The Easiest Way to Tone your Belly

Quite unsure how or when it happened but I'm now (and have been for some time now) in possession of a pot belly. Of course I've known about it for a while but always made some cute excuse for it, and nicknamed it my belly dancer belly. Luckily I can still make it disappear by sucking the fat in. The downside is the discomfort because of which it doesn't work for long. Apparently though that's a good habit to have, several times a day.

Sucking in your belly to the point of flexing for 3-5 seconds at a time works like exercise if the rest of your body is in the correct posture (I let a mirror be my guide. If your body looks unnatural, you're doing it wrong.). I've tried this and it actually works over time. The 'workout' activates your Transversus abdominis muscle also known as the 'corset muscle'. If you have an insane amount of fat to lose, a more intensive exercise program like Insanity is recommended.

So now that you know, go do it...regularly, if you want to see results.
