Instructions
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart for stability.
2. Take a few deep breaths and relax your body.
3. Exhale all the air out of your lungs completely.
4. After exhaling, suck in your stomach as much as possible. Imagine trying to bring your navel all the way back to your spine.
5. Hold the "vacuum" position for as long as you can. It's essential to maintain a normal breathing pattern while keeping the stomach sucked in. Beginners might start with a few seconds and gradually increase the duration with practice.
6. Release the vacuum and breathe normally for a few seconds.
7. Repeat the exercise as necessary. Aim for multiple sets of holding the vacuum, with relaxation periods in between.
Remember to perform the exercise with good form and to avoid straining yourself too much, especially when starting out. It may help to perform in front of a mirror to monitor your form.
