Question 1

Who is the Fit Belly® exercise for?

Accepted Answer

For all those who want to reduce their waist circumference, improve their posture and possibly solve problems with urinary incontinence or abdominal diastasis. Also for those who have back pain or muscle imbalances due to poor posture. It doesn't matter your physical condition, age or whether you are just starting out in sports.

Question 2

Is the hypopressive technique unsuitable for anyone?

Accepted Answer

Only pregnant women and people with high blood pressure (diastolic) should not practice the method. Because it involves breathing apneas and the heart rate increases during the exercise. Furthermore, the exercise is not suitable for people with moderate to severe inflammatory diseases in the abdominal cavity (e.g. Crohn's disease) and for people with epilepsy.

Question 3

How long after giving birth can I start exercising?

Accepted Answer

In the case of a natural birth, you can start exercising after six weeks postpartum. If you had a cesarean section, it is advisable to start exercising after 3 months. In both cases, only after your doctor's approval.

Question 4

How is Fit Belly® different from other methods?

Accepted Answer

Unlike other methods, the hypopressive method reduces pressure in the pelvic, abdominal and thoracic cavities. It effectively increases the muscle tone of the oblique abdominal muscles, the transverse abdominal muscles and the pelvic floor muscles. These are the muscles that create a natural abdominal corset for our body. After a short time, your stomach will be flatter without intentional squeezing.

Question 5

How often is it appropriate to practice the hypopressive technique?

Accepted Answer

The frequency is always determined individually according to health limitations, the number of positions mastered, and the quality of execution.

It is advisable to start with breathing exercises and diaphragmatic massage. If the diaphragm is free and diaphragmatic aspiration (opening the ribs after exhalation) can be mastered, it is advisable to start with a lying position. Such a set of exercises can be performed every day for 10 minutes. As you gradually learn other positions, the exercise time will be extended, and the intensity and frequency can be relaxed. When the training lasts 20 minutes, we can start practicing every other day or every third day. If we already master the method well, and the positions are performed well, we can start increasing the intensity again and reach daily practice until we get the desired results. After achieving them, we can reduce the training and practice for pleasure, for example 2 to 3 times a week.

It's good to know that morning exercise will kick-start us for the whole day, and evening exercise will compensate for all pressures and postural imbalances.

Sometimes it is also desirable to divide the exercise into two parts - 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the evening.

Question 6

What is needed for exercise?

Accepted Answer

You don't need anything special to exercise, just something comfortable to wear and a mat. Shoes are not needed, as you exercise barefoot. It is also not advisable to exercise immediately after a heavy meal or before bed.

Question 7

Is it possible to attend group lessons as well?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is currently possible to attend group lessons in Prague, Přelouč and Jihlava.
