    Correct breathing is essential. I had to practise this for weeks and I'm still working on it. I can't imagine how these exercises are supposed to help. I couldn't find any successes in all the comments either.
    Instead of doing these I prefer to continue with my vacuum abs. I started 6 weeks ago and have already achieved great results.
    but this lower belly still sticks out a bit too much if i relax fully..
    The transversus abdominus is the only muscle in this region that can pull the pooch belly in at all. In my opinion, it makes sense to train this muscle.

    Thanks very much, Conor. I've learned a great deal watching your videos. I've had a problem breathing for 4 years - an experience of air hunger which occurs when being static. However, air hunger sensation goes when physically active. This seemed to have physicians stumped. I had lung x-ray, abdomen CT scan, cardiovascular stress test, blood tests et al. It was great these tests were undertaken for the sake of clinical investigation but no one mentioned the basis of the problem could be postural.

    *I made a stretching table. You strap your feet in and your shoulders (while you are in a laying down position on the table). Then, with a remote, I have a winch hooked up and it slowly yanks the shoulder harness away from the static leg straps. Thus stretching out your spine.*

    I am doing physical therapy now for core rehab, this stuff is sooooo difficult. I discovered I had wrong breathing patterns. My physio asked me if my rib cage was always this wide, mind that I have upper abs, and from a ct scan it’s clear I don’t have a lot of fat but still a pouch belly. But I have a diastasis and scars for 2 c sections. I am going to try it, to me it’s fascinating to understand how we work. And many time we have the illusion to have the correct posture, the correct breathing and we discover that was just that, an illusion 😆
