Abdominals
The abdominals, commonly referred to as the "abs," are a group of muscles located in the front of the abdomen. They play a crucial role in core stability, helping to support the spine and maintain proper posture. The main muscles in this group include the rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, and obliques.
These muscles are engaged during various activities, such as bending, twisting, and lifting. Strengthening the abdominals can improve athletic performance and reduce the risk of injury. Exercises like crunches, planks, and bicycle kicks are popular for targeting these muscles effectively.
