Suck in that gut and keep moving...even in your office chair!

One of the things I love about my job is that i can choose how and when I want to work. I love being out with people and I also love being home. When I'm in my office, I have to be intentional about getting up and moving and not slouching in my chair. I love to go out on the hammock and make some calls or take a walk with Roxi out back.
So, I just want to remind you that are in an office environment all day long to pick up some good habits that keep that circulation going because it will help you in the long run. A good chair is very important and also how you sit. And there are some simple exercises to   help get your stomach in shape ( well, a good shape, that is)  So suck up your gut! Move it!!

  Here are some ideas.



Abdominal Vacuum

The abdominal vacuum may very well the single most basic ab exercise you can do, but it is the most important. Being able to actively and consciously contract your abdominal muscles and hold your core in place is a skill that is needed for all other exercises. Holding the vacuum exercise will strengthen your abs, more and more so over time, if you incrementally increase the amount of time you perform it. All you have to do is sit on the edge of your office chair with your feet flat on the floor. Then with your spine straight, pull in your stomach as much as you can and hold the squeeze.
