MASTERING THE CORE:\u00a0TRANSVERSE ABDOMINUS<\/strong><\/h1>\n
The transverse abdominus is the deepest of our ab muscles. \u00a0It is responsible for holding everything in place on the inside, including the spine. \u00a0Although we don\u2019t see this muscle from the outside, we should still work on strengthening it. \u00a0If the transverse abdominus becomes weak, it can lead to back problems, poor posture, and other issues.<\/div>\n
\n

\"\"<\/a>Pilates is a great way to tone this muscle because the moves used require you to engage your core at its deepest level. \u00a0You can begin to locate this muscle by lying on your back and placing your hands over your stomach. \u00a0Now squeeze your belly button downward to your spine. \u00a0When your hands lower, you are using your transverse abdominus.<\/p>\n

You can also do this move while standing or, to provide more resistance, in a pushup position. \u00a0If trying the pushup position though, be sure to hold your body in a straight line and don\u2019t let your butt stick up or droop!<\/p>\n
