I’ve been misconstruing draw-in as “pulling in the belly,” but apparently not.
Different example
- Hold your breath and pull in your stomach with a yelp.
- The belly is retracted.
- Can you breathe or walk in that state?
- →I can’t do it.
- So it cannot be sustained.
A slightly better example
- Squeeze the belly without holding your breath.
- Mainly the upper half of the belly tightens while still being able to breathe.
- They need to tighten up their hips in addition to here.
- It is sometimes described as “tightening the asshole,” but apparently it refers to tightening not only there but also the surrounding muscles in general.
- In my wife’s case, when she walks while doing it, it comes to the inside of her thighs.
- This is probably due to X-leg and knee adduction, which are common in women, being pulled back.
- It doesn’t feel that way when I do it.
- be crazy about
- This is probably because I am katana and wakizashi to begin with.
- You mean “contraction of the transversus abdominis muscle pulls on the thoracolumbar fascia, which extends behind the hips”?
- Kegel muscle ？
- Tightening the pelvis?
-
- Oh, I see. That’s the kind of muscle you have.
The posture of lying on your face, elbows up, lazily fiddling with your phone.
- At this point, from the dove tail down, you’re on the floor in a sticky mess.
- Belly pressed hard against the floor.
- Tightening the abdomen from this position reduces the pressure on the abdomen.
- (really float).
- Change is easy to understand
- I’d float if I tried, but right now I’m pretty much giving it my all and putting all my energy into it.
- If you put your shoulders and stuff like that, it’s going to be something else.
- I need to be able to just tighten my belly while looking at my phone.
I traced the photo from the side.
- Gray is when you do nothing
- I’ve been told it was a draw-in, and I’ve been pulling back to red, yay!
- This takes a lot of energy and doesn’t last.
- If you keep it to about blue, you can walk, etc. in that state.
- My wife said, “Shouldn’t we do this several times a day, right down to the red?”
- In a stimulating sort of way, I think it does.
- As for whether or not the belly shows on the T-shirt, if it’s gray, it does, but if it’s blue, it doesn’t.
