Fitness Friday * Say “sshhhhhhhh”
As you say it, put your hands on your stomach and feel the contraction. That’s your transverse abdominus and diaphragm contracting, creating tension in the core and strengthening your extremities.
The louder your “sshhh,” the better. Use it when you’re strength training – it’s most effective for core stabilization exercises such as squats, push-ups, and Pilates moves.
“Sshhh” also helps you breathe with your abs. Saying “sshhh” oxygenates the body, increases strength, tones abs, and reduces neck tension.
Even when you’re just sitting at your desk or waiting at a red light, you can “sshhh” your way to a better body.
