93. Myths About the Abdominals

In this episode of Office Hours we discuss:

• The abdominal muscles work in concert with the diaphragm and the pelvic floor. 
• The major function of the abdominals is to stabilize the trunk by connecting the rib cage and the pelvis.
• Your abs “know what to do," so focus on alignment and remember, “Your abdominal muscles are smarter than you are.”
• The abdomen has no lungs. Pacify the abdomen in breathing practices.
