[Music] Hey, Dr. Berg here. In this video, I’m going to show you an exercise that will flatten your stomach. This is specifically good for that little not so beautiful little pooch of fat right in the lower part of the stomach. It’s kind of that flab, that extra skin that you might have developed after several babies or maybe a C-section.

Okay. So, this is what that’s for. And so, what you’re going to do is you’re going to uh do an exercise standing. Now, it’s based on the principle of of um a technique that I developed uh for stretching. And I had a patient actually try this.

And she says, “Dr. Berg, why don’t you actually do this to the stomach? ” And I never thought about it. And she told me and it works great. In fact, if you do this exercise, you’ll see change within about four minutes.

I mean, think about it. What what you’re going to do is you’re going to contract a muscle. And that’s what people do. They do sit-ups. So, they contract the muscle, but what are they doing to the skin?

They’re not toning the skin. They’re not toning anything on top of that muscle. So, what you what tones the skin is the opposite. It’s the extension, okay? Not the flexion.

So, what you’re going to do is you’re going to stand up and you’re going to do the stretch and you’re going to go backwards. So, um, you would stand up, go back all the way, try not to fall on your back, tighten up your glutes, and go forward. Now, just as a word of caution, if you have back pain, you may want to do this very lightly. And when you bend back first, tighten up your stomach muscles and your butt muscles. This will stabilize and protect your back.

Back and forward. Back and forward about 25 times. And then what you’re going to do is you’re going to rest for 30 seconds. Okay? And when you rest, maybe you want to flex forward.

You want to arch your back forward and then go back again. I mean, think about what most people do with sit-ups is they’re they’re flexing. They’re flexing. They’re flexing, but they’re not toning the skin superficially or anything on top of it. So, this is quite amazing.

So, you’re going to do this four sets of 25 with a 30 second rest in between. And you can do it every other day. And then as you get used to it, you can do more and more and more to the point where you’re doing 50 sets every day. Four sets or five sets of 50 each and every day. And what’s going to happen is you’re going to notice a nice flattening of the lower part of the stomach.

It’s one of the only exercises that I that I know that will do this specific action. Doing the other way where you’re doing sit-ups will not do it and it’ll take way too long. It might do it a little bit, but not near to the degree that this will do it. So, I hope you enjoyed the tip and I will see you on the next video. [Music]
