Digestion, Plumbing and other Internal Workings
The following routine may help and I would suggest that you print it out and try it lying on the bed:
-Lie flat (or with a thin pillow if necessary) with the legs slightly apart and the arms a few inches away from your sides. The legs may be bent if this is more comfortable.
-Push out all the stomach muscles as far as they will go without arching the back or lifting the waist off the bed. Hold this push whilst you breathe slowly three times and let the stomach gently sink back. Repeat this three times.
-Gently lift the back of the waist slightly up from the bed (do not arch too high) and hold this lift for three breaths. Let the waist sink back down gently. Repeat three times.
-Without lifting the waist push your chest out as far as you can and then hold this push for three breaths and slowly let it relax. Repeat three times.
-Put your right hand on your left shoulder and breathe into the right side of your ribcage for three breaths.
-Put your left hand onto your right shoulder and breathe into the left side of your ribcage for three breaths.
These simple moves will stretch your abdomen and ribs slightly and there should be no discomfort. Done each day you will find that your abdomen starts to become less flabby and your digestion and breathing will improve.
* Like any exercise program, please consult your healthcare professional before you begin. Please stop immediately if any of the exercises cause pain or harm to your body.
