Abdominals or Pilates Muscle Anatomy Abdominals is perhaps the most important muscle group to train. Strong abdominal muscles means a stronger back and more powerful overall physique.The function of the abdominals is spine or lumbar flexion.The origin of the abdominals originates on the pubis crest.The insertion of the rectus abdominis is onto the ribs(5th, 6th, and 7th) as well as onto the Xipoid Process.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. Other names for this muscle group or similar muscle groups referred to the 'Pilates' are: Abs, abdominal, abdominals, Rectus Abdominis, gut, six pack, eight pack, washboard, waist, belly, Core Strength, stomach, Lower Abdominals
