Rib flare is extremely common but not a death sentence. You can absolutely make gains with consistency and smart programming. This video will give you both.
You can view Part 1: What is Rib Flare here: • What Is Rib Flare? Wat...
Step 1 is simply learning how to breathe properly. This means expanding the entire ribcage without compensations such as flaring your ribs up or using your neck to pull air in. In order to avoid these compensations we use constraints to give us feedback.
1:37 Setting Up Constraints
Use anything if you don't have a band. A towel is great as a thin layer just to give your brain sensation to not lose the lower back ribs on the ground. You do not need to crunch your lower back into the ground.
The towel under the neck can be larger than the video or smaller. Ideally, it gives your neck a curve. Think the opposite of a chin tuck or military neck. Setting the eyes to the ceiling will help a ton also.
2:57 Opening Up The Airway 5-10 Reps
This is such a game-changer. Video yourself doing this from the side. You can measure progress by how far you can get your chin pain-free. Try not to let your jaw slide back... we want to keep it forward similar to a bulldog.
3:49 Supine Breathing 5-10 Minutes
Your suboptimal breathing patterns did not happen in 5 minutes so do not expect to break them in 5 minutes either. This is where consistency is necessary over time. This is perfect to do first thing in the morning with a glass of water and sunshine.
If you look closely you will notice the model struggles with this and his ribs barely move.
The best thing to do is video yourself shirtless from the side and front/overhead. Watch what expands and what doesn't.
Did your neck tension with veins and contract to lift your ribs on the inhale?
Did your ribs pop up on the inhale?
You don't want to crunch but you should feel obliques at the end of the exhale and even keep some tension there as they slowly expand under control. Film yourself and post it in our Elite Video Membership Facebook group if you want feedback from Ian.
Step 2 is adding a reach and focusing the chest expansion
6:29 Supine Pullover 3/4 sets of 5-10 breaths in the morning or pre-workout
You should be able to keep your back ribs down now after practicing the exhale and pause. Now we can add the reach which will promote the chest to expand without the rib flare.
Do not go past your nose. Many people would benefit from not exceeding shoulder height. If your ribs flare and you lose the lower back ribs on the ground then we are just feeding the rib flare. If this is you it might be worth doubling down on step 1 for a little longer.
The inhale should allow your ribs to expand. For illustrations of ribcage, mechanics check out our breathing blog: www.markowtrainingsystems.com...
10:01 Side Plank 3/4 Sets of 30-60 Seconds
This is a must for everyone. If you are the classic left rib flare person then you need to double down on this. This won't hurt to do both sides. We all need obliques.
When on the left side we can progress this by reaching the hand under the left abs without losing the push through the left arm.
11:37 High To Low Chop 3/4 Sets Of 10 Reps
This is another one that you can do more on one side or both. You can also superset this with the side-plank. Since most people with a rib flare are also limited in shoulder mobility it is smart to start with the cable shoulder height versus above the head. You might also want to limit the range of motion so you do not have to reach far across your body.
You can work on holds and reps. Try to apply the same concepts you learned on the floor with the breathing to the standing exercises.
Thank you so much for watching. If you are consistent with this and do not give up this is going to be a game-changer for you!

I am in complete shock. I have struggled with the image of my rib flares for years and they only got worse after I was pregnant. They changed the whole shape of my body and I was so self conscious of them but after doing only 10 minutes of the breathing exercises I have noticed a HUGE change. Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching. Optimizing your breathing is a chest code to health. I’m so happy to found us.
Congrats on the baby mom. My son is turning 1 soon. Best job in the world.
Our core and breathwork program is dropping in the next few weeks. Stay tuned as it would be the perfect structure and progression to working on this videos for a few weeks
I am so glad I found this video; to the point I almost feel emotional. I’ve had confused and disordered breathing for years at this point and in immense distress because I don’t know what is helping and what is hurting. These 2 videos clarified more than any doctor or physiotherapist has ever been able to. Little things just like exhaling with my obliques and not my abs. I’ve realized I can do both but had no clarity which to do and would sometimes do one and sometimes the other just sending myself into a confused panic. My flared rib has led me to breath stacking and I’ve even had pseudo-asthma attacks at work.
Thank you so much. I’m going to try this for a few months. As an active person that works out regularly, it’s been so frustrating and even embarrassing how screwed up my breathing has been for ages. It has screwed with cardio… everything.
happy to help, we have a program coming out soon that will be perfect for you. Subscribe to the channel so you know when it drops

