How do you get a flat stomach by sucking? And more importantly, does sucking in your stomach really get you results?
Well, the answer may surprise you, but not in the way you might think.
For those who don’t have a flat stomach, sucking in your abs is the next best thing to having a flatter stomach, and it’s a trick used by many people trying to improve their physique by temporarily hiding their belly fat. Want to exaggerate.
But what many people don’t know is that the abdominal suck is actually a very good way to increase your core and abdominal strength when used as an exercise.
It’s simple, effective and when combined with a routine of nutrition and exercise, helps produce visible results.
Here is how it works.
Sucking in your stomach is actually known as an ‘abdominal vacuum’ and is most effective towards the end of your workout.
Begin by standing or sitting up straight, keeping your back straight. Pull your belly button in and imagine your navel being pulled towards your spine. Maintain this position for about 20 – 30 seconds at a time and repeat as many times as you feel the need.
Keep in mind that simply doing a stomach cleanse will not get you the famous ‘six pack’ or flat stomach. What it will do, however, is increase the strength in your core, allowing you to perform more advanced abdominal movements and exercises, which in turn will get you the six pack you want.
