i've heard that standing/sitting up straight helps strengthen the core muscles and sometimes even shows some changes. i've certainly tried doing it but i either forget or become exhausted too fast. has anyone changed their posture by just willing themselves to stand/sit up straight? is it true that you feel a change?

(i'm sorry, i'm not stupid, just curious)

    Ahh, it doesn't hurt. I mean you're not going to get Brad Pitt in Troy type abs from it, but it does engage the core to a certain degree.

    Better to do actual abdominal work 2 or 3 times a week, but yeah, sitting straight or standing straight does engage the core to a small degree.

    FYI,stars use make-up artists to enhance their abs- kind of fun , kind of cheating.

    even if they do use make up artists there's only so much make up can do for you...
