How to instantly get rid of your pot belly, pooch, or midriff
To quickly get rid of your pot belly or pooch... You got to work on your weak TVA muscles and not your abs or "6-pack".
Your TVA or TransVerseAbdomiuns muscles are located behind your 6 pack.
The reason why people have flat midsections is NOT because they have
strong abs (or a strong rectus abdominus or "6-pack")...
People Have Flat Abs Because Their TVA muscles Are Strong...
And your TVA muscles don't have to be super strong... You just have to exercise them every so often to keep your tummy flat.
Over time... a combination of you losing strength in your TVA muscles
and a gain of fat around your midsection leads to a pot belly or pooch.
Exercising your TVA is easy. All you have to do is ...
- Place one of your fingers on your belly button
- Without taking in a deep breath. Try to move your belly button inward as far away from your finger as you can. (Basically all you're doing is holding in your stomach while breathing normally)
- Hold your belly button in for 5 seconds working your way up to a minute or...
- Instead of increasing the time... You can try to draw in your belly button further away from your finger. Click the play button on the video above to see how To flatten your abs and...
To Flatten your Lower Abs (your pooch or pauch) Fast...
Place your finger 3 inches below your belly button and pull your lower belly in as far away from your finger as you can ... Click the play button on the video above to see how To flatten your lower abs
An Even faster way to get flat abs using a piece of string ...- Place one of your fingers on your belly button
- Without taking in a deep breath. Move your belly button inward just a little bit from your finger but not as far away as you did in the first TVA exercise -
- Tie a piece of string (or rope) not too tightly around your midsection.
- Every time you relax your TVA muscles... the rope will tighten up around your waist reminding you to tighten your TVA muscles.
- You can do this exercise all day long if you want to. You can do it at work, home, or at the mall... It doesn't matter and people won't know you're exercising because they wont see the rope tied around your belly under your shirt.
- And Everyday If you can stand it... Keep moving your belly button in a little further. Click the play button on the video above to see how this is done.

Kyle,
You can get a flat stomach rather quickly doing this exercise daily - You should see flatter abs within 3 days

james,
this exercise will help you flatten your midsection but to get rid of belly FAT you need to go on a fat loss plan (find a free belly fat loss plans at NowLoss.com)
Hey adrian,
are you saying that if I do this TVA exercise, this would be all I need to lose belly fat and get some abs? Or do I need to do other exercises as well (ie threadmill running, lifting weights)
thanks.

Muthusami from India,
DO NOT HOLD YOUR BREATH! - it may seem hard not to do so at first but with practice you'll get it.
When you breathe you take away from your TVA muscles (flat tummy muscles) doing all the work
While I am doing the TVA muscles exercise, I tend to hold my breathe. Is this wrong way of doing the exercise. Please clarify. Thanks.

gloria,
I'm sorry - I can't answer that question neither because I don't know what ulcerative colitis is but what you can do is...
Show your doctor this exercise and ask him if this can help you in your condition

Mikey,
My only guess is that you're caving in your chest and rounding out your upper back as you're doing this exercise so if this is the case...
Don't do it anymore and focus on just moving your TVA muscles - it takes time for some people to learn how to properly isolate thier TVA muscles and
If this doesn't help - please contact me again and we'll try to figure this out
hey adrian,
while doing the exercise, i feel tension/pain in my upper back. why is this so?
thanks

When I read this I was shocked. I have always done this exercise
without knowing it's an actual exercise. I've had 3 kids, and I'm
not exactly in the best shape of my life. But one thing I have always
had pride in is how flat my stomach is in comparison to the rest
of my body. Even when I'm walking around the house doing chores
I'm constently holding in my belly button. Recently I have started
doing pilates, and they always say pull your belly button to the
spine to strenghten your core. There is no doubt in my mind that
this really works.
Hey adrian, i have a slight midriff on my tummy,
are you saying that these excerises actually work and how long do
i need to keep doing them b4 i see a result? do i need to change
my diet to? many thanx
lol i didn't know there was such a muscle, but now that i think
of it. I use this muslce all the time to hold in my stomach,while
breathing, when im around people. So that means I'm already advanced
I just have a problem with my lower ab fat.
P.S. in addition to my strong abs it seems I have a 4 pack heh that
sucks. Cool technique anyways.

Look at the second video where you use a rope around your waist
- This exercsie can be done all day long because as you relax your
TVA muscles the rope will become tight reminding you to pull in
your TVA muscle. This will not overwork your TVA muscle
Hanging leg raise where you lift your hips are the best ab exercises
because these are the only ab exercises where you abs actually have
to contract to work.
I hope this helps - and if not jsut leave another comment

Adrian, are u saying in the videos above we have to train the
TVA an hour a day to get a flat tummy? That sounsds too much for
one muscle.
Tom
breathe normally? holding your breath takes away from the work
your TVA muscles do. When you breathe normally your TVA muscles
do all the work
Adrian Bryant - the guy who made NowLoss.com
Hi Adrien,
Thanks for the wonderful article and the CD.
Question - while working the TVA can I just draw my tummy in and
continue to breathe normally, or do I also have to hold my breath
as long as I am sucking it in?
Do you think holding the breath will give better results than continuing
to breathe normally?
Thanks a lot.

I have a pooch, and I don't now how to get rid of it. I work
out all the time. Everytime I gain weight thats where it goes. Please
let me know how, I can get a firm, flat stomach
Haley
It sounds like your TVA muscles are weak and you just need to
work them.
Did you read the article? try doing the TVA exercise where you tie
the string around your belly all day and remember if you have fat
around your belly , you have to burn that fat off
A easy way to do that is to visit

Step_by_S...lose_weight.htm and read that article on burning
fat or vsit

I recently quit smoking & have not gained a pound, however, my
tummy (which was flat before) is now a bulge & my clothes which
fit beautifully at a size 4 now are tight & ugly fitting. Please
Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

I would keep doing the TVA exercises for getting a flat tummy
and you also concentrate on doing more anaerobic or interval type
of exercises.
Please go to http://www.nowloss.com/inner-thigh.htm
to learn more about an uphill sprint activity you can do to burn
fat quickly.
To learn more about intervals please visit
http://www.nowloss.com/ Weight_Lo...ss_exercise.htm
Remember: It's not the ab exercises it's the fat burning exercsies
and the TVA that will lead to a flat belly.
