Stomach Vacuums

Hybrid · 11-12-2005, 01:25 AM

I've been doing stomach vacuums lately as suggested by DarkFalcon, and my question is, should I be doing them like 3 sets of 10? Or like, for 5 minutes? Or what? I've just been doing for 4-5 minutes, and I was wondering if this is right. Also how often should I do them? Once a week? Once a day?

And do you really think stomach vacuums will help make my mid-section look smaller? My pics are here: Hybrid reveals himself!

Thanks

Do basic stomach vaccums for 1-2 minutes of a few sets.

Stomach vacuums are more for muscle awareness and control. This is not to say, however, that they will not provide some level of response to your mid-section.

Stomach vacuums should be attempted in various positions (on all fours, sitting, standing, etc.) in order to get there full benefit, IMHO.

Better idea...keep your gut sucked in like you're supposed to and it makes stomach vacuums useless.
