ANATOMY OF THE ABDOMINAL MUSCLES

Abdominal Exercises for a Flat Stomach To Do At Home


To model toned abdominal and a flat stomach in the shortest possible time, you must not forget the fundamental rules of anatomy.

Above all to know where the fulcrum that many forget is hidden.

In general, the main part of the abs is made up of three different parts.

These are:

the rectus muscle of the abdomen (musculus rectus abdominis),

the transverse abdominal muscle (musculus transversus abdominis),

the oblique muscle of the abdomen (musculus obliquus abdominal).

If you want a toned abs, remember that you need to strain all three groups.

How to do it, I'll explain step by step.


RECTUS MUSCLE OF THE ABDOMEN

First of all, let's take a look at the purpose of the rectus abdominal muscle.


There is a completely wrong belief regarding this muscle.

Remember that high, medium, and low abs don't really exist.

We use this terminology only to better choose the exercises.

Originally these are three groups of different muscle fibers, which at first glance work separately, but in reality form only one, the rectus abdominal muscle.

It is also known as the six pack and allows you to bend your torso in the chest-knee direction and vice versa.

TRANSVERSE MUSCLE OF THE ABDOMEN\

Much less known, but no less important is the transverse abdominal muscle.

Unlike the muscle above, this is located deeper and you can imagine it as a very important wrap of your belly.

The muscle fibers of the transverse abdominal muscle play a stabilizing role and are very important for your well-being, your posture and your movements.


OBLIQUE MUSCLE OF THE ABDOMEN

An extra touch to the belly is given by the oblique muscle of the abdomen.

To be exact, there are two types, namely the oblique muscle of the external and internal abdomen.

It is very important that you do not forget about this group, because in addition to lifting the torso, it also allows rotation and takes care of making you have a slimmer waistline.


HOW TO TRAIN THE ABDOMINAL?

To have a flat stomach, another information is essential ...

In addition to understanding which muscle groups to strain, it is also important to:

train them properly.

Forget about repetitions until you drop.

The solution lies in effective exercises and perfect execution.

So I'll show you my 8 favorite exercises below.
