While there is no way to spot reduce fat through exercising or diet alone, one of the best ways to ensure a flatter stomach is by strengthening your core.  In recent years, several forms of exercise have become popular that address this group of muscles, which are located in the abdomen, lower back and pelvis.  They’ve been endorsed by Hollywood celebrities and models, who tout the longer, leaner look they’ve achieved through these low-impact exercises that are popular for their flowing, graceful movements and ease of practice.  Many can be practiced at home, though some may require special equipment.  Pilates, yoga, and use of an exercise ball are the most popular examples of these core exercises.

Pilates is the newest craze in core exercising, though it has been around since the first World War.  The focus here is on form and breathing.  Every move has to be carefully conducted, involving all parts of the body.  The main theories include precision and control, rhythm and flow, concentration, balanced muscle development, and centering.  Statistics show there are over 14,000 Pilates instructors in the United States and millions of practitioners.  Moves are easily modified for all fitness levels.  While some complain that Pilates includes complicated equipment and high-priced lessons, there are many instructional videos available that allow you to practice at home for a fraction of the cost.

Yoga is a spiritual practice that originated in India thousands of years ago.  It is not only a form of exercise, but also a way of life for many.  Yoga involves several postures, or asanas, that come together in various sequences.  Yoga poses can be easily modified based on your fitness level.  No special equipment is needed, though some might purchase a yoga mat, block and strap.  There are several variations of yoga in the West, and it is no longer solely a spiritual practice, as many who practice it only regard it as a form of exercise.

The exercise ball is a large inflatable ball used to perform various exercises.  The most popular are sit-ups and push-ups, as the ball forces you to maintain your balance while performing these basic exercises.  This continual balancing act strengthens your core muscles.  Many videos are available, and some incorporate yoga or Pilates as well.  The ball is easily deflated for storage and usually costs less than $20.  It is a convenient way to practice balance in your own home and use traditional exercises to strengthen core muscles.

No matter what exercise method you choose, these are not created for quick weight loss, but rather to give you a longer, leaner look.  You may notice a reduction in inches before a significant drop in body weight.  Be sure to follow a sensible diet, and if cravings are a problem, try a natural appetite suppressant like hoodia to keep you on track.

How can you get and stay tall, long and lifted from the bottom up? What might you be lifting to get there? Can it be maintained without a lot of effort? The answers are Easy! Everything! and Absolutely!

Let’s start by talking about how you stand and how you sit.

While standing do you lean from one hip to another? Are you aware whether both feet are firmly planted and rooted in the ground beneath you. Is your torso twisted or shifted to one side as a result of your weight shift to one hip?

Moving further up, do your shoulders curl forward or are they open? Is your chest caved in or lifted and open? Does your chin and neck protrude forward as if looking for something in front of you? Are your eyes facing along the horizon in front of you or cascading down toward the ground?

From a seated position, in what position would you say your shoulders are placed vis-a-vis your hips? Are they leaning forward or behind the pelvis? Do you feel cramped, slouched and crumpled while sitting?

Lifting Tall from the Bottom Up

To make and keep your consciousness about your posture,in all your activities, I recommend using a postural realignment check as follows. Keep in mind, you want to find and hold each step as you move thru the list successively:

Standing Position

Seated PositionAligning the body for a tall, long and lifted posture is similar from the seated position, except that the distance is shorter from the bottom up.

Start by tucking the tailbone under, wrapping the glute cheeks together, drawing the abdominals in and up to lift the vertebrae of the lower, middle and upper back. Draw the shoulders down the back to their natural “shelf” placement and stack up the cervical spine, lifting your chin and eyes to a horizontal position.

Keeping your legs and/or ankles uncrossed, such that your feet are firmly planted on the ground, will help you find your lifted alignment at any time and in any place.

Using the Tall, Long Lift in Exercise

In a matter of seconds, a good fitness instructor, yoga of pilates teacher will be able to cue and train a student or entire class to find, hold and keep this tall, long and lifted posture whilel performing an exercise on the mat or with specific equipment. Postural and structual alignment as well as abdominal “core” engagement are crucial to walking, working and living tall, long and lifted.
