Detailed explanation-1: -The abdominal muscles are located between the ribs and the pelvis on the front of the body. The abdominal muscles support the trunk, allow movement and hold organs in place by regulating internal abdominal pressure.

Detailed explanation-2: -The core is the group of trunk and hip muscles that surround the spine, abdominal viscera and hip. Core muscles are essential for proper load balance within the spine, pelvis, and kinetic chain. They spare the spine from excessive load and are essential for lad transfer between the upper and lower body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Core is composed of as many as 35 different muscle groups connecting into the pelvis from the spine and hip area. In order to simplify the Core muscles I have divided them into four regions; back extensors, abdominals, lateral trunk muscles, and the hip muscles.

Detailed explanation-4: -The core muscles have two main functions 1) to spare the spine from excessive load and 2) to transfer force from the lower body to the upper body and vice versa. Having a strong, stable core helps us to prevent injuries and allows us to perform at our best.

Detailed explanation-5: -Transversus abdominis – the deepest muscle layer. Rectus abdominis – slung between the ribs and the pubis at the front of the pelvis. External oblique muscles – these are on each side of the rectus abdominis. Internal oblique muscles – these flank the rectus abdominis and are located just inside the hipbones.
