Understanding Abdominals

Abdominals! One of the muscles in your body that has several names. Some say abs, 6 or 8 pack, and even core. Whatever you may know them as, they are responsible for holding your upper body and lower body together. You have to admit, that are great set of them will set you apart from those who fail to get theirs to show. The best way to get your abdominals to show is to best understand how they operate. So, here's a little education that will open your eyes and hopefully start you on a new strategy. There's actually 4 different sections that make up your entire abdominals and they are as follow: transversus abdominis, rectus abdominis, external oblique muscles, and internal oblique muscles. The definition and its functions are located in the diagram below:

Transverse abdomininis: Located under the obliques, it is the deepest of the abdominal muscles and wraps around your spine for protection and stability.

Rectus abdominis: Located along the front of the abdomen, this is the most well-known abdominal. Often referred to as the "six pack."

External abdominal oblique: Located on the side and front of the abdomen.


Internal abdominal oblique: Located under the external obliques, running in the opposite direction.


Getting your abdominal to show is challenging and is one of the most researched topic when it comes to fitness. They're are at least a hundred reasons why this is difficult because of the way our food is processed today and your knowledge level on how they operate. Plus, there's a lot of supplements and fat loss pills that have failed in their promises and it kind of discourages those who may have tried them. I hope that you haven't lost faith because I have a video that will give you hope and possibly motivation.
