  • The Stomach Vacuum is an obscure exercise that is the “secret weapon” of legendary bodybuilders, primarily to get a tighter midsection, but it is also the best exercise for training and maintaining a great posture.
    Through the activation and strengthening of the transverse abdominis, you will develop increased core control, strength and proper postural alignment.
    This exercise puts you in the proper bracing position to maintain proper posture in an instant. Whether you suffer from rounded shoulders, forward neck, sunken chest, winged scapula and even anterior pelvic tilt (APT), this exercise is the best to treat all of these symptoms simultaneously.
    With enough development you will be able to maintain perfect posture at all times.

    1) exhale completely when standing
    2) pull in stomach as hard as you can from the belly button
    3) square your kegel muscle
    4) hold as long as you can without a breath
    5) take a few breaths then repeat
    Start small they work your way up to longer holds and more reps.

      So think of it like this, you gotta take a massive piss, but you can't so you start to contract your groin region upwards, it's pretty much that, it'll be weird and awkward the first few times but you'll get there. Nuts to guts can also be used with some other core workouts. Learned all this from my exercise physio.

    My mother taught me these when I was about 10, I've been doing them for around 59 years, I always do them shopping at the supermarket, the only thing anyone knows is that you have good posture. Schwarzenegger is a huge fan and says simply that vacuums tell the brain to hold the stomach in where it should be. Works for me.

    I have a question, so I know that the stomach vacuum itself is an exercise but are we too perform the vacuum when we are in the act of lifting or squatting or is it something that should be done on its own?

    • @GrownandHealthy
      @GrownandHealthy  2 роки тому +1

      Many old school lifters would perform the vacuums while they exercise.
      I wouldn't advise that.
      But practicing standing and sitting, is great for posture.

    • @markhalstead2386
      @markhalstead2386 Рік тому

      I wouldn't. One needs to inflate their lower diaphram prior to squatting with weight, so exhaling would be counter productive. I would do it as a stand alone exercise.

    Hi, I really enjoy your content, but I want to address something here. Stomach vacuums weaken the diaphragm. It weakens your ability to create intra-abdominal pressure which weakens your core. A healthy core inflates all around and supports your upper body. A pathological ab movement sinks on the sides. (Which vacuums lead to). Intra abdominal pressure is one of the most important things for correct posture.
    Your posture is almost correct but not quite. You are still using your mouth for breathing. You are cranially extending, and you tongue is not doing anything.

    • @PittieTictures
      @PittieTictures 3 роки тому

      Interesting. So what’s missing in order to make this correct? Using the nose to breathe in? And what is the tongue supposed to be doing? Cheers

      @@PittieTictures Mouth breathing is primary a defensive mechanism for stressful situations if you wanted to continue to run or fight for example. In this world you rarely need to do that unless you are competing in something or getting mugged. Exercising should not include it, it deteriorates your looks and posture over time. Your tongue should be resting on your palate while you are exercising. If you've been breathing through your mouth your whole life while exercising you've pro developed bad breathing habit. You need to correct them. start with searching - mewing
