The abdomen contracts inward, keeping the back straight. (Photography/Yang Bokang) Abdominal hunchback: Prepare to inhale. When exhaling, the abdomen should be adducted as far as possible, and the back should rise. The head and heel should also contract with the strength of the abdomen, and the posture can be maintained and matched with the posture of holding your breath 1 ~ 2 seconds and hunching your back like a cat. When inhaling, the abdomen retracts forcibly, showing a cat's back arched. (Photography/Yang Bokang) Hold your head high * * *: Inhale and get ready.
