The Closely-Guarded Secrets of having a Flat Stomach, Strong Back and Better Sex

You see people around with trim waistlines and great posture. Ladies that are so confident. Men striding firmly, looking fit and strong. You think it’s all about the crunches and sit-ups at the gym. You tried all of that but no results could be seen. You sweated buckets. Or maybe you have back pain that is so darn painful that you just cannot bend forward to do crunches or sit-ups. You are so frustrated that you want to look slim and yet your very own body doesn’t let you. Or have you been in the position where sex is not quite up to what it’s been? Or do you men have premature ejaculation, the taboo sex topic that is never asked or revealed in public?

Well, guess what? The closely-guarded secrets to a strong back, a great waistline and better sex is to ….

Strengthen your core muscles.

Strengthen your core muscles : HOW???

There are two secrets to this :

Secret #1 : The Horse Stance a.k.a. Bird Dog

Check out this article (click here). This post explains all about which of our muscles that helps to support our entire body. There are two : lower abdominals and transversus abdominis muscle (TVA). I didn’t know all these until it was explained to me by my coach. That the TVA was a natural muscle belt that helps to support our bodies.

What was so shocking was the exercise that helped to strengthen these two muscles. It was so simple that it was so effective. If you scroll further down the article, you can see the exercise that I had to learn how to do to strengthen those supporting muscles.

Because of my slipped disc, it was difficult to move much so I started with the exercise in Figure 6, move on to Figure 7, then Figure 8. I actually skipped Figure 9 and went onto a bug walk, then onto a Swiss Ball and on a wobbly disc for hand support.

After two weeks of doing Figure 6, I notice that my stomach was getting flatter and flatter. In fact, when I do these exercises, my stomach was getting extremely flat and that’s without any situps or crunches! When I realized that, I did this move all the time and I’ve been doing it every since to maintain my slim figure. So, killing two birds with one stone : strong back + slim waistline = win win!

How often did I do it? Early in the morning when I wake up.

Secret #2 : Kegel Exercises for a Stronger Back

Hang on! You’re thinking what has Kegel Exercise have anything to do with strengthening the core? I’m going to explain in what my coach told me. I probably will get it wrong but I’m sure she’ll correct me soon. :) Basically, when I Kegel, it also helps to activate the multifidus muscle which is a thin back muscle that supports my spine. Also, because of my slipped disc injury, my muscles were so weak that I had to RE-LEARN how to use it again. And the easiest way to do that was to do Kegel Exercises.

Here’s a Mayo Clinic Article on how to kegel properly for ladies. Also the Wikipaedia article and a brief history of the person who developed the exercise.

SO WHERE DOES THE BETTER SEX COME IN???

It’s here : read this article for men on how to do Kegel exercises. Enjoy reading that one! I love the sassy dating coach in the video. :)

How often should you Kegel? I do it everytime I sit down and when I get up. Why? Because that’s the time when you may not be able to control your bladder (continence). So it’s a great time to remember to Kegel.

And that’s it! Two extremely simple-to-do exercises for a Flat Stomach, Strong Back and Better Sex. Plus, it’s because it’s so simple that people find it hard to do. But once they realized the benefits (and with sex, reap it!), people usually stay motivated to do it regularly, daily and continuously. If I can do it, so can you! Besides, check out the results :)

Where is the stomach?

    Thanks :) Agree that “simple” can be a lot easier than “complex.” Once that nagging little voice in the head becomes quieter, things just falls into place.

    My back is getting stronger and it’s a day at a time. There are good days and there are not so good days but each day is a day of strength that can only get better and better. :)

  2. Sometimes “simple” can be so much more effective than “complex.” Thanks for sharing these exercises, and I hope your back is now healthy and strong.

    LOL! Yeah, that’s true :) I’m working on getting over my big wall of self-consciousness but you’re right. So temporarily, I’m parking my transformation picture up as a header while I get that sorted out. Woo hoo! Thanks Dr. Jiang!
