Vacuum Pack Abs
Written by E.J. Reeves
Most of the ab articles are of the starvation plus pain variety. What I mean is they talk starvation diet, then most couple that with crunches until it hurts! Who wants 6-pack abs if you have to submit yourself to torture? Here are some easy, effective tips for narrowing your waist.
E.J. practicing the Vacuum
#1 The Vacuum
This can be performed sitting, standing or walking. Performed 2 or 3 times a day for noticeable results. This is how it is done. First stand with your hands behind your head. Now exhale all the air from your lungs as you bend forward slightly. Without allowing any air back into your lungs suck your diaphragm up into your lungs as you’re straightened up. Hold for 2 seconds then breath. This sucking in technique takes some practice. After awhile you can perform the vacuum without the help of any bending or arm movement.
#2 The Squeeze
Flexing the abs as if posing for an ab photo. A mirror will help, so will placing one or both arms overhead. Static flexing is another do anywhere, anytime technique for firming and flattening the abdominal wall.
#3 Eat smaller more frequent meals
If the above two techniques narrow your waist then overeating will stretch your abdomen even if there is minimal fat on it. By eating small, frequent meals your waist remains narrow.
#4 Eat roughage
Small meals keep from stretching your abs while roughage eliminates the meals. Elimination (bowel movements) should occur 2 to 3 times a day. One big meal or 3 small meals that are not moved equal the same result, abdominal stretching. Roughage is found in whole grain, raw and cook vegetables.
The Ab flexing part of E.J.'s routine
Now all of the above can easily be incorporated into your daily routine. Within 2 weeks you should see appreciable results. Small measures added together then multiplied equal large results.
Add techniques
#1 + #2 + #3 + #4 , 3 times a day, 7 days a week = narrow waist

Good morning David,
I am very busy with business and family. We have a son in chiropractic college some 500 miles away. I have been experimenting with different training protocols with chin-ups and dips. I have tried adding weight to my chin-ups while reducing the volume of the workout. My best one rep max with palms away shoulder grip chin-up is an additional 105 lbs. A new protocol that I have tried is a non stop workout. This workout uses body weight then light dumbbell exercises. I would like to share some of these workouts in upcoming articles along with more photos before December 2004, HA HA. Thanks for your compliments and keep working out!
