Stomach vacuuming isn't some fad piece of equipment that sucks the fat out of your belly. It's an actual fitness movement that has been around for quite a while.<\/p>\n

But does stomach vacuuming actually work?<\/p>\n

Having a sculpted midsection is one part of a fit and healthy body, but a strong core and toned abs aren't just about looking great!<\/p>\n

A strong midsection is also a sign of overall strength and fitness.<\/p>\n

Having a strong core is the foundation of all other strength moves, and also helps reduce your risk of injuries.<\/p>\n

So, back to stomach vacuuming. While this exercise has garnered more awareness of late, it has actually been touted for a long time in building a strong core.<\/p>\n

It also goes by the names of the abdominal drawing-in maneuver or abdominal hollowing.<\/p>\n

Here's everything you need to know about stomach vacuuming and if it's right for you.<\/p>\n

Why Is A Strong Core Important?<\/h2>\n

Almost every move you make and most exercises you do requires the activation of your core muscles.<\/p>\n

Getting up out of a chair, walking, bending, and lifting all require strong abs, back, and leg muscles to stabilize your body and prevent injury.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, women begin losing muscle mass as they age, something known as sarcopenia.<\/p>\n

On top of that, sedentary occupations, like desk jobs, lead to poor posture and a weak core<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This puts women at a higher risk of developing back pain or other injuries.<\/p>\n

However, strengthening the abs improves balance, coordination, and stability.<\/p>\n

Numerous studies have looked at the relationship between core strength and low back and lower extremity injuries.<\/p>\n

For example, one meta-analysis found that a training program that includes core stabilizing workouts helps to meet the demands associated with daily activities, exercise, and sports training<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Building a strong core requires more than crunches or planks.<\/p>\n

Just like any other muscle group in the body, the core muscles need to contract against resistance to build strength.<\/p>\n

Both isometric and weighted exercises are a great stimulus for growth.<\/p>\n

So choosing exercises that engage specific core muscles will not only give you a great-looking physique but can also improve your health and overall quality of life.<\/p>\n

One of these ab strengthening exercises is an isometric move known as stomach vacuuming.<\/p>\n
