tummies and generally looking better.  6 pack abs, however, aren’t there just to make you more attractive – there are far more reasons to exercise your abs than that!

Your abs – that is, your abdominal muscles – are some of the most important muscles in your body. They protect your stomach, liver, kidneys, spleen, colon, spinal column, and much, much more. In fact, your abs have a role in almost every movement you make. This means that they are some of the most important muscles you possess in your entire body.

One of the best reasons to do ab exercises is that it will not only help you to prevent abdominal pain, but also will help alleviate existing back pain. Strong abs allow you to sit up straight and easily and prevent back strain. A little effort now can save you a lot of pain (and money) later on down the line. Even if you already experience some back pain from previous injuries, ab exercises can help to relieve some of the pain by taking some of the weight off your back.

Your abs do not just help to support your back – they support your spine, your arms and your legs, too. Although it might seem strange, having strong abs can make it much less tiring to walk long distances, as you are less likely to feel a ‘stitch’ in your side. Strong abs also keeps you more balanced, as they are situated at the body’s center of gravity. As your abs are a protective muscle, having strong abs makes you less likely to injure yourself when you fall.  When it comes to your vital organs, it could actually make the difference between life and death in the case of impact or an accident. This is very important if you are an athlete or play other sports where you might be prone to injury from falls or contact with other athletes. So although it may feel great to be able to flaunt your six-pack at the beach, there are far better reasons to keep doing those crunches!
