Abdominal Oblique muscle:

The Abdominal Oblique Muscles are a pair of muscles located on each side of the abdomen. The abdominal Oblique muscles consist of two sets: the external Obliques and the internal Obliques. The external Obliques, located on the outermost layer of the abdomen, have diagonal fibers running downward and toward the midline, forming a V-shape. When contracted, they assist in trunk rotation to the opposite side and contribute to forward flexion of the spine. The internal Obliques lie beneath the external Obliques, with diagonal fibers running upward and toward the midline in an inverted V-shape. Their contraction aids in trunk rotation to the opposite side and supports trunk flexion. Both sets of Obliques play a crucial role in providing stability to the spine, supporting posture, and contributing to overall core strength. Strengthening exercises for these muscles are commonly included in fitness routines to enhance abdominal stability and functional movement.
