Transverse abdominis activation
Lie supine. Tighten the abdominal muscles by: - drawing the belly button up and in. - exhaling deeply w/ mouth open as if to "fog a window." - attempting to pull the 2 hip bones closer together. Contract muscles for 60 seconds. Try to breathe naturally while keeping the stomach muscles tight. These muscles serve as a natural, intrinsic "back brace." Use these muscles anytime you are performing an activity that will put stress on your back.  ← Return to Exercises index  Printable Version |
