    Stomach vacuums are another great TVA exercise.

    I tried the first one a bit when i was sitting and it's really intense, now let's try it on the floor.
    Edit: in the floor the abs works a lot more, this really trains the core

    Thank you for this! i don't know what theses other people are complaining about. when you engage your core you can really feel your TVAs.

    this is good info, the tva is a tricky muscle to strengthen, so to develop 3 to 4 good exercises for it, you'll need to try out and practice all the vidoes on it. Then it will make sense, especially when you start to make that mind muscle connection, then its like 'ohh now i feel it'

  • @shimamuhammad8286

    That last exercise activates that trans muscle much better if you if you do the arm and leg at the same time. And isolating and holding the tva for 10 seconds for 5-10 reps is also better than that pelvic tilt.

    Hiya, thanks for the cool video. I was wondering will this strengthen the TVA muscle on a permanent basis or is it simply a warming up exercise? Was looking for the former. Looking to help better my breathing and have been told this muscle is important. Many thanks dude, hope to hear back from you soon

    Finally, a video about ab activation exercises, rather than how to engage them. Felt my TVA start to burn for the first time ever after just doing these exercises. Thank you!

  • @Meliasaurus
    @Meliasaurus 7 років тому +17

    best intentions here, the word is pronounced quad-ru-ped. TVA is stabilizing muscle for your abdomen. cat cows and pelvic tilts would be good for rectus engagement but they aren't ideal for training TVA

      Criticalbench it's a problem most pregnant women have with the seperation of the abdominal area some body builders have it too but with you saying about not doin situps men and women who suffer this condition are not doin situps when there not supposed to be.

    One thing you didn't focus on which is really important is breathing while doing the exercise. So much harder to do but needed to activate properly.

    • @Tankiann
      @Tankiann 4 роки тому +1

      if you are looking to activate the tva is cause you have a very weak tva so some of us cant do the exercise while breathing cause its harder and the activation is hard enough to start with

    Sorry about that mini rant, but if they seriously open a topic on an open forum they should be set straight. For their good. They should be asking about the difference or asking about the difference where the 'net will show them.
