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

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.
