Completed Mini-Challenges
Weeks 1 to 4
Suck your belly while waiting
Guidelines:
Sometimes we are in activities and is hard to concentrate in other stuff. But while waiting something (bus, kettle, in a queue, etc) try to suck your belly and keep it IN for as long as you can or remember.

Weeks 2 to 4
Suck your belly while walking
Guidelines:
This not only helps your profile but strength your abdominal muscles because you are not only keeping it tight, you are walking too! So more muscle activity and more calories burnt!

Weeks 3 to 4
Suck your belly while sitting and sit straight!
Guidelines:
If you have extra pounds like me, you will find that sitting is not very flattering. So suck it IN while sitting, keep the strength of your belly muscles and try to sit up straight too to elongate your figure!

How do you do it?
I visualize trying to get my belly button to touch my spine. I read that somewhere! I also try and do kegels at the same time. That is supposed to tighten lower abdominals, too.
