Effective Exercise for Stomach Tightening

One move, not a sit-up, not a crunch, will tighten that stomach flab faster than

anything else. You actually can do this lying down on

your back in your pajamas

right before you go to bed. But before I tell you what it is,

you have to

understand something about your stomach, specifically the superficial

flab that a lot of people have on their midsection. It looks like fat.

In many cases, it's not. It's loose connective tissue, and it's

called fascia. The fascia has atrophied.

So many people don't activate it correctly, so it atrophies and it gets

loose. And dieting does not fix this problem at

all.

Doing two hundred sit-ups also doesn't fix this problem. Crunches don't fix it.

Planks don't fix it. What fascia actually responds to

is body tension.

When you have your opposite arm and your opposite leg pulled away from

each other

at the exact same time, that triggers a deep fascial layer that

pulls tight like a corset from the inside.

When you activate it, your waist visibly slims down.

Your posture even gets better. Your lower back pain dramatically gets

better.

The exercise is called dead bug. I know, it's a funny name, but it works.

Lie on your back, arms straight up, knees at ninety degrees.

Slowly extend your right arm back behind your head and your left leg straight

out. Then switch. Opposite arm, opposite leg.

Slow, controlled, lower back pressed into the floor the

whole time

because as soon as you lose that arch, the tension is lost.

You wanna keep that tension on the midsection the whole time.

Do ten reps each side right before bed for two weeks.

Come back and tell me what happened. I think you'll be very happy.
