Waist Your Breath - Breathing For A Thinner Waist

Written by Nick Nilsson


The crunch exercise isrepparttar backbone of abdominal training. It developsrepparttar 115752 muscles ofrepparttar 115753 abs to help you build that much-desired six-pack. But did you know that there is a way to do crunches that can actually decreaserepparttar 115754 size of your waist?

The key to this technique isrepparttar 115755 top position ofrepparttar 115756 crunch where your abdominals are contracted as hard as they are able to.

When you’re in this top position, I want you to breathe in and out slowly a few times. Try to relax every other muscle exceptrepparttar 115757 abs. This breathing in and out will intensifyrepparttar 115758 contraction (as you will find out very rapidly).

Here’s how it works:

The muscles ofrepparttar 115759 abdomen are arranged in layers around your midsection, similar in concept torepparttar 115760 rings in a tree. While you are contractingrepparttar 115761 rectus abdominus (the top-most front layer of your abs, also known as your six-pack) continuously,repparttar 115762 deeper abdominal muscle fibers are relaxing and contracting each time you breathe.

This is a trick to be done on a leg curl machine. By simply changing where you grip your hands onrepparttar machine, you can increase your strength inrepparttar 115751 movement by as much as 10% instantly!

Lie face down onrepparttar 115752 bench as you normally would when doingrepparttar 115753 exercise. Instead of grippingrepparttar 115754 machine onrepparttar 115755 handles belowrepparttar 115756 bench with your arms bent, extend your arms straight overhead in front and grab on to whatever is there. This is generallyrepparttar 115757 frame on either side ofrepparttar 115758 weight stack. Be aware that this trick will not work if there is nothing there to grab - some machines just end atrepparttar 115759 bench and haverepparttar 115760 weights stack torepparttar 115761 side or behind.

Do your leg curls as you usually would but using this different grip. You should feel stronger when doing them.
