Abdominal muscles

1) Definition.

Remember that your abs (abdominal or colloquially called abs) are striated muscles located in the middle of your body. The abdominals are the chest to the upper edge of the basin. These are the muscles you use most because they allow your body to ensure the rotation and tilt.

The abdominal muscles are in the gray.

The abdominals play an important role in balancing the pelvis, posture, static spine, but also forced expiration and cough in direct confrontation with the diaphragm pushing the abdominal contents.

There are eight abdominal muscles, placed symmetrically. The abdominals are composed of a set of four different types of muscles:

* The Great Law,
* The Grand oblique
* The internal oblique,
* The Transverse.

2) Strength Training.

The abdominals are also strengthening exercises aimed at muscle or to emphasize the abdominals. You hear so often someone say “I’ll do my abs.

For your abs become visible, your body fat should not exceed 10% if you are male and 15% if you are a woman.
