- Even with a great diet and exercise, abs are sometimes not as toned as we want them to be. The key, after the diet of course, is getting the transverse abdominus muscles to work and to work the right way.
This video shows you have to properly activate these muscles and how to keep them working as you exercises and move.
Dr khurram here from Pakistan I really appreciate your Skills
Thanks so much!
This video is EXACTLY what I need. Thank you --- and I love how upbeat and positive you are.
Engaging the hamstrings to deactivating the hip flexors is a great idea
Love this info and I cant believe i didnt know this.
I am amazed at how simple and sensible you have made EVERY difficult area of focus. BLESS YOU!
Thank you!!
Very sensible exercises. You do a great job Doctor Kristie in explaining and showing the techniques. Very fit figure. Keep it up.
Thank you!
I dont know how I found your vids but glad I did! I have several children and suffer from diastasis recti. When Im in a fitness class I skip all the crunches because it makes my stomach worse and mention this to the instructor they dont know what Im talking about. You are one of the very few people Ive seen to talk about working the transverse abdominal muscles. As soon as I saw the word "transverse" i subscribed 🙂. Thank you for sound advice!!
You are welcome! I’m glad I can help:)
Thank you for keeping it simple! Very much appreciated.
You’re welcome!
1- How many repetitions are you suggesting as a starting point? 2- Do you pull the belly in for as long as you can hold off breathing or for x amount of seconds? 3-Thank you
I typically have people start with 10-15 reps. You do want to make sure you can breath while engaging these muscles so the goal is not to hold the breath.
@drkristieennis how many sets?
Thank you.. All we workout buddies needs this information.... God bless you 🙏💗
You’re welcome 😊 and thank you!
So much nicer and sensible to listen to a woman helping women achieve their weight and health goals. You have explained this aspect very simply, and it’s going to help a lot of women. I’ll be watching the breathing video, as well as the other exercise ones. Thank you.
You’re welcome ☺️
Makes total sense. I think a lot of people do abdominal exercises incorrectly and put themselves through more pain than benefit.
This was very informative. I found when I started to take your advice that my abdominal exercises became easier, probably because I was engaging those muscles you were talking about. I could do a lot more crunches when I pulled my belly in then I could the way I was doing them before.

It is crazy how not ONE fitness 'expert' on youtube has talked about this or emphasised it in case they mentioned it in the passing. Imagine how much it would help everyone! Gosh. Day one, and I am feeling amazing.
I’m glad it is helping so quickly! It’s definitely important 😊
The fact that the diaphragm has to be empty of breath/ air when you contract / work the ,”rectus abdominus “ and other underlying support muscles , is the crucial fact .
In yoga too we have exercises like that in which we expel the breath totally even slightly forcibly and then while the aur is out , we have to contract the muscles , or ,””churn “ it
For basically cleaning the insides but that improves the tone of the whole of underlying muscle connection. In yoga or other exercises no body says this is fir flat stomach .
But
It is very good to know that contracting or working out these core stomach supporting muscles can increase the possibility of a flat stomach . thank you for pointing out that this is what make a the work out mire effective.
Pratima Jha thank you for sharing!
@@drkristieennis your comment gave me the ,” AHa!” Moment . .
Will try and consciously work those muscles of stomach over and under the diaphragm while the air or breath has been expelled.
Thanks .
Pratima Jha hope it helps 😊
Hello doc, I want to thank you for your excellent & very important advice on healthcare regarding mussels, spine, back etc. You’re absolutely amazing and an excellent professional !!! I feel your love and care in each and every word to say. A thanks is not enough, but I would say a thousand thanks 🙏🏻 stars ✨ and fingers up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 for you ❤️😘
That is so kind!! Thank you so much!😊
Honestly, I have read and heard lots about engaging your core for years and was suspicious I didn't do it right and couldn't understand what was being said. This breathing in and out is so simple and painless to do and is so powerful. I can totally do this.
I’m 70 and have back problems - I am going to try this☺️ 🙏
Hope this helps! See if these help too:

I started following the keto plan for eating (from Dr. Eric Berg’s instruction here on RUclips and his books) and the excess weight around my middle and rib cage melted away. It took about 6 weeks and totaled about 15 pounds. I’m actually quite thin otherwise but this annoying extra fat was a real problem especially since it is unhealthy. Now I watch your videos to gain strength and work on my chronic back pain . Thank you for your help💕
This rocks, never had a truly flat tummy, and can't feel those muscles they way I think I should be, thanks alot for a place to start, all your videos have alot to think about!
You are welcome 🤗
Thank you for offering simple exercises we can do for ourselves that don’t stress our neck muscles.

