[Catinahat]

Have you got any particular websites or youtube videos that teach you how to them?

[bednobs]

eerrggh never heard of them

[humbersloop]

depends on whether you've recently eaten unusual foods cooked in a steamer really

[tonyav]

I'm sure your gonna bednobs !.

[Tilly2]

Do you mean holding in your stomach and strenghtening the muscles?

[Tilly2]

^ strengthening!

[Mamyalynne]

yup

[Catinahat]

Bednobs apparently they're meant to strengthen and tighten your core which gives you a small stomach and better posture so tilly2 is right.

[tonyav]

Yes but couldn't you do that with an ordinary belt.

[humbersloop]

which bit's your core?

[Prudie]

Thank heavens for that, I was imagining tubes and throat

[Tilly2]

Well pilates works and so does Yoga. Pulling in your belly button towards your spine and holding it in will strengthen the muscles and you will look slimmer.

Not if you are about to advertise the latest fat busting device..!

[Mamyalynne]

YouTube has stacks of videos.

[Catinahat]

Core muscles humbersloop as in stomach, obliques and lower back.

I've checked youtube out already but wanted to hear peoples personal experiences.

"Not if you are about to advertise the latest fat busting device..!"

I'm asking a question in the weightloss section about stomach vacuums which fyi you do by contracting and holding in the muscle so A- Doesn't need any "Devices" and B- Doesn't burn fat.
