SUCKING IN all day may be making your

TikTok Caption — Stop Sucking In Your Tummy Always SUCKING IN your tummy to hide your “mommy pouch”? 👀 That strategy might be doing less for your core than you think. I get it. You put on the tight dress, leggings, or swimsuit and your first instinct is to pull everything in. But sucking in creates a temporary flat tummy illusion—it doesn’t teach your core to function better. Your core isn’t just a group of muscles. It’s a PRESSURE SYSTEM. 🫁 Constantly holding your stomach in can interfere with how your rib cage, diaphragm, abdominal wall, and pelvic floor coordinate to manage and distribute pressure. Instead of constantly pushing pressure forward, let’s teach your core to expand 360°. 🔄 TRY THIS: Lie over a stability ball and gently allow it to limit expansion through the front of your abdomen. Think: → Compress the front → Expand the sides + back → Inhale into your lateral ribs, back, and armpits → Exhale and gently melt into the ball Feel your entire core canister expand and contract—not just your belly pushing forward. The goal isn’t to keep your stomach sucked in all day. It’s to teach your core HOW to manage pressure, breathe, stabilize, and move. 💪🏼 And when your core starts functioning better, the aesthetics can follow. ✨ Your core doesn’t need more tension. It needs better strategy. #CoreTraining #DeepCore #DiastasisRecti #PostpartumFitness #MommyPouch
