READ: Transversus abdominus Excercises

[Fit_4_Life]

Hey~~~

does anyone know any good transversus abdominus excercises? ( lower abs, below belly button, the muscles that lie beneath) That really work that area out good. I would love a couple links if you have them.

Does crunches & side crunches for the obliques work this area. That has been what I have been doing. But I dont think its touching that area.

I do know of the stomach Vacuum. I have hear it is very affective. ia m going to try it. has anyone done this excercise? How did you like it?

Thanks

Many pilates based ab exercises are tranverse based as well so you may want to look into some pilates for 'abs specific' exercises.

You can target them doing regular crunches if you tilt your pelvis while you do them. Not sure how to explain it over a forum, but think of tucking your butt in. I'm sure that was a clear as mud.
