The anterior abdominal muscles are made up of four muscle groups.
These muscles are the rectus abdominis, transversus abdominis, internal oblique, and external oblique muscles.
Strengthening these muscles helps support the body’s frame and may decrease back pain and injuries.
If you do feel pain, stop and check in with your personal healthcare provider.
