About The Abdominal Muscles

This is the group of muscles which form a muscular 'corset, which joins the bottom of the rib cage to the pelvis.

The Rectus Abdominus (the 6-pack) flexes your torso forward, whiles the Obliques (down your side) allow you to twist at the waist and to bend from side to side.
