Part of it is excess abdominal fat, part of it is out-of-condition transversus abdominus muscle. You have to change body composition to lose the fat. You have to continue to challenge muscle to keep it conditions. So you can't do exercise a few times and be done with it for good. But with this move, you can quickly train the TA muscle to be rapidly responsive to postural corrections and keeping the pelvis in good position. On the exhale, you are pulling the abs in - right? This is actually one of the functions of the TA muscle - it works in concert with the diaphragm to expel the breath. During the hold, if you need to breathe in, it doesn't matter because it actually creates more of an isometric workload - great for training the muscle. Hope this helps! Let me know if any other questions! Lani Facebook