I just want to say how important this video is. I’m 24 and have had this rib flare for most of my life since childhood - only recently have I been aware that this is a thing, and that it can be treated.
I’ve been suffering back pain for most of my life also, and I now know that it is due to rib flare and other muscle imbalances. I’ve went to several physiotherapists and they’ve all been useless. One thinks it’s tight hamstrings, the other thinks it’s tight quads… GPs and doctors have been useless to the point of it being medical negligence- they can’t understand why a young otherwise healthy male should have chronic back pain.
Fast forward, with all the years of sitting at school, studying at university and gaming in free time with this rib flare/extended lower back, I now have permanent disc degeneration in my lower back as well a reoccurring chronic disk herniation as a result of this (from multiple MRIs, they only picked this up on the last one when it was visible on the first MRI - medical negligence again).
If I could go back in time and do these exercises I would absolutely.
Sorry to hear about your struggle. Thanks for watching and commenting. The truth is there is no better time to start than now no matter where you are. Disc can heal and as a younger person they can heal fast with the right inputs.
Don’t give up and keep being consistent learning along the way. You got this 🤝
just incase someone comes across this: anyone else have issues with rib flare + TMJ + shoulder pain + bad posture + asthma? i've been working on my shoulder issues and working out + fixing my posture which has improved my tmj, however i only just realised i have rib flare so i'm adressing that now. trying to see if it's a thing with other people too :)
It’s Absolutley all connected. If the middle is disorganized you will have trouble above or below. Would definitely tape your mouth before bed.

Holy shit, I have TMJ and rib flare also. Both on left side. No asthma or shoulder pain though.
@@maulekuul Good thing you found this. Time to get to work
Bro i have them all you enlightened me
I literally have everything you said and its all the left side.
something os better than nothing
Thank you sir 😊❤
Most welcome 😊
So grateful for your expertise! Thank you!!
This is so motivating & explains so much, (like my lower left back suffering a slipped disc, which still crunches & pops over a year later, especially with hip dips & twists, my crunchy, tight neck) but it also raises questions as to my 'doming' abs (which have improved with core work tbf), weak back & non-existent glutes. Wonder if they're linked? And should I tackle everything at once?
I've done yoga for 4 years, gaining strength & mobility (although I was told by a physio I was hypermobile, so I try to be strict about alignment & integrity) but I think I've been breathing wrong. We're told to breathe down into the belly but this will exacerbate rib flare, right? She also says to breathe laterally. I think I need to practice your exercises & implement them into my yoga & daily life.
A few weeks back I learned I was walking wrong & today I learned I don't know how to breathe! 😅
Might go some way to explaining anxiety, snoring & tooth grinding too, possibly? And I suck at cardio!😂
What a mess! 😂
We are all a work in progress. I would strongly suggest starting with the basics which would Honeslty be the first step in addressing everything you mentioned. The core and breathing program is perfect for you

Wow I always think that my left side was more big than the right side an it is normal thank you brother this is very helpful of late I been getting a uncomfortable feeling on the left side but at my back left this is what causing that again thank you so much
Glad it helped! When you are ready commit to the program and make it a thing of the past. It’s on 3 x 15/20 mins a week.

Ive been having both of my ribs flared for my whole life:(
Good thing you found out how to work on it. Be consistent
Very informative video. One thing I want to ask is rib flare caused due to Pectus excavatum fixable? Doing these exercises only lowers the ribs by a tiny bit, but I want to know if I can completely fix my flare. I also have a stronger core and I was wondering if doing the same exerccises but with more core engagement wuold be benefitial.
Depends what your definition of fixable is….. you are not going to see a ton of visibile difference around the sternum but everything can be improved so pectus does not hold you back at all.
Thank you for this!! I have a connective tissue disorder so I'm constantly rehabbing my body back into place with aqua P.T. and my own version of P.T. because most just do not understand my condition and how different my body moves from others. But I have a right bottom back rib flare. I'm working on the breathing and I notice I have a unstable shoulder that shrugs up and rotated forward on of the side with the back bottom rib flare. Any exercises or ideas to help stabilize my shoulder as well? Thanks!!
Sorry to hear about your troubles. Would love to help. If you are shrugging during the breathing than that is a clear sign you need to work on your breathing so I would be very consistent there even if it’s just the first exercise. Try to hold onto the obliques that you get after a full exhale while you slowly inhale. Definitely pay attention to the chin/ neck cues as well.
I’m sorry I don’t really understand what you mean by rich bottom back rib flare. I’m assuming you mean you are extended on the right side as back ribs don’t really flare. If that’s the case I would recommend getting really good control and strength at the hamstrings. You can see examples of that with our free pelvic magic class
czcams.com/video/2i3L8inFEW0/video.html
For the shoulders and all your joints I would start a cars routine.

This was so informative! I’ve had left side rib flare all my life and never realized how much it could impact mobility and breathing! At times it has caused me to have an almost panicked kind of breathing. I’m 51 and pretty fit overall and have strength trained for last 30 years. Currently, I’m working with a great PT because I have an ATP along with the rib flare and some instability in a small portion of back/shoulder and scapular winging. I also have weakened lower abs and glutes and he discovered I was using much more of my right leg than the left during squats and had terrible anterior hip pain and thought I had impingement. We’re working on Serrates Anterior (sp)? and on hamstring strength, internal rotators, etc.
Could all of this be a result from the ATP and rib flare?
Yes absolutley, you are describe the Left AIC pattern from postural restlratjon institute.
The side plank on the left side, split stance chop from this video and sidelying knee to knee lifts are great for you. See if you can get 1 reps on your left side using left adductor and right glute.
czcams.com/video/tLWhamMfj7M/video.html
Can’t go wrong with our pelvic magic classes either.
czcams.com/video/2i3L8inFEW0/video.html
Great video, very helpful. I’m only on my 2nd day, so I know this will take awhile. It’s going to take whatever it takes, I’ll just keep going. Here’s the question: how do I know when it’s time to progress from the first exercise? I’m still feeling a little of that panicked breathing. My biggest “skill set” in life appears to be progressing beyond my capabilities and further injuring myself. I would like to not do that here. So…how do you know when to progress from exercise 1 to exercise 2 (and beyond)?
Love your mindset about it taking time. The good thing is these exercises are extremely safe so you can progress and even more accurately explore. Video yourself from the side and see if you are losing abs. If you are then go back to the basics. Think about the progression being in terms of shoulder flexion so if you just keep your arms at around 90 on all the exercises you have a way better chance of doing it. In the pullover I say to only get to your nose which is just beyond 90.
You can also explore a lateralization which will help a ton. Try this out too which will teach you how to load your lower abs and integrate the breath work.

Thank you very much! Day 3 today, and I’m already seeing a tiny bit of improvement. I could get more breaths today without having to take a break. I did 2 sets of 5, tomorrow I’ll try for more (maybe one set of 10). The video link you provided looks great too, can’t wait to try that tomorrow as well. The descriptions are excellent.
How long should I expect it to take to start seeing improvements?
Great Video Ian. How important is it to ensure that you're not rib flaring? do you think this is a significant factor in many different niggle and deficiencies for people?
I think it’s very important and even more important to not fear it. Think of it as a disorganized middle. The middle is what connects everything so if we are hinging and pressing overhead with a rib flare you end up loading your lower back errectors a ton. The body can adapt so it’s not like it’s the end of the world but outside of powerlifting most people would benefit from loading there hips and shoulders to reach their goals.
At MTS we ALWAYS prioritize the ribcage and pelvis first as it more times than not puts the shoulders and hips into a way better positon to be successful.
Unless your breathing is normalized, no other movement can be.
@@IanMarkow tha ks for the detailed response
Thanks for video, but I think it is really hard to do exercises without a guide.. I'll try these in the gym, but I am not sure about whether I will do them correctly.
Thanks for watching. These exercises are all very safe. Be consistent and try to get a little better every time.
Make sure you are subscribed! New breathing and core program is on the way
hello i’ve had rib flare for as far as i can remember and it’s on both sides but mainly my left i’m going to do everything in the video to help but i would love to use your program
Definitely do the program. Save you a lot of time. Fully commit, it’s only 3 x 15 mins a week
www.markowtrainingsystems.com/core-breathing-program/
I will try these exercises for sure I have a left side rib flare and btw does that effect me when I’m boxing because when I box sometimes their is one part on my lower back that hurts when I train
Awesome. I’m confident they will help.
Impossible to know but a left rib flare will often put more tension on the left lower back. The exercises in this would be great for boxing with or without a rib flare.
Actually; do you by chance have a video for exercises for the crunched down ribs? I feel like I have a strange mix of both of these problems from my misguided attempts to fix things myself
Yes these are all great for that. Just focus on not dropping your sternum when exhaling especially. The side plank and the pullover reaching will be a great start. The program we are finishing now has a entire routine called the "Crunch Solution" stay tuned : )
I have my right side flared it goes in then out I have been trying to fix it
Sounds like you came to the right place. Be consistent with this especially the first 3. Try to do a few sets every morning and consider doing the side plank with right hand down extra
what are some progressions for the left and right side planks holds? these exercises have helped me a lot
Hell yea. Glad they have helped.

Good Video. So simply breath into your back instead of rips which can be done all the day every time during normal breathing or not?
Thanks for watching. I would rephrase it to breathe 360 degrees expanding the entire ribcage and exhale the same compressing everything.
Yes Absolutley. We are trying to change long term patterns that become autopilot leading to exponential gains. That’s why we also suggest exploring mouth tape at night.

What modification would you suggest if side plank while pushing through the thumb and index finger causes shoulder pain from the internal rotation?
You can just do a neutral grip with a fist. Definitely want to work on expanding the lower front ribs though as they might be preventing the movement at the shoulder.
Additionally, would be helpful to train your shoulders regularly. Simple shoulder cars would work wonders. Here is the link for that.

I've had flared ribs for as long as I can remember at this point, looking into getting some sort of rib compression belt/waist harness to possibly (hopefully) help with the pain.
Have you tried doing these exercises?
@@IanMarkow haven't even finished this video yet lol, at a point in life where I don't have time for much of anything So compressing my ribcage might be the best I can do for a while
@@desertgrape3536 Okay, not the route I would choose. You always have time for breathing... you quite literally can not escape it. Might as well do it well and reap the benefits. Wish you the best of luck and thanks for watching
@@IanMarkow that's some true words. I had a very rigid neck and couldn't look left/right properly. I work on the computer, so I just started doing seated neck exercises here and there during work... and it got better :)

@@krutonite6161 exactly. If it is important to someone they will find a way.
Ive been experiencing my center lower left ribs bend inward towards my center. Is there any specific exercises that I can use to help pop it out? Thanks.
Yes improve your breathing. Think of it as getting the ribs moving on the inhale and exhale. They will settle in the best spot. It just takes time.
I've got a left rib flare very bad and a intercoastal muscle strain , i think that because of smoking . Coughing really feel the issue in me . I would like to know can it be fixed by these excercise?
Yes. Do them and find out
As yous said in the video, right getting compressed and flare on the left. I have this issue. How can I expand my right rib cage?
Lat stretches and side bending movements. You should do our core and breathing program. Those assymetries are built into it
www.markowtrainingsystems.com/core-breathing-program/
Would it be beneficial to message gun or roll my low/mid back muscles(safely) before this?
Sure if you want to and you feel like it works for you.
I have been anxiety ridden for such a long time and simply breathing into my lower back and belly washes it away it’s amazing. My next goal is to be able to breath like this sun consciously
Awesome thanks for watching. Make sure you are getting air into your ribs and not just down low!
Im glad I found this video, but I'm having a hard time understanding the video because I'm not a native English speaker (I can barely understand half of it) so does anyone know any video that explains this in spanish

Should I stop working out my abs when having a one sided flare ?
answered in the other comment
I have no issue breathing, but my rib is still glared visually on one side. When I feel both sides the bone structure seems to be different and not a muscular thing. Is that rib flare?
If your rib is flared visually on one side, it sounds like you have a rib flare. Everyone can work on optimizing their breathing. If you have no issues than I wouldn’t worry about it
My left ribcage is dented inwards, is that pectus excavatum? It looks sort of like a ramp due to the dent and the flare.
Thanks for watching. Impossible for me to say without assessing you. We have a program that is going to be a game changer for ribflare dropping soon so make sure you are subscribed. I would atleast work on the first breathing drill no matter what
Off topic question, anyone know what shoes they are? Not the full white, I know they are Vivo primus lite, the other with blue on them 😊
Check out Xeros. Not sure what model but that’s the brand
Thanks, iam trying to hide some part of it through abs
No problem. I would try to reframe it. If you learn to breathe and use your abs you won’t need to hide anything you can change it
Do the rips have to expand mainly sideways ur upwards
Both. 360 degrees of expansion is ideal. There is video & images for this questions linked below. Check it out.
www.markowtrainingsystems.com/2022/01/26/basics-of-breathing-start-here/
Can rib flare cause mild pectus excavatum and can i cure my shortness of breath with these exercises; also is it common for people you treat to feel their ribs and collarbone make clicking clunking sensation near the sternum with shoulder movement. Some symptoms i can include to help visualize is flaring on left side of my ribs, but my right shoulder tends to round forward, since I was a kid. I've been working on my posture and got rid of a lot of neck pain recently, now looking to fix the rest of my body.
Ribflare can hinder your ability to expand your chest.
If your chest doesn’t expand well it is common to have limited movement at the shoulders including the clavicle.
I would start with the core and breathing program if you are serious about getting results asap.
www.markowtrainingsystems.com/core-breathing-program/
Will this work if you have pectus excavatum ?
It will but keep in mind pectus is definitively structural at this point so you want to temper your expectations on the visual progress. You cns make huge gains in function. The dumbbell exercise will do wonders for you as long as you can hold onto obliques during the inhales you should feel a nice expansion through the chest
For the supine pullover, how much weight should be used?
Not really about the weight. Just need something to provide feedback to reach. If its too heavy and you squeeze everything tensing up then it will take away from the goal. I would say 10 lbs is plenty and on the high side. You can even use a PVC pipe or no weight at all.
Sir I do breathing getting pain in ribs swelling,I have costochodrits can I do
If you are experience pain and swelling I would go to a doctor. You do not want medical advice on CZcams
would it still get better if i only did the first 3 solutions cause i don’t go to a gym to workout
Yes Absolutley.
Also the bone thats is in the center is starting to stick out. Xiphoid process. What should i do. I think its getting worse. Is it because i sit in a computer chair all day. ? My posture ?

Hey man can you give me anwer that it is the syptom of rib flare
When i sit and stand in front of mirror i feel that my one part of body from abdoman part or stomach part is out and another is lying back i feel that i am not standing straight i feel
Uncomfortable when i sit on floor
And some says ago i have uneven sgoulder but now it is repair but after i recognise this problem
Please give me answer
God bless you❤
No. I can’t. I wouldn’t worry about it and if you are having pain I would see a physical therapist. Rib flare is not something to fear
Does this workout push the ribcage into the back creating bad posture?
very confused about what you mean? These exercises are designed to improve breathing, posture, core strength, and mobility.
how long does it usually take for a rib flare to get fixed?
12 weeks is a good timeline. We have a program dropping soon so stay tuned
does this decrease the size of the ribcage or just move It.?
The ribcage is supposed to be dynamic meaning it can change shape. When we inhale it expands. When we exhale it compresses. You are not going to change the size of the bones but instead move them with breath and movement
Your treatment is very good and useful. I think you are talking too much. Less talking. I find myself having to wait for you to finish your talking. I am grateful to you
Details matter. Not everything is meant to be a 60 second instagram post. If you don’t like long format content go to IG and TikTok. We post there too
just be patient, i watch it over & over. To make sure i am doing it correctly. I am a chiropractor from Malaysia.
@@Volvo5200 thanks for watching and getting it. People want instant gratification. Same people are the ones who don’t make progress 🤷🏻♂️
I'm not sure what I'm feeling for doing the breathing. It seems like the body is going to expand wherever it has least resistance. So where in the body is the tightness that's forcing the ribs out?
Totally normal. Going to take time to break a long term habit. Path of resistance for someone with a rib flare is usually a bell breathing and unable to fill up their chest and back ribs.
The “tightness” in general will
Be the lower back squeezing and pushing the ribs forward and up.
If you want to get results as fast as possible commit to the program

Please can you tell me again how to breath? I don't speak english very well
The part 1 and 2 video explain everything. You can also check out this

Should we breath like the first exercise when lifting weights like squats / deadlift ? I already tighten my core but my ribs flare
When lifting heavy for compound lifts you would want to fully exhale brining the ribs down and in then inhaling 360 degrees creating expansion everywhere without losing the abs on the front.
Watch these 3 videos. The visuals and descriptions should be very helpful

@@stefann.1659 no problem, have a great day
Quick question: During exhale I do feel my ribs going down, but I don't feel my obliques only my abs. Is that normal if not is there any modification that can be made?
That’s okay. First goal is just to get ribs moving on inhales and exhales. If you want video yourself and make sure you are not crunching during the exhale. The longer you exhale properly the more obliques you will get. You can also double down on the side planks which should bias the obliques
@@IanMarkow Thank you!
Over active six pack, and need a longer slow exhale, look into postural restoration institute
Love PRI, the second exercise is a PRI exercise
Just wondering how long it takes to get rid of rib flare?
Depends on where you currently are, how hard you work, how consistent you are and how well you perform the exercises. We take around 22,000 breaths per day so how well you do that is often either reinforcing the rib flare or working towards long term changes.
If you complete our program as it is written 3 x 15 minutes per week for 14 weeks you will see significant improvements without a doubt

Impossible to answer. Learning how to breathe and training your abs are a life long pursuit so just be consistent. We see structural changes with our one on one clients in 12 weeks

Focus on the cueing and not the model. His expansion could use some work like all of us. Aim to slowly fill everything up. Check out our new core program for a complete plan

When i exhale should i feel my abdominal muscels being activated and should i keep the tension on the same place when i inhale?
Yes with nuance. We would love to hold some tension in the internal obliques but holding tension in the six pack crunching down can actually be suboptimal.
This blog will be helpful. It has video and images to look at.

Thanks😊
@@SpinalCoyote115 No problem. Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any questions.
Do i need to feel on my right side a bit burning because on the plank my right side which has the rib flare was at the bottom
Not sure what you mean but it’s normal to feel your muscles working along the ribcage during the side planks
@@IanMarkow like i wasn't sure in which side i should feel the muscles, the side i have the rib flare or the other side
nice video, quick question on the plank exercise, if the left rib flare is worse, should we work more on a plank with the left rib downwards? Or is it the opposite?
Thanks for watching. Technically I would do both as shown in the video but if you wanted to double up on it the left hand down would be ideal for the left rib flare. Same with the chop which is only shown with the left side being the focus.
6:43 me with EDS and a left sided flare just because I am a left side sleeper having everything hyper mobile watching this 👀
Due to the natural asymmetries of the body it is completely normal to be more flared on the left side. There are definitely some considerations to take into account with EDS but without assessing you and in the context of YT comments I can't give you any specific help. In general, I would not stop working on your abs/ core strength. It might make sense to include exercises that open up the right of the ribs in conjunction with learning how to close the left. All of the exercises demonstrated in this video are designed to do that and for more specific help I would need to assess you.
As long as you are not experiencing any pain these exercises have virtually no risk so being consistent with then for 4-12 weeks is a sure thing IMO
What if I can't breathe through my nose?
Address it immediately by finding an ENT or qualified physical therapist
Sir i am going for army test and my lower left rib is flare can these exercises will help me in 1 week?
Please reply
They can. It’s not a miracle though so just keep going and be consistent. You will be fine at the army test.
@@IanMarkow thank for replying
@@AliHaider-if1yp No problem. good luck you are going to do great.
Does it actually works? I want to know if it really works so i start doing them
Yes. Read the comments. You can see changes quick. Long term changes take consistency. You are just working on improving your breathing and core strength anyway so it’s a win win.
If you want fast guaranteed results do our core and breathing program.

