How to: fake a tummy tuck

Perfecting your posture may not banish a bothersome belly, but it will create the illusion of an instant tummy tuck.
In fact, something as simple as standing tall with the shoulders rolled back, spine extended and stomach muscles engaged - the tightness you feel when the spine is straightened and shoulders remain rolled - can create a slender stomach in a matter of seconds, as the body is forced to elongate to the point of tightening a troublesome tummy.
Although this tactile trick fails to provide a speedy solution to shedding excess pounds, it will aid the development of an adequately aligned posture - a posture that's essential for the prevention of joint strains and muscular injuries - and provide an instant confidence boost as you successfully fake a flatter figure.
Top tip: if you're struggling to train and sustain a strengthened stomach, incorporating Pilates into your weekly workouts will aid the development of a toned down tummy.
Not only does this core conditioning class focus on technique, lengthening and postural alignment, it also ensures that your core remains engaged throughout the duration of the training session - perfecting your overall posture, physique and the problem prone podge that resembles a troublesome tummy.
