How do I get rid of the loaf of bread?
I know this was talked about before but I don't know how I would search for it.
You know when you're in plank position and you look at your stomach...and it looks like a loaf of bread, how would you get rid of that? Or is that just something I have to live with after having 2 kids?

Now, this might sound hokie - but, I like Nauli Kriya. Although, I will give you some caveats: 1) when I started, I did not look like Jill Miller or any of the people that you can see demo-ing it on youtube look. In fact, it barely looked like anything was happening. Now, it looks like I'm doing something like them --- but, not with the same speed or depth. 2) it still not attractive doing it and I would prefer never to do it in front of anyone --- this is just between me and my mirror! 3) a layer of fat still covers everything. That being said, 4) I do think it makes a difference in the appearance of my belly and I think all the adhesions that originally made it a tad uncomfortable are gone and everything looks a little bit more sucked in.
I started by using Jill's Nauli Kriya DVD which is really more an instructional DVD than a practice one. But, I hear that her Coregeous DVD has some NK on it too. I don't know if anyone else does it --- once I learned, I just do it on my own in front of the mirror. YMMV! |

 can you possibly describe what the move(s) entails?

I thought you were talking about not eating the loaf or any bread at all when I first saw the title of the thread.

Is nauli kriya similar to a stomach vaccum. In the 4 hour body book, it it called the cat vomit exercise.
http://youtu.be/dCT1AHrjX_kk I did not do it regularly but maybe I should. There is also another exercise in the book, a myotatic crunch. http://youtu.be/LZ6K5ob96FI
