Deep Stomach Vacuum & Rib Control – Upper and Lower Belly Isolation
A detailed solo body-control session focused on the changing shape of my stomach, ribs, and upper torso.
I begin with my lower and upper belly, drawing both inward to show a pronounced abdominal hollow. The repeated demonstrations keep the focus on the difference between the lower stomach near the hip bones and the upper abdomen directly beneath the ribs.
Next, the attention moves higher to the area beneath my sternum. I work on drawing in the upper belly while showing how the outline of my rib cage changes with each exhale and contraction. This section gives you a closer comparison between lower-belly control and the deeper hollow beneath the ribs.
The following sequence changes the contrast: I relax my belly while focusing on the chest and rib cage. Instead of keeping the whole torso contracted at once, I show the difference between a softer stomach and a more defined upper-body outline.
For the final section, I bring the movements together, drawing in my abdomen while showing the changing definition of my ribs and chest. Repeated contractions and breathing breaks let you follow the transitions between individual muscle isolation and a coordinated torso pose.
The emphasis throughout is clear body detail: lower-belly contraction, upper-abdominal hollowing, rib movement, relaxed-versus-contracted comparisons, and repeated solo demonstrations.
