Is it true that the stomach vaccuum can actually help you LOSE belly fat? I know it gives u a smaller waist and a stronger core but does it actually shed off belly fat...?

well as everyone always says here, you must first have a good diet to lose fat and it will work it out but it doesnt look to me like it'll work very well imo...

Hmm.. Interesting concept, but what in god's creation is a stomach vacuum??

Its when you let every ounce (or almost every ounce) of air out of your diaphram and suck ur stomach in and hold for a while, prefferably 20-30 secs

its supposed to give you many health benfits. I dont know them all, i only know that it gives u a smaller waist, helps relieve constapation and gives a stronger core because it works the muscles deep inside ur midsection. If there are more benefits which im sure there are, could someone tell them?

If I am not mistaken Frank Zane was a master at the vacuum pose.

I occasionally use one after I eat crackers on the Lazy-Boy to get the crumbs out of my belly button hair.

The key to shedding fat more than anything is diet.

It's a gut-suck exercise for posing technique mostly




it'll help gain muscle control of your midsection...but it won't do anything for your fat, you have to use diet for that part.

Planks for time are another good isometric.

so ur saying the stomach vacuum has no benefits whatsoever, other than it helping you control your midesection?

put simply
no
not in my opinion

i think youd be better off doing breathing techniques
some people say they burn fat, but i think the benefits go only as far as your ability to control breathing while lifting

i dont get it


anyways isnt it tue that the stomach vacuum strengthens the deep muscles of the core very well? Ive read on articles and books that they donas well as the fact that they indeed do give u a smaller waist.

dont know if they work or not. i have known a few old school guys that swear by them. here is a good link about them, and how to do them. Bodybuilding.com - Karen Sessions - The Stomach Vacuum Exercise - Pics And Video.

i bet in the world you live in every one is a pony, eats rainbows, and craps butterflys.
there is no damn justice in the world.
