Those are excellent for that. Also, try vaccuums. They strengthen your internal obliques and whenever you tighten up your stomach it'll be much tougher. Rocky Marciano used to do them every day and he often let his opponents punch him in his cast-iron stomach cause "it tires them out."

Not if you do the vaccuums, the internal obliques will armor it up and help reduce its effectiveness a great deal.

They're easy as hell to do and don't take long at all. Stand with your hands on your hips, take a deep deep breath, and bend forward while exhaling sharply. Then suck in your gut as tight as you can, raise your torso up, hold for a count of 5, and then exhale sharply, pushing your stomach out as hard as you can.

Does it matter; through the nose or through the mouth?

when you say pushing your stomach out as hard as you can, meaning go back to you normal posture(really fast and hard)?

I typically inhale through the nose and out the mouth, so you can get more oxygen out. As for the stomach, yeah, you want to do it hard and fast so you're throwing your gut out quickly.

great idea. I will be doing these all the time now.

Koto, you've been doing these for a while? Can you overwork this excercise?
