When it comes to building a strong, stable core, not all ab exercises are created equal. While some exercises, like crunches, target the rectus abdominis, or outer six-pack muscles, others target the deepest muscles in your mid-section.
When we talk about ‘deep core muscles’, we’re referring to the transverse abdominis, but also the diaphragm, the pelvic floor, and the multifidus. These muscles control movement through the midsection of the body, helping to keep you stabilized as you move, and preventing injuries.
