This is what most people mean when they say "abs." It's the visible six-pack muscle. It flexes your spine—bringing your ribs toward your pelvis. Crunches, leg raises, and hollow body holds train it. But visible abs come from low body fat, not just training. Train it with flexion exercises and support it with good nutrition. Strong rectus abdominis protects your spine and supports your core.
