Is it true that you can get a tummy pooch from holding your breath when doing crunches? I read it in a magazine and I realized I do that, I also have a pooch! If I start breathing better
during my crunches, will the pooch go away?
1. Lift one leg at a time while doing your crunches. Remember do this slowly.
2. Lie on your back in a crunch position, raise your two legs in the air (straight), and reach up to touch them. Then go back down (but leave your legs in the air) and repeat. [ ChocolateCots's advice column | Ask ChocolateCots A Question ]
omgshoes answered Saturday December 30 2006, 2:00 am: you are so right. i have experienced with this exact phenomenon for at least three hours. i have come to the conclusion that if you hold your breath while doing crunches, a great dane (a pooch, if you will) will appear on your stomach within ten minutes. the great dane is probably dangerous, so you must do your best to always please him. first, rub his stomach. all dogs love this. but soon, he will not be satisfied. at least let him lick the peanut butter off of your breasts and vagina(s). but soon, you will realize that the great dane was just an allusion! when you hold your breath doing crunches, your brain does not get enough oxygen, and you begin to dream of things you never would have expected! if you don't want to take my word for it, try this site: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

XkittyOkatX answered Friday December 29 2006, 11:03 pm: I'm pretty sure this is true, since you'd need oxygen to flow to that are, and I'm guessing that if you hold your breath, this complicates things.
Try breathing more while doing your exercises. Try holding your mouth open, and if you have to, make sure you count how many breaths you take, to ensure you're not holding it in. =P [ XkittyOkatX's advice column | Ask XkittyOkatX A Question ]
