Abdomen toning not only for beauty

It’s  very essential to understand  the function of your abs. You should really know, where each muscle is, what they do and how they can be exercised with the least risk of injury.

Here is a list for each one and what they do:

The very deep transverse abdominis: It works hard to stabilize the spine and compress the internal organs. it does help with respiration and breathing.
