Ah. This may be where some of the confusion lies. I keep my abdomen below my belly-button. What do you call that part of you?
(Careful now, Reg, family show and all that...)
And that was the part I assumed Ian was talking about. I know it's an exhaling muscle group if unhindered, but I would assume if you're being taught to pull that part of you up, it's as part of a counterbalancing exercise with the inhaling group, which includes the bit you are calling the abs. - in which case it shouldn't end up forcing out air.
Slinking off to peer closely in the mirror,
