RECTUS ABDOMINUS

This is the 6-pack.  It sits on top of the other stomach muscles and down the center from the rib cage to the pubis bone.  Its main job is to keep the pelvis in line which in turn protects the spine. 

It is not possible for everyone to achieve the 6-pack look.  Thanks to your genes, your body may be predisposed to storing fat in your abdominal area.  Underneath that fat layer you may have perfectly defined  abs.

 By targeting your abdominals with a combination of different exercises, you will get the best results.  All of your abdominal exercises will work the rectus abdominus.
