    Yes I did it for a couple of months
    3 minutes, 3 times per week only - worked like a charm to reinforce the abs - especially the internal oblics.

    In fact, it's something that have much benefits : learn to breath during a contraction, and learn to contract all your abs properly - not to mention to carry on the belly we have when we are bloated - def -helped me

    I went through a little phase where I would do them here and there throughout the week - after strength training workouts, and just misc times of day (like while riding the motorcycle or driving or sitting at work). There may have been a waistline shrinking effect, but I was also pretty hardcore with my dieting at the time, so it's hard to point to that as a cause.

    Is that like getting your stomach pumped? I had to have that done when I ate six boxes of Tic Tacs.

    I tried once bloated ahah - the perfect moment is after a workout - before eating. When your plasma is loaded (the "pump" phase)- we tend not to breath correctly, making the belly "big" - but with a proper mastering of your breathing techniques - you'll no longer have the feeling of being pregnant after every breath
