After the age of 50, many women see their stomachs sag even though they don’t eat more and don’t really move less. Swelling in the evening, less toned abdominal muscles, weakened perineum… menopause often gives the impression of hormonal inevitability. And yet, an approach from Korea promises a flat stomach after 50 without the slightest series of crunches.
This gentle method, inspired by Asian Pilates and hypopressive exercises, focuses on posture, breathing and activation of the transverse muscles rather than classic abs. A program that appeals to those who hate intensive sport, and which is based as much on aesthetics as on digestive comfort.

This discreet transverse work makes the stomach visually flatter and lengthens the silhouette, without excessive pressure on the perineum.
At the same time, the , relative of the , explores this same natural sheath. Lying on your back, legs bent, the basic position, explains Anaïs Jazmine, cited by Avantages. She advises inhaling through the nose while absorbing the navel, then imagining, before a short apnea with the perineum engaged.