Roleta Fereti Nuuola thank you ☺️
Looks like some pilates basics to me :) I have to admit, my tummy got flatter doing pilates more easily than ever before.
Definitely! I love Pilates:)
@@drkristieenniscould you please upload a video for smaller waist and smaller thighs for those with herniated disc ?
Appreciate you for this. Simple as it is, I never considered it. You're my rock.
I’m so glad I can help 😊
Thank you! This seems like it will be a game changer for me! I always find exactly what I need to know at the exact right time, and this is it! Just said on Friday, I need to start working on reducing belly fat. And Viola! You appear on my thread!😁😊🙋🏽♀️
That’s awesome! Hope you see results soon:)
This is such a great video, thank you so much!!!!!

I’m so glad I can help you on your journey!
Oh my gosh I’m SO very glad I found you!!! It’s late at night but I know what I’m gonna be watching tomorrow 😉👍.
You are AWESOME and I’m excited to check out more of your videos - let the learning begin!

Aww! Thanks so much!
I just found this Channel and follow all your instructions! Surprisingly I did earned a flat tummy without hurting my back. 😊I'm a new subscriber now! Thank you so much
You’re so welcome! I’m glad this worked for you:)
Your exercise really helped me in covid when I was just sitting at home,thank u,guys its really work
I’m so glad!! You are welcome!
Little wonder that in baseball, the home run hitter has the perfect form or say the best powerlifter also has impeccable form. When it comes to doing any exercise to get the desired results, it's important to pay attention to all the details that go into making the correct form. If you cheat at one (knowingly or unknowingly) it all falls apart. It's better to do 1 correct repetition that 10 poor ones. I think you've hit it right on the spot with this tutorial. Thanks and keep up the good work. ✌🏼️👊🏼
Thanks so much! You are right! Form is important in everything we do:)
Really appreciate this.
Can you post a link to the breathing exercises? Can’t seem to find.
Thanks SO very much.
Thanks. I would like to see other exercises for a flat tummy please. Send me the links .
See if these help:)

Thanks for something so simple!
You’re welcome!
Thank you. Explanation of engaging the core is made simple
You’re welcome!
Amazing how the majority of ab videos don't go into such detail about what works and what doesn't.
Makes sense to me since I do ab and cardio exercises nightly and still have "the pooch".
Gained 12 forever lbs. during this pandemic and can't get rid of it - ugh!
Darn this pandemic for so many reasons! Hope this video will help:)
I use 40% of these workout videos 7 days a week sometimes twice a day none of them work. I eat less and healthy. I feel they are on here to make money
@@barbarannsymes3606 I get what you're saying. It can be disappointing but at least we are toning up. Keep at it, something is better than nothing!
Omg I completely love you right now !!! Was bad off for 3 days multiple meds later and tense unit multiple times but this was my saving grace released most of my pain instantly after about 15 min. Thank you sooo much for saving 🥰😘😘😘😘.
You are so welcome!😊

Finally someone saying sensible things, it IS indeed a "struggling bug" - that's what I tell my students as well.
Thank you so much that's the simplest explanation I've ever heard an the best.
You are welcome! I’m glad it makes sense:)
I was sick with metal toxicity for 4 years from an orthopedic implant. I worked so hard to gain weight for 4 years and doctors and everyone was on my case. People all thought I was dying and I was. But i finally gained weight and it is catching up to me.
Oh my goodness! I’m so glad they figured that out! Are you able to exercise now?
Oops, I was practicing these moves and fat fingered the "dislike" button....😮 I fixed it. I really like this video! It's in my thrice weekly rotation.
Thank you and thanks for correcting the dislike button:)
Great for the core, great, I believe you can do this standing too
Thank you Dr. Kristie Ennis ! l will try it out ! 💕
You’re welcome ☺️
Struggling Bug...LOVE IT! 🐞😂
Thanks! I just had a patient call it the struggling turtle:)
I've always worked out and enjoyed flat abs. A year ago I had a horrific accident, falling down a flight of stairs backwards and broke my back.....fractured the T11 and burst the T12 vertebrae. Can no longer do crunches. Currently, not in the shape I'm used to, so looking forward to doing your abs workout, given that there is no stress on spine. I have to be careful. Had 24 sessions PT, and doing really well. Can walk 6-10 miles with ease; sitting for a length of time causes achiness, no inhibiting pain, but I know the back isn't what it used to be. So thanks. Also been plant based since 2006, and my physician said if I weren't eating that way and working out, I would have had a year recovery.
I’m so sorry you have gone through all this! Way to go on taking your health into your own hands and looking for ways to progress 😊
@@drkristieennis Thanks. Using your exercises!!

