Activate Your Internal Weight Belt When Working Out
The transverse abdominis is the deepest of the abdominal muscles and it lies under the obliques and wraps around your spine for protection and stability. Think of the transverse abdominis as “your internal weight belt.” It is recruited when you draw in your navel toward your spine during an exercise.
For example, when you are doing squats, lunges or standing shoulder presses, draw in your navel toward your spine and contract your glutes. You really don’t need a weight belt unless you are rehabilitating from an injury. Learn to stabilize your own body.

Working that core really pays off! Thanks. Great Tip.
Yes it does…core work prevents many painful injuries!
I’ll try it, couldn’t hurt.
Trust me Zina, it works! It might feel strange at first, but you’ll get used to it.
