\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

You’ve surely heard of the “abdominal vacuum” exercise, a simple breathing exercise for the abs that has triumphantly burst into the fitness world straight out of yoga and Pilates.<\/b><\/p>\n

The abdominal vacuum is a simple breathing exercise that works the internal muscles of the abdomen, and primarily the deepest one, the transverse muscle. One of the main reasons why this simple method has been in the spotlight for quite some time now is because it is very effective for burning belly fat. <\/span><\/p>\n

At first glance, a vacuum may scare you: videos of people pulling their stomachs in hard seem repulsive and not very pleasant. However, it’s worth trying it once and you’ll love it.<\/span><\/p>\n

To master this fitness technique, start with the simplest exercise: the tummy vacuum on your back.<\/span><\/p>\n
