![]() ![]() If you’ve forgotten what a stomach vacuum is, it’s basically when you breathe all the air out of your system, suck in your stomach, and hold it for as long as you can, repeating that for sets and reps. However, doing stomach vacuums a few days a week, for a lot of you, isn’t going to be enough. Now I have talked about this before and how you can utilize exercises like the Stomach Vacuum in order to work the transverse abdominis to try to help pull everything in nice and tight. I don’t know exactly what is happening, but there’s a problem there. Then as you walk around during the day, I doubt the majority of you are keeping it nice and tight, again you’re likely just letting it all hang out or maybe even pushing it out. We normally hunch over and the entire core area tends to get relaxed A LOT. Aside from that, a lot of us sit down ALL day long, and from sitting down in our chairs we just kind of let it all hang out. Well, the same goes for the core, and unfortunately the majority of us make sure we go to the gym every single week to hit legs, arm, chest, all the main muscle groups, but the core can sometimes be lagging. Why Isn’t My Core Tight & Hard Like The Rest Of My Body? Your body basically is always going to say to itself, if it’s not using something, why does it have to keep focused on it, or why does that muscle have to stay strong and hard and big? If you’re not using those muscles, I wouldn’t say they wither away, but they tend to get a little bit weaker because there’s no force being called upon them to do otherwise. What actually happened is the muscles just started to get a bit relaxed because they haven’t been training. Sound familiar? It’s like a sickness, especially for us males. You freak out, go to the gym, smash your arms as hard as you can, and then you’re back to normal. Let’s say you had to skip your arm day, then all of a sudden when you flex your bicep, you touch it and it feels kind of soft. I’m sure many of you have had weeks where you weren’t able to make it to the gym, or weren’t able to target all your muscles properly. Just like any other part of your body, if you don’t train those muscles on a consistent basis, they start to get a little soft. I’m going to be teaching you guys some simple tricks to help you tighten up your core.
