I found this blog looking for abs exercises to flatten my belly. I eat well. not too much and exercise on a regular basis. But, when Milad and Christian asked me: "Is this a belly?" I had to be concerned because those guys know what a belly is. :)).

So, I have been looking around to find an answer to my concerns. It seems that it is only a matter of tranversal abs. They are the deeper abs which hold the internal organs in place. In other words, thay are responsible for the flat belly look. If you don't work them, you will have strong abs but, no flat belly. And all those belly specialists will ask you the same bloody thing....

The above picture shows the impressive exercise called the "vacuum" by Simon Javierto (1922). This exercise is very effective to control the transverse abs and breathing. It is kind of forgotten today and is undoubtedly one of the exercises to reduce your waste size after having lost the extra pounds. It is also considered to be excellent for improving the digestive system (!!!).
