The abdominal muscles, commonly referred to as the "abs", are a pair of long, flat muscles that extend up and down the entire length of the abdomen. Each muscle consists of a string of fleshy muscular tissue connected by narrow tendons. It has a lumpy appearance when well defined and tensed.


The abdominal muscles perform the important task of flexing the torso and spine in the abdominal region. They do this by pulling the ribcage closer to the pelvis. The abdominal muscles can also contract the abdomen without moving the torso - they do this when an individual sucks in their tummy.


Note: Results are best seen when performed in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet.
