  • Breathing should be slow and controlled, as for knowing if the activation is correct, you should use your finger tips to feel the muscle tighten between your navel and just inside of the pelvic bones.

  • Improving your lower abdominal strength will tighten the lower abs and hold the abdominal contents in. This will give you a flatter stomach, but ideally this exercise is to improve core strength.

  • I have some questions: How do i know if i'm properly activating the TVA muscles? Also at what level of intensity should you suck your belly button in towards your spine? In addition, once you exhale should you hold your breath or take quick breaths? I have tried doing this while standing up, and it feels as if i'm hitting the inside lower obliques more. When doing it i try to bring in the belly button as far in to the spine and do the same motion when i'm trying to stop my pee

  • Is this gonna make your waist smaller?
