    Hello, I just joined this group. The idea of holding your tummy in while walking is really a good workout for your tummy; I call it the belly button to spine hold. Thanks for the tips

    I am sitting at my desk doing it... holding in my stomach.. and it is really hard to do for long periods of time. But I did notice that it forces you to sit up straighter, which is great for your core anyway! Plus you look thinner :)

    Thanks!

    Doing the same thing!! haha

    Lost the weight, but the loose skin that hasn't firmed back up yet makes me look like I have a pooch when I'm sitting, so I tend to do this all the time.... haha

    Suck your tummy in, or try flexing, it will pull the muscles in. You want to feel your muscles moving in your abdomen, that's how you know you're tucking in.

    The tummy tip I believe is another way to get people to not bend their back while in an exercise position. You always want to keep your back straight

    I do this whenever I remember even when just sitting on the lounge or at my desk - just to remember more often thanks for the timely reminder

    Even after having a tummy tuck I still do this. When the ps cleared me I started and he said it would help define and strengthen even more.

    Desk chair crunches: tilt your hips and shoulders slightly forward and tuck your belly button back Do as many as you can through out the day!

    I've been sucking it in for years. My yoga instructor tells us when we walk to imagine a string in the middle of our heads pulling us up tall. Square our shoulders and belly to spine. It makes for perfect posture and a nice flat looking tummy.
