String ADL's
("Activities of Daily Living")

This exercise targets the transverse abdominis.

Tie a string around your waist at navel level tight enough so that you can feel it’s there. Directly against the skin is even more effective as an inexpensive form of biofeedback.

While doing any simple activity, gently draw your navel in toward the spine enough to feel the string loosen while breathing normally.

Your breathing pattern should not change at all!

Violating this rule works muscles that you don't want to work and leads to dysfunction not enhanced function.

Hold for 10 seconds while keeping the rest of your body relaxed.

Do as many reps as you like and build to 5 minutes of 10 seconds on/10 seconds off.
