The transversus abdominus
I am always screaming at my clients about standing tall and pulling in the TVA(transversus abdominus). Here is a very scary picture on day five of Disney World. It is late afternoon and I am frustrated with the kids. Check out my posture after 5 days of walking.....Naval to Spine Mendy!!!!!!! A shout out to my hubby a big "thanks" for taking this picture.
The transversus abdominus is made of a wide band of fibers that wrap horizontally around the middle of the body. It forms a supportive girdle for the trunk, making it an essential muscle of core stabilization. Pulling in the transversus abdominus results in a reduction of diameter of the abdomen. In other words, it gives you a waist.
