the back straight (which these do), are best for low back pain.

Hanging is a great way to apply traction to your spine and decompress your vertebrae. Assuming it is not painful, I recommend it to many people!
