Exercise Description

The standing stomach vacuum exercise builds deep core strength and helps create a tighter, flatter midsection. It targets your deepest abdominal muscles for better posture.

How To

1. Stand tall with feet hip-width apart and hands on your hips 2. Exhale completely, pushing all air out of your lungs through your mouth 3. Pull your belly button toward your spine as hard as you can while holding your breath 4. Hold the standing stomach vacuum position for 15-30 seconds while keeping your chest up 5. Release slowly and breathe normally, then repeat for 3-5 sets

Form Tips

• Keep your chest up and shoulders back during the standing stomach vacuum to avoid hunching forward • Start with shorter holds and build up time as you get stronger • Don't hold your breath too long - release if you feel dizzy • Focus on pulling your navel toward your spine during the standing stomach vacuum

Common Mistakes

• Holding your breath too long and getting dizzy during the standing stomach vacuum • Hunching forward or letting your chest collapse instead of staying upright • Not exhaling completely before starting the standing stomach vacuum movement
