What is the Transverses
Abdomens?
Transverses Abdomens
is one of the four
basic sets of muscle
in the abdominal
wall. It surrounds
our stomach like
a corset. All of
the inner organs
are attached to
the T.A. One of
a specific feature
of this muscle is
that unlike the
other muscles that
develop outwards
the more we use
it, the more T.A.
develops inward
by getting thicker.
When a woman
gets pregnant and
exercises less,
T.A. loosens up
more than any other
muscles and gets
weaker easily. And
so as the baby grows,
it allows the stomach
to grow as well
without any pain.
Weakening of T.A.
happens to all who
don't exercise or
not as much. When
the T.A. is weakened,
it enables three
inner organs to
expand. These three
are the stomach,
the small intestine,
and the colon. There
for, when consumed
more than necessary
amount of food,
one tends to still
feel hungry and
takes in more food
other than the three
meals we normally
have called snack.
This results to
a large stomach.
When consumed a
large amount of
food, one tend to
feel tired and lazy.
This is because
when consumed a
large amount of
food, ones' digestive
system works hard
to break the food
down. And since
one feeling lazy
and tired eats more
than the body necessarily
uses, the rest are
stored as fat. This
is how we gain weight.
When an obese
starts to exercise
and fortifies his/her
T.A., the stomach
is pulled inwards
resulting in a flatter
belly, and the waist
size reduces which
leaves it slimmer.
Then with a flatter
belly and a slimmer
waist due to fortification
of T.A., it no longer
leaves room for
the inner digestive
organs to expand
as it used to allowing
one to eat less.
At the same time,
as you exercise
more to fortify
your T.A., the energy
to do so is created
by fat oxidation.
So for an obese
to lose weight,
the right way of
dieting would be
to eat less and
exercise more. By
exercising ones'
T.A., all these
is accomplished
without much difficulties.
Generally, there
are no give methods
to how we can build
a stronger T.A.
Because T.A., fortifies
only when it needs
to take the strain
and we can't choose
to tighten it or
use it whenever
probably because
it plays no part
in moving the body
about in space:
it's a pure supporter.
Below are some
information about
Transversus Abdominis
that I got from
Alexander Works
( http://www.alexanderworks.org/abdominals.htm
):
T.A. is also
stimulated to work
only when it has
to take the strain.
This happens mainly
on the in-breath,
when your contracting
diaphragm is pushing
your guts down.
If the other abdominal
muscles are not
taking over, Transversus
Abdominis reacts
to this pressure
from inside by tightening
just enough to hold
everything in place.
If the other abdominal
muscles are habitually
taking that strain,
then it is never
taut and so never
stimulated to work.
So, the only
way to persuade
it to work, and
the only way to
achieve supported
diaphragmatic breathing,
is to stop using
the other abdominal
wall muscles. Habit
is very persuasive
and it takes a lot
of personal experience
of breathing in
this way before
we can let it happen
2.How
the MISIE works
for Diet and Constipation?
Our
product MISIE was
proposed to work
towards fortifying
of one's stomach
as you place it
on your stomach
lying down and breath
in and out as we
direct you. Our
breathing however
is the main key
to using this product.
When exercising
with MISIE, you
do a thoracic respiration.
Thoracic respiration
is where you lift
your stomach when
you breath out and
lower your stomach
when you breath
in. If you do so,
all the good effects
mentioned in the
first paragraphs
will be carried
out due to fortification
of Transversus Abdominis.
A pro of our product
is that one can
exercise without
necessarily taking
the time or sweat
in the sun with
the possibility
of arthritis of
joints but be indoor
in the cooling air-conditioned
place watching TV,
read books or whatever
one wishes to while
exercising. The
reduction of food
takes place within
a week or two and
also by fortification
of the T.A., all
the inner organs
recover to their
original position
that they'd been
sagged down from.
As the T.A. exercises
with MISIE, the
muscles around the
inner organs especially
the colon regain
their strength hence
working regularly
towards pushing
the excrement out
of the body. And
this process cures
constipation.

3.How
to use MISIE
(1)General
Information
¨çWhere?
-You can use
MISIE either on
the bed or on any
soft surface.
¨èType
of Breathing
-While
using MISIE, you
must do a thoracic
respiration. Thoracic
respiration is
-Breath
in through your
nose but out either
through your nose
or your mouth.
¨éBreathing
Frequency
-Recommended
frequency is 20~40breaths/min.
(¡ØIt's
better to start
out slower and get
faster as you get
used to it.)
¨êWhen?
-It
is best to exercise
before meal but
if exercising after
meal, wait at least
an hour.
¨ëHow
long?
-For the
first 3 days of
MISIE, exercising
length should not
exceed 30minutes.
But after the 3
days are over, lengthen
your time to at
least an hour.
-If
you are unable to
exercise an hour
all at once, you
may also exercise
whenever you are
free to. There are
no side effects
and it is not harmful
to your body even
when you exercise
for an extended
amount of time.
¨ìBefore
and After using
MISIE
-Release
the tensions in
your body before
and after exercising
with MISIE by simple
stretching.
(2)For Faster
Diet Results
*For
better diet results:
-use MISIE before
breakfast.
-use
MISIE after dinner
to prevent weight
gaining while you
sleep.
-use MISIE
to exercise at least
2hours a day.
¨çMISIE before
breakfast
-For
higher success in
dieting with MISIE,
exercise at least
an hour before breakfast.
Exercising before
breakfast is more
successful provided
that exercising
with an empty stomach
would allow
the body to use
the stored fat to
create energy. Also
exercising in the
morning helps you
to fortify your
Transversus Abdominis
faster because with
your digestive system
empty and shrunken
in size compared
to the night before,
your T.A. can tighten
more around your
stomach as you exercise.
¡ØWarning! You
must always eat
breakfast especially
after exercising
with MISIE in the
mornings. No diet
can be successful
without breakfast.
¨èEating Policies
Breakfast
like a King
Lunch
like a Knight,
Dinner
like a Beggar.
Any
intake of food should
be done before 7.
¨éDrinking water
Drinking
water is vital to
diet because when
you drink enough
water, your body
naturally reduces
the amount of food
intake. Drink 2-3L
of water per day.
However do not drink
water an hour before
and after eating
meal.
¨ëFood Reduction
When
food reduction effect
takes place, you'll
feel somewhat stifled,
uncomfortable, dizzy,
or like that you
have an upset stomach.
(See below 3-¨ì)
Reduce your food
intake to a half
or 2/3 of what you
usually eat. Whilst
using MISIE, don't
do any intense exercises
until food reduction
takes place. Exercises
such as walking
and climbing stairs-no
vigorous exercises-after
food reduction takes
place leads to a
faster excessive
fat reduction.
¨ìMeasuring Different
Parts of Body
Since
MISIE preferably
reduces excessive
fat first, rather
than reduce in weight
measurements, there
will be more reduction
in size. You can
view these reduction
by measuring different
parts of your body
(i.e. thighs, arms,
waist, etc.) regularly.
Even though there
won't be much decrease
in weight, you will
feel lightness.
¨íDiet Diary
Writing
each day a diary
of what you ate,
what kind of exercise
you have done, could
help you to get
some help or advice
therefor leading
into more of a successful
diet.
¨îNo Snacks
To
stop yourselves
from habitual snacking,
hide all high calory
snacks out of your
sight. (If you can
see it but aren't
allowed to eat it,
now there's what
I call torture.
