Shape your belly Reviews

I teach women how to reverse incontinence & prolapse symptoms, so that they don’t need to cross their legs when they sneeze or laugh. To reactivate their deep core for a flatter belly and smaller waist. To decompress their spine so that they alleviate their nagging lower back pain. With a gentle training, anybody can start at any age or fitness level. Why should every woman try this? Low Pressure Fitness (hypopressive) is a breathing & postural training. It is called low pressure, as we decrease the pressure in the abdominal cavity,  the pressure on the pelvic floor and on the belly.  We do this by breathing to the ribcage and not to the belly, where most of us would breathe normally. This change in the breathing pattern, the opening of the ribcage activates the deep core:  the diaphragm, the pelvic floor & the inner abdominal muscle, the 'corset ab' (transverse abdominis), which works like a built-in corset: It wraps around the whole waist.  If this muscle is strong and toned, it pulls in the belly and the sides, the waist will be smaller, the belly flatter  and will look toned even if we don't lose any weight. This is usually the first sign which everybody notices after starting LPF. Then, we reprogram the pelvic floor to coactivate with the diaphragm: When we inhale, the pelvic floor lowers and relaxes, when we exhale, it  lifts and the muscles contract. It is like training any muscle: contraction and relaxation. So we tone & strengthen the pelvic floor, but also teach it to relax. This means less incontinence, reducing prolapse symptoms, and also less abdominal pain, eg. during period.  Then let's get to the postural part, which is just as important as the breathing. We decompress the spine, and stretch the big muscle chains. This means less back pain, better mobility, flexibility, and improved posture. Actually, we use the same postural rules, that a physiotherapist or doctor would tell you to use. And you will even feel your confidence boosting as you see your beautiful ballerina-like posture in the mirror or shop windows. And lastly, with ribcage breathing we stimulate the Vagus nerve, which is the main nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system, which lets us calm down, decreases anxiety and stress. You will finish each training feeling relaxed and calm, and this is something all of us need today.  It is an amazing training system, helping all women to live a full, quality life. See more
