About this listen
It's thousands of years old and is the one exercise Arnold Schwarzenegger credits for creating his flat stomach.
So why is the stomach vacuum barely used today? And could it truly be history's most under-utilized exercise?
Recent studies have found the stomach vacuum:
- Fights protrusion of the stomach by tightening the transverse abdominis, the body's corset muscle
- Helps with lifts and injury prevention
- Offers postural support and added stability
- Relieves lower back pain
- Treats diastasis recti abdominis, a condition that afflicts up to 60% of women after pregnancy
From the best-selling author of HIIT: High Intensity Interval Training Explained, learn what the science says about the stomach vacuum, how best to perform this core muscle exercise in order to flatten the belly, which positions can be used, and how to progress going forward.

Before beginning a muscle-building program, it is critical to understand its purpose. Muscle is simply the tissue in our body that provides us with the necessary power to move in various directions. As bodybuilders, our primary focus is on skeletal muscle. What exercises can we perform to improve our bodies and increase muscle? It is critical to remember that each individual has a unique body mass. Muscles must be exercised to be strengthened. This necessitates weight training. You can begin with modest weights and gradually increase them.

It is widely believed that improving your appearance will lead to success in other areas; jobs, relationships, personal well-being. And while there are some studies which suggest this is the case - for example, because of the biases which are often expressed against heavier people at school and in the workplace - there are others who argue these effects don't last beyond first impressions. The truth is, devoting too much attention to appearances can damage a person's self-esteem.
