| Muscle of the Month |
| Transversus Abdominis Numerous people who exercise their abdominal muscles have not learned how to exercise their Transversus Abdominis. Most people don't even know they have this muscle. It is the chief muscle of forced expiration. This muscle combined with the Rectus Abdominis and the Internal and External Obliquus muscles assist in holding the abdominals flat. The fibers of the Transversus Abdominis run horizontally, while the Rectus Abdominis fibers run vertically and the Obliquus muscles run on angles. Exercise are best performed when the movement is in the same direction the fibers run. Almost all CORE exercises programs will greatly strengthen this muscle. Pulling your belly button in towards your spine is one way to work this muscle. This can be done isometrically laying down or standing. The Transversus Abdominis is one of the major muscle to be strengthened in core strengthening. This muscle plays a very important role in stabilizing the back and pelvic girdle. When the Transversus Abdominis is strong and stable it will accomplish the work for the body it was created to do. When the work cannot be done by this muscle the body will call on other muscles to do it's job. This will cause back strain because the back muscles are trying to perform their job and the job of the Transversus Abdominis muscle. This is a critical muscle to strengthen. |
