I was reading up on this, and it claims to be able to shave off 2-3 inches from your waist in 3 weeks. I have a solid 6pack now, but they stick out pretty far, so I still have what looks like a gut at times. Would this exercise help, or is it a waste of time?

All those exercises are, are your TVA and Core exercises... and as far as 2-3 inches, it's probably all conditional, but I doubt that much....

sounds interresting, i think i will try that in addition to the other abs exersices i do.
so, you exhale all air from the lunges and DONT breathe while you are holding your gut inn? :S

and it says to do 20 secs 3 sets
so one hold of 20 sec is 1 set? i just tried it and i feel it in a different way than with situps. but is it true what they say about it? im not beliving that it will make such a fantastic difference in 3 weeks, but will it help much? if it helps, then ill do it:P

Yeah, I don't know how I'm going to hold my breath for a minute, I can barely do 20 seconds :P

i guess you could let some air slip inn and out once in a while, just dont take a deep breath, try to breeth as little as possible. which is weird, cuz usually us suppose to breathe while working out, but i guess you dont hit those muscles as good if u got your lunges full of air or something.

found another article on it.

"The great thing about it is that you can do it a hundred times a day. There's no danger of overtraining, and you'll find that the more you do it, the sooner you'll see results. Look for better posture and the fact that you'll be carrying yourself better with your gut held up and in, even when you're not trying to."


i would really like to get some of the pro's like JP to comment on thisone and spechally that last quote from the article i found.

Man...I've been sucking it in for about 10 years now. Someone should have told me I could make money off of it!

yeah ive been doign it.. works good looks weird (do it at home) i beleive it just adjust your posture so ur not stiking ur gut out all the time :-s you get used to having it closer to your spine..

yeah thats cool. wonder if what they say about it helping in compound lifts and such is true:S

This actually works great!!!
i stopped doing situps 2 years ago cause they made me skinny
ive been doing these for about a week and can actually see the difference
AND the great thing about it is they dont make me skinny!!

is it just me? because my abs are really sore today after doing this last night.

No illmike, My abs were sore the day after as well, but it was in a weird spot. Maybe not my abs, but something in there was sore lol. Definetly did something by doing this exercise

yeah. and what about that thing they say that you can do it as much as you want because you cant overtrain? i gotte figure out if its safe to do this sevral times each day.
and you get sore under your abs i guess, like, further inn, behind your 6pack:P i felt weird after the exersice, like if i was tiered but i dident quite know where:P

if u cant hold ur breath your doing it rong.. your gut should feeel like its going into your rib cage..

i just realised that in class today when i was daydreaming..

well it all depends how long you are able to hold your breath doesnt it?:P

no! because b4 i was doign it rong also.. and i couldnt hold my breath for liek 10 (i use to take lil breaths to hold it to 20) seconds... but the way i do it now.. i can hold it for 35 max..
