Tip of the Day: Our ab muscles serve a purpose other than looking good as a “six pack” on a fit figure. That seems obvious, right?! Let’s dig deeper! Our ab muscles serve function including pulling the torso toward the legs (like a crunch), rotating the torso from side to side, and compression (pulling the stomach in). Clearly, these movements are all very different, so when training abdominal muscles, the exercises must be unique in order to target the many abdominal muscles. These muscles will therefore be trained by exercise that involve crunching type movements (in today’s workout – raised knee crunches & bench knee ups), rotation (in today’s workout – plank with hip twists), and compression (in today’s workout – rollovers). When designing workouts, always be sure to keep in mind all the ways a group of muscles functions in order to train and target that muscle in different ways.
