Crunches can be a real pain in the neck. Although this popular exercise helps strengthen your rectus abdominis at the front of your waistline, if you're a newbie to exercise, or if your form is poor, it can do more harm than good, and strain your neck. Gradually building up your abdominal strength and mastering proper form is essential to get the most out of crunches. About Abdominal Crunches Although crunches don't spot reduce fat from your tummy, they do strengthen your abs, and as part of
Reverse crunches work the muscles in the lower part of your abdomen, which is an area where many people, and especially women, have a belly pooch. Although this exercise won't spot reduce fat, it can strengthen and tone your abs. This is beneficial, because as part of your core, strong abs can improve your posture, athletic performance, balance and stability, while also alleviating lower back pain. (See References 1) Reverse Crunch Muscle Activation Although the reverse crunch is often referred
Your transverse abdominis, or TVA muscle, is the foundation of any movement your make. This deep lying muscle, which is located underneath your rectus abdominis, stabilizes your lower back and pelvis, and assists during the breathing process. Targeted exercises can strengthen your TVA and have a corset-like effect; the muscle develops inward, forming a frame around your stomach and tightly holds it in. This slims your waist, and also improve your posture, balance, and stability. (See References 1)
Learning experience 2- question #2 The rectus abdominis is the most prominent of the abdominal muscles. The muscle is long, and flat and runs down the anterior of the abdomen. It is divided into segments by the linea alba and the horizontal tenidous. This muscle is what forms fit and toned abdominals most commonly known as a "six pack". The rectus abdominis is the abdominal muscle that aids in trunk and hip flexion. It depresses the ribs and flexes the vertebral column, narrowing the space
1. What is meant by the statement “Singing is a learned behavior”? Most people are not naturally “born singers.” Many people believe that “singing is some type of gift” (Phillips, 222). I have heard this phrase many times in my life. My family would always ask me who I inherited my music talent from. If music was a gift then why would the public use tax dollars to teach every student music. Some students just have a higher musical aptitude than others. This means that some students will be
2. Name the 5 basic principles of alignment that are incorporated into the work and briefly describe each. Breath: The goal of the breathing is to relax unnecessary tension in the body and to encourage the engagement of the transversus abdominis on the exhale while maintaining engagement during the inhale. During exhalation the rib cage closes in and down while the spine flexes slightly, exhalation is encouraged when the spine is flexing. During inhalation the rib cage open out and up
decreased injury rates. There has been substantial evidence demonstrating core muscle recruitment alterations in low back pain patients compared with healthy controls. Lower Back Pain The transverse abdominus and multifidus display change in recruitment that limit their ability to effectively stabilize the spine and provide accurate proprioceptive information (Bliven, K. & Anderson, B, 2013). After examining core muscle recruitment patterns during lower and upper extremity movements in low back pain
similar muscles types with similar functions, which help them survive and function throughout their individual habitats. Arm and Shoulder Muscles One of the most important muscles in both a mink and a human are those of the arms and shoulders because of their involvement with movement. One of the primal movers of arm abduction along the frontal plane is the deltoid muscle found in both minks and humans. In both species, deltoid muscles allow for the abduction of the humerus. The next two muscles are
flexors, shoulder joint, abdomen and rotator cuffs. Hip flexors are a group of muscles that flex the thigh bone onto the pelvic girdle, that is, they help in controlling
Excess stomach fat can wreak havoc on your health. Harvard Health Publications states that visceral, which lies deep within your abdomen, raises your risk of healthy conditions, such as stroke and hypertension. A combination of dieting and exercising can help reduce belly fat and flatten your tummy. Rather than settling for temporary weight loss, opt for long-term results by incorporating lifestyle changes you can maintain in the long run. Calories In Versus Calories Out To lose belly fat and to
plane. In particular it targets the muscle, erector spinae, which is located along the side of your spinal cord. The muscle runs from the Inferior part of the lower back and superior towards the neck. The erector spinae group also aids as supporters that help lengthen the vertebral column. The woman in the video begins the exercise on her hands and knees. She begins the exercise with lifting both her left arm and her right leg at the same time. Firing her muscle fibers in the anterior part of the
the muscle was exposed. The experimenters located ten muscles by using a probe to make the certain muscle located more visible. The first muscle found was the sternomastoid located in the center of the neck, following was the biceps brachii which was located in the shoulders, the pectoralis muscle was located in the mid-chest area, the sartorius was located in the top thigh area in the middle from hip region to the knee, the tibialis anterior was located right on the tibia bone. Next muscle was the

This phase happens instantaneously when the ball is released from the hand. During this movement there is very little muscle activation in the erector spinae especially during the start and release phases although the movement increases steadily throughout this slightly lateral to the overhead position, enabling ball contact at 100 degrees of arm abduction. If the ball

No matter how many situps you do, if you have excess belly fat, you'll never see results, because the fat will be covering up your muscle definition. This doesn't mean you should eliminate situps from your workout, because as part of your core, they can promote back health, and improve your posture, athletic performance, and balance and stability. (See References 1) You should, however, incorporate fat-burning exercises into your workout to get visible results. The Spot Reduction Fallacy To lose
Today was my second day on labor and delivery. When Grace and I first arrived, we were sent to change. After Grace and I changed into our scrubs, we went to the front desk to receive our tasks. A registered nurse (RN) asked us if we would like to see a vaginal birth or a caesarean section (c-section). I choose to watch a c-section, and Grace decided to observe a vaginal birth. Once we decided on who would do what, we went our separate ways. I followed the RN nurse who was to assist and prep the operating

Abdomen Our cadaver’s abdomen seemed generally to have been in good health. We did, however, find sutures in the right inguinal region. The possible causes for this will be discussed in detail below. As for the rest of the abdomen, we could clearly see all the organs. Although we at first struggled to find the celiac trunk, once we found it we understood the arterial supply as well as the relations of the arteries to the liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas and duodenum much better. After removing the
movement, various muscle groups are involved in its realization. For example, an activity as routine as drinking a glass of water requires arm muscles approach the glass to the oral cavity, the throat muscles swallowing, intestinal muscle help move the liquid and the bladder muscle ejected. All of above plus muscle strain in the back, neck, head and legs that allow us to adopt an upright position, whether you are sitting or standing. “The human body contains 640 different muscles” each one performing
