MASTERING THE CORE: RECTUS ABDOMINUS<\/h1>\n
When thinking about working the abs, most people think of it as one big section. \u00a0The truth, however, is that your abs are a complex muscle system and that each group needs to be worked. \u00a0When you are working on that six-pack look, you\u2019re working on your rectus abdominus.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The rectus abdominus is located in the front, center of your stomach. \u00a0It runs from the ribs all the way to the pelvis, and is all one muscle; so, when you hear people working on their \u201cupper\u201d and \u201clower\u201d abs, they\u2019re really working the same muscle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The best way to work your rectus abdominus is through regular crunches, lower leg raises, and leg tucks<\/a>. \u00a0You should be familiar with the first two exercises; the last one is where you sit on the floor or on the edge of a chair and bring your legs into your chest and then away in a controlled manner.<\/div>\n
Also remember that your stomach muscles are just like any other muscle and shouldn\u2019t be trained every day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
