I just wanted to share a tip on something I've been doing lately.

While I'm sitting in my chair typing an email or something I just slouch down a bit (not too much, just so that my butt isn't touching the back of the chair) in my chair, lift my feet off the floor and my back off the back rest and hold if for as long as I can. If you want, twist your upper body left and right to engage the obiques a bit.

Have fun!

    here's another tip.... ever since i was younger, my mom would always tell me not to slouch and to pull my belly button in and tighten my stomach. now, it is something i naturally do and i constantly have my stomach muscles tightened!

    when i think of it, i'll release them and tighten again just for a little kick :happy:
