Yeah...this clip is from my main blog, Fitness Black Book. It is a quick summary of a great ab exercise that Bruce Lee used to do. Make sure and click the link for the whole thing. A lot of my readers have got a lot out of this.

The "Breath of Dragon" Explained
First you want to breath in. Then you want to simultaneously flex your abs hard while breathing out. Here is the trick…you want to purse your lips and make it a bit hard to force the air out. It should take you about 5-10 seconds to force all of the air out. As you let the air out of your lungs your abs should have the ability to flex harder and harder.
What the Heck Does This Do? This exercise "sharpens" up your abs quit a bit. You will want to practice this in front of a mirror (at home please). Once you have expelled all of the air, you abs should look defined (provided your body fat is low enough). What happens is that over time, your abs will look this way even when you aren't flexing them!
