The deepest layer of abdominal muscles, the transverse abdominis, acts like a corset to provide stability for the core throughout all types of exercise - and everyday movement. When we are working the abs on the forearms, alignment of your upper body is key. Ensure your elbows are pulled back behind your rib cage and lined up directly under the shoulders. Work to press your shoulders away from your ears, broadening through your collarbones and lifting through your chest. Focus on drawing the navel in to drive your movement and the core work will be more effective as you learn to maintain proper form
