Starting position for exercises
Abdominal Bracing
Practice belly bracing by contracting your belly muscles (especially lower belly muscles)). This should first be done while lying down with your feet on the ground and knees bent. Keep your back stable and touching the floor at all times without movement. Now breath in and out normally while retaining this position. GOAL: practice it until you are able to do for 2 minutes straight while breathing normally. All the below exercises are performed over the baseline position.
Once you are comfortable with the above, you can practice bracing while standing up.
