Your abdominal muscles are a lot like a skilled group of employees. The harder they work, the better they make you look. And vice versa.
This is because you use your abs in virtually every movement that matters: Lifting. Running. Jumping. Reproducing. (It takes a lot of midsection stability to stand over that copy machine. Especially when it's printing on both sides of the page.) So the stronger they are, the harder and longer you'll be able to play.
So whether you're bending, twisting, leaping, or chilling, these exercises ensure that you and your abs will perform better and last longer. And, on the off-chance that you need to remove your shirt before bending, twisting, leaping, or chilling, your hardworking, multitasking abdominal muscles will make that a painless experience, too.
