7 Breathing Exercises To Flatten Your Belly

Breathing is an involuntary process and we don’t need any extra effort in order to breathe, but in reality, breathing simply is not enough in itself to sustain a healthy life; breathing correctly is vital to living longer, stay in a happy mood and keep away illnesses.

Different types of breathing can have great effects on the body such as relieving tension, detoxifying the body, and even helping you lose weight. Yes, you can actually lose weight and inches around your belly, just by breathing!

Here are a few breathing exercises that help flatten your tummy:

1. Stomach Vacuum breathing

This breathing exercise makes you exhale all the air out of your lungs. It also helps you suck in your tummy to the maximum. This will help you to bring out your abs hidden under the layers of fat.

You need to start the exercise by placing your knees and hands on the ground. Your back should stay curved in order to help build the vacuum. Exhale completely and suck your belly in.

Hold this position for 10 seconds. Release your breath slowly and repeat the same method 10 times every day, to notice the best results.

If you are unable to inhale and exhale for a few seconds, you may be breathing fast. If you are standing, practice this exercise while sitting down.