After you exhale and pull the tummy in. Do you continue to hold it in whole breathing, or do the whole fill up and pull in movement?
New subscriber I love your content and your enthusiasm

Thank you so much Dr, just subscribed ♥️♥️😁😁👍👍
Thank you for pointing out that I have to keep my stomach in. It is easy to push it no out especially during crunches.
You’re welcome! That’s an issue I see a lot:)
Hey! I look forward to doing those exercises, but my only concern is, does anyone know if all those exercises are scoliosis safe? I have scoliosis and i still want to slim my waist. Thank you!
Totally agree with you. Unflexal is awesome for my daily practice

Hello! I’m a new sub 😊 great ab tips, thank you! I’m a golfer and will use these to help strengthen my core. I’ve just started my golf season and both wrists are screaming at me after hitting balls. Anything I can do to help? I’ve done wrist exercises but they don’t seem to help. A friend mentioned it could be my forearms?? What do you think? Thanks again!
Thanks for subscribing! Often times, overuse of the wrist causes an issue. The muscles go from the wrist to the elbow so can cause a problem anywhere along that line. Check out this video to see if it helps:

Thanks so much
thank you.
You mean I have to watch what I eat to lose weight? Thats my problem right there. Excellent video of course.
Crazy idea, right? :) Thank you!
😂
Great tip and one to be part of every day movement. Very easy and once engaged in everything you do as second nature, absolutely useful in flattening that stomach. LOL, next the padding... your right, you are what you eat. Thank you my dear for bringing back some common sense to make actions efficient!
You are most welcome! I’m glad you are able to engage properly:)
Excellent. You make it look so easy
Thank you:)
Excellent...thank you!
You’re welcome!
Wow thanks plain an simple
You’re welcome!
This seems helpful but the part that I don't understand is what you mean by pulling in the belly muscles. Could you please clarify?
Thanks lot
How many times we need to do these for those who suffering from back pain and tail bone pain
Very simple and awesome. Your the best!
Thank you 😊
I am a new subscriber and love ❤️ watching your videos!! You look like you are in you early 20s by the way just out of college. Thank you again 😊
Thanks so much for subscribing and I’m glad you like the videos! I’m wayyyy out of college but thank you for being so nice 😊
The lies you tell😂🤣😂
@@trudyjose9978 what are you talking about?
Well he'll Girl.
Yes Girl I say, we never see anyone over 60 doing the exercise program.
Now you might have some things of interest, but you have lost my interest.
Go well for yourself, in life.
I do wish you Well, but I am GONE.
Good my neck hurts doing ab workout
mine too, and lower back
Look straight up, hold the face right up when you do abs. This will reduce your neck pain.
Mine too and lower back too
I have been looking for a routine for my lower back. I know there's a connection between the pelvis and lower back. I need relief.
Hope this helps! Check out this video too:

Thanks
You’re welcome!
Making sense of the struggling bug--super!
Thanks! It’s definitely a great exercise to get those muscles:)
Dr I have sciatica since 2018. Is it ok to do this exercise with my sciatica nerve pain? I have slim body with hip and belly fat. I want to reduce it. Does this exercise help it? Thank you very much. Love from Srilanka 🇱🇰
I certainly have had patients with sciatica some of these but everyone is different so it’s always good to check with your doctor first.
Thank you for this video. I’ll try to do it everyday. 🦅🦅🇺🇸
You’re welcome! I hope you notice a difference:)
Hey, great video! Is this okay for people who have a small disc bulge their l4 and l5?
