If you’re trying desperately to shrink your waist, and you’ve done crunches, sit ups, planks, and every other exercise known to man…

You’ve dieted down to single-digit body fat percentage…

and you can’t lose that last inch or two on the old waist measurement, try this. It’s an old-time bodybuilding technique, best exemplified by Frank Zane and his famous “Vacuum.”

Here’s how you do it:

• Exhale as much air as possible
• Suck in the stomach
• Bend at the waist and put your hands on your knees
• Pull back on your knees and really feel the vacuum
• Hold this position for 10-15 seconds, trying to “touch” your belly button to your spine. Repeat 5-10 times
• You can do this exercise many times per day, every day of the week

Now, this exercise will not remove belly fat, nor will it build the six-pack. But it will make your waist considerably smaller.
