T_here is a way to ‘cheat’ getting a slimmer waist in the short term, by activating
your Transversus Abdominus (TVA). T_he TVA acts like a corset for all your
other core muscles, and the stronger it is, the tighter your abs will become, which in turn will
flatten the outline of your stomach. Unfortunately though, it won’t reduce body fat. To activate
your TVA simply pull your belly button in and up towards your spine for small periods of time.
Yoga disciples call this ‘zipping up’. While being zipped up, relax your other muscles and talk
and breathe in a normal manner. As your TVA becomes stronger, you’ll be able to hold this
position for longer until eventually you get to the stage where it’s “turned on” all the time
