This is part of the Men's Health Body Bible, a collection of cutting-edge stories focused on helping you build more muscle using the latest science and lessons from some of the finest athletes and trainers on the planet.
Unlike body parts that handle just one or two tasks (like your biceps, which are most heavily utilized to bend your elbows), all those core muscles have a host of responsibilities. They work together to flex your spine (as happens during a classic situp), and they help rotate your shoulders so you can turn to look at a friend. They also prevent excessive rounding of the lower back (known as anti-flexion), a key tactic in the battle to stop back pain. The ideal abs regimen trains all these functions, protecting you against injuries and readying your core (and spine) for anything life can throw at you. Horschig says people finally get that. “More and more people are starting to understand the true role of core,” he says.
