Abdominals or Belly Muscle Anatomy and Overview Abdominals is perhaps the most important muscle group to train. Strong abdominal muscles means a stronger back and more powerful overall physique.Belly Function The function of the abdominals is spine or lumbar flexion.Belly Origin The origin of the abdominals originates on the pubis crest.Belly Insertion The insertion of the rectus abdominis is onto the ribs(5th, 6th, and 7th) as well as onto the Xipoid Process.Belly Training There are many exercises which train the abdominals, this muscle group contains many slow twitch muscle fibres and training depends on the purpose of the training program. For example, if one was losing fat on their belly they would train their abs three times per week with resistance allowing adequate time for recovery.
