Want to lose ten pounds in five seconds? No, the secret is not to cut off your head. And, yes, it really should be titled, "How To LOOK Like You've Lost 10 Pounds In 5 Seconds." But that's not a very catchy title. And this topic is actually much much more important than just looking better.
So here it is. Whether you are sitting, lying down, standing walking or whatever you are doing, suck in your gut and squeeze your butt cheeks together. Do that in front of a mirror standing at a profile and.. . Presto! Wow, you look like you've lost 10 pounds! Alright, alright, results may vary. But you get the idea.
Sucking in your belly button towards your spine and tightening your gluteals is one of the best things that you can do for your health. And it is 100% FREE to practice. Initially, the best way to practice is while standing up. Then practice it while sitting down, standing in line, driving, and especially working out. It will seem unnatural at first. It will be difficult at first. But soon you'll find it easy. Then, it will seem lazy and uncomfortable to stand, sit, or workout otherwise.FIT TRUE RESOURCES
If there's one place you really should focus on this it is during your working out. In fact, make it a point to have perfect posture throughout your whole workout. You might have to lower the weight and slow down the cardio at first, but soon you'll find new strength, speed, and RESULTS all because you focused on your posture by sucking in your gut and squeezing your gluteals together.
The really big issue here is not so much just looking better, but having good posture. Good posture is one of the best, easiest, inexpensive goals you can set and do for yourself. It makes you look taller. It makes you look like you've lost weight. It makes you stronger and faster because your kinetic chain is uninterrupted. It gives you better balance because your center of gravity is inside your body where it belongs instead of hanging in front of you. It causes the internal organs to function better. You'll breath better and more fully. It will even cause you to burn more calories.
FIT TRUE RESOURCES
If you find yourself sitting at a computer for long periods of time pick up a stability ball to sit on. Sitting on a stability ball can makes it more difficult to slouch and encourages good posture.
So, Grannie was right when she told you to sit up straight. QUIT SLOUCHING, look like you've lost weight, and feel better right away by sucking in your gut and squeezing your butt cheeks together.

Happy St. Patric's Day
ReplyDeleteThese type of isometric exercises really work. I've practiced them for 50+ years and was the way I got rid of my pregnancy "fat." Your abs are the best "corset" you have.

Tim,
ReplyDeleteWhat is your take on human growth hormone releasers like the GenF20 Plus product? Does it work and how safe is it?
HGH is safe, as far as I've heard or seen. You can get that here by typing GenF20 Plus in the Amazon search box above.
