Vercetti,
He probably just need to keep at it until his TVA gets stronger and remember...
This exercise will help make his tummy flatter but he need to lose belly fat for his tummy to be truly flat

Me again... My son is short and 13. Tva thing doesn't work. Could it be he just needs to grow more and stretch his stomach out for it to be thin? By the way, they do work for me... Thanks!

Vercetti,
Most people see results right away because they've never worked their TVA muscles before

How long should it take, maybe, before It starts to work, by example?

Adrian,
Thank you so much for giving us this information. I am not overweight(I think?? 5'3" 120lbs??) but I have a poochy stomach so I will give these exercises a try.
Question for you - I sit at a computer most of the day - will my TVA muscles get strong fast by doing the exercises at my desk or is it better for me to take breaks where I can do them while standing up?
Thanks

Yes I think it will help but then again - I'm not a therapist so it's best you ask a therapist their advice on this

YES - you can do this exercise as long as you want but I wouldn't wear the rope while sleeping

Jhun,
I think the rope or string would be better and I don't even know what an abdominal binder is plus...
You don't really need to do the rope (It's only used as a reminder) and...
you can get great flat tummy results if you do TVA exercises for 10min in the morning & evening
Adrian Bryant |

can i use d abdominal binder instead of a rope? i used to wear one applying the same principle and i get good amount of sweat when i remove it after several hours

Hi Adrian! I’m 17 and homecoming is coming up and the dress I have shows my stomach and lovehandles. I was wondering will these exercises (with a rope) help flatten my stomach in a week so that my dress doesn't show my stomach and lovehandles?

Anu,
YES - you can reduce your pot belly by doing this flat tummy exercise that strengthens your TVA muscles and you DO NOT suck in your gut...
You PULL IN your TVA muscles and...
You can do this as often as you like

Hello,
I am not very thin but I have a slim body. My stomach alone is protruding out and I have a big tummy. Will I be able to reduce the pot belly if I follow ur workouts like "sucking in my gut"?
Is it true? How long will it take to get a flat stomach by doing this? How many times a day should I do these ( each one)? Should I do all of these workouts(sucking the gut) everyday? Should I do them only when my stomach is empty, I mean can I do them after eating?
Plz answer to all of my questions. Plz help me!!!
Anu |

Carmen,
Let me translate...
It's not suck in your gut it's...
Pull in your TVA (transverse abs) muscles to firm up those muscles making your tummy flat
Adrian Bryant |

I can summarize the 8-minute video in four words: SUCK IN YOUR GUT!!

Every weight loss activity helps you lose belly fat but how fast you lose belly fat depends on long you & how intense you do it.

alissa,
The good news is that it seems like you're doing the exercise right and you just need to keep practicing this exercise daily until yout TVA muscles get strong enough for you to pull in your lower belly

Sarah,
I'm having a hard time finding out exactly where the fat is you're trying to lose but I think... doing the Exercises for Posture (Back & Shoulders) listed here may help tone up that area

Vanessa,
It's okay to wear a waist slimmer but why wear a waist slimmer when you can naturally make your waist slimmer with this EZ exercise video here and you're waist will be slimmer permanently without you having to wear any equipment.

Hi Adrian! Is it okey if i use a waist slimmer for a whole day? or is it okey to use waist trimmer at all?

John,
I really don't understand what're asking but...
If you're asking if this exercise will burn as much fat as cardio then the answer is NO...
This exercise only makes your TVA muscles stronger so your abs will be flatter and as far as I know...
There aren't any problems that may arise concerning your nutrition or health if you continue doing this exercise
Adrian Bryant |
07.11.08 - 12:09 pm | #

Is this exercise healthier or worse than doing normal exercise, such as cardio or working out? Are there any problems that may arise concerning your nutrition or health as you continue this exercise?

janet,
No - don't hold your breath and to get a better workout....
Exhale before doing this exercise or... exhale right before pulling in your belly button and then just try to breathe normally
Adrian bryant |

when doing the first couple of exercises, are you supposed to hold your breath?

cjuarez103106,
Doing this flat tummy exercise by placing your finger 1-to-2 inches below your belly button will help but...
You also need to lose fat to completely get rid of the lower belly pooch and...
It's fine to lose 10 pounds a week if you're overweight but usually - when you lose more than 3 pounds a week - it's a good sign you'll gain that weight back but it you can sustain that weight loss plan long term then go for it but...
Since you probably won't - go here for better long term weight loss programs

Lily,
Feel free to bother me as much as you want to until you get the body you want! but...
The rope exercise is a more advanced part of this exercise that is meant to be done for longer periods of time like at least 2 hours at a time and you don't want to start off pulling in your belly all the way in with the rope because it may be too hard for you.
Work up by pulling it in 1/2 inch and so on - the 1 minute holds you're talking about are the "beginnger" moves for this exercise so with the rope...
Don't tuck in for a minute and release - you keep it tucked in all day long if you can but start off with a 1 hour tuck in working up to most of the day and here's what the rope does...
Once you relax your TVA muscles - the rope will tighten up reminding you to keep your abs tucked in so the rope trains you or forces you to keep your TVA muscles tight and strong to make your tummy flat and...
If you need more help still - please contact me ASAP but I urge you to watch the video again plus read the description below to fully understand
Adrian bryant |

I am so sorry to bombard you again with comments. I do still have questions again, so sorry to bother you.. I have been working out and losing inches/pounds excpet for my pot belly. It just doesn't go away, im still eating properly and avoiding bad carbs..
I want to ask again for the exercises using rope. I can do all day but i want to make sure if im doing the right techniquies. I got a month left before going to hot paradise so i can wear bikini.
When tying the rope around the midsection, tuck in for a minute, then come out, again tuck in for a minute and come out? how long to come out, for 30 seconds to a minute or?
Tuck in for a minute, then come out for a minute, tuck in for a minute and then come out for a minute and so on??
i am so sorry to bother you

Lily,
Yes - you can do it during meals if you're eating smaller meals during the day to help with fat loss -it may not be a good idea to do this while overeating or having too big of a meal but when you first start doing this exercise...
It may take you some time where you're tva muscles are strong enough that you can eat and still do this exercise properly
Adrian bryant |
06.06.08 - 8:04 pm | #

what about meals, can still use rope during meals or better 2 hours prior to meals or after 2 hours?
thanks

You can do this exercise as many times as you want to and as a matter of fact - you want to work up to a point where you're wearing the string most of the day.

I have a question
After watching the video of how to get rid of pot belly instantly
How many times do I have to tuck my stomach (away from 3 inches of finger) while breathing normal for a minute, but how many times a day? 3 or 4 every 5 minutes or???
Will it work if when I tuck my stomach and tie the rope for couple of minutes but breath normallly? How long to be tied with the rope?
--------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
yeah and also what about food, or just use on empty stomach or?
I can tie the rope around my tummy, but what about food? or better 2 hours after food or?
thanks

NO and there's no need to since you can do this exercise all day long if you wanted to but...

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)

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.

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
