Abdominal muscles anatomy

Exercises for the abs are often practiced in fitness centers. Usually, people do them with the goal of improving their figure, specifically aiming for a flat stomach. However, it should be known that just working out the abs is not enough for a flat stomach, and excessive focus on such exercises can even be dangerous. If done incorrectly, they can pose a threat to the groin, abdominal wall, and intervertebral discs. Nevertheless, it is still important to strengthen the abdominal muscles. The author of this book offers a new set of exercises for the abdominal muscles, based on an understanding of the body's anatomical structure. She also debunks some misconceptions and prejudices about abs. Thanks to the book, you will learn what precautions to take when doing popular ab exercises and how to better organize your workouts depending on the results you want to achieve. This guide is aimed at anyone who wants to tone their abs (for example, those who practice yoga, dance, aqua aerobics, singing, martial arts), as well as professional trainers, kinesiotherapists, and physical education teachers. Blondin Calle-German, being a choreographer and kinesiotherapist, has been involved in anatomical education since 1980 and shares her knowledge through numerous publications. Blondin's area of interest is the practical application of movement anatomy, so her educational courses always combine theory with practice.