@@IanMarkow ok thx
0:36 I have this problem
We have the solution!
www.markowtrainingsystems.com/core-breathing-program/
I can do the first three exercises kind of easily. The ribs stay on the floor and on the exhale they go in and back. However, they don’t go in all the way. Which makes me think that I just need to do more side planks to get the muscle strength needed to actually place the ribs in the correct spot?
Sometimes I look at my ribs and it looks unfixable. It’s only flared directly in the front but it seems like the ribs themselves are deformed like they are curving up and forward. I don’t see how muscles could correct that.
Sounds like you need to be paitient with yourself. Like we mention in the video with consistency your exhale is going to be a million times better in a a few weeks. Same with your ab strength. You can definitely add more side planks too but it’s really as simple as it takes time.
I would invite you to focus on the benefits of increased core strength, better breathing, improved aerobic capacity, etc other than being hyper focused on how they look. It’s a much better journey
@@IanMarkow Yeah I guess so. But I’m completely happy with the rest of my body (almost) and it’s just that people my age (16) don’t seem to have this rib flare and it annoys me a lot. I will be doing these exercises every day and see what happens.
@@nomix5176 hows it going? Im 15 and very annoyed by this aswell
Even if my back is flat, my ribs still flare quite a bit. Am I simply too skinny?
Not really enough information to give you any meaningful advice. We created a program to address all the major issues we come across. Here is the link if you want to check it out
www.markowtrainingsystems.com/core-breathing-program/
@@IanMarkow yes, my bad. I already breathe with my diaphraghm. If I lay down my ribs naturally flare, though even if I pull in my back and breathe out hard nothing really changes. Multiple people seem to have found success in that which I have not.
Sounds like you need to try a new approach. I would suggest consistently putting in the work with our core program. Make sure you are not crunching or pulling in your ribs but instead letting the breath do the work. You need to be put in positions that leverage obliques which is exactly what our program is designed to do.

@@IanMarkow Thanks for the response! Yes, I've started doing planks instead of crunches and doing more obliques and chest. I'm starting to feel like I'm still skinny even without flare, though.
sounds like you should eat more protein and lift more. @@heckincat1406
I whistled with my nose while exhaling💀
Let’s chalk it up to a W
Is it possible its just genetics?
Genetics always play a role. Changes can be made still. There is no downside to working on it as it will effect all aspects of movement and health
We just launched our program. When you are ready check it out. It’s only 3 x a week for 15 minutes

@@IanMarkow i have a rib flare on my left side that points out at the very end. when i lay down flat in bed, my lower back angles up and it kinda feels painful, also when I try walk with good posture it is hard to fully exhale and I feel tension in my abdominal. not only that, but it ruins my otherwise perfect physique 🥺. im going to consult the gp and also follow your advice
I don't understand, i watch quite a few videos and they all talk about breathing, this doesn't do anything... what confuses me more is people commenting "omg thank you" bruh my ribs are still out like what i am missing what yall doing
Okay. I’m happy to help. Maybe start with a question? What do you not understand? No matter what it’s not magic it takes consistency and getting better at it
@@IanMarkow like i keep doing what is being instructed but my ribcage still looks the same 😄
@@angrybees8122 How many times have you done it? Try videoing yourself from the side shirtless and see if your ribs are expanding and compressing. You can also do sets of breath holds after a full exhalation.
We are dropping a core and breathing program in the next two weeks that will be perfect for you but keep going. It takes time.
Bro how much time does it take
How much time does what take
@@IanMarkow maybe he was asking how much time it takes to see the visual impact on your body
@@parashkathoute6953 like everything in life everyone is an individual. I can get great visual changes with most people in 5 breaths when done correctly. Making this the default or seeing true structural changes would probably take somewhere between 2-4 months of consistent work.
@@IanMarkow thnx for replying and yeah I agree with your answer consistency is the key to success.
Bad posture, winged scapula, Little bunion on left foot, Chest Fat, Receding hair line, BMI below average : is me
still alive !
Little confused by your comment?
problems in me, man
I have all those problems!
