Abs Exercises

Abs Exercises are one of the most important muscle groups in the body, and not just because of how they look. Many of us have the goal of getting flat abs, and while that's a fine goal to have, strong abs are even more important.

If you look beyond the six pack, you'll see a group of muscles that have a very important purpose. Not only do they help you bend, extend, rotate, and flex your torso, they support the most important part of your body: your spine.

Almost all of your movements originate from your core, so the stronger you are, the easier everything becomes and the more you protect yourself from injury.
All About Your Abs Exercises

We use the word "Abs Exercises" to collectively describe four major muscles in the torso. Knowing what each one does and the exercises that target those muscles will help you set up the perfect ab workout for a strong, fit core.
the rectus abdominis is the muscle group we're probably the most familiar with because it's also known as the "six-pack" muscles.
We call it that because there are three tendinous creases there that separate the muscle, giving it that washboard look.

If you don't see that washboard look, you're not alone. Most of us don't see the rectus abdominis because, unfortunately, that's where many of us tend to store excess fat.
