How To Activate The Transversus Abdominis (TA) Muscle & Strengthen It!
Video taken from the channel: Fitness Oriented
The Transverse Abdominis (TVA) is one of the muscles that makes up the core. It is the deepest of the abdominal muscles and is important for the protection and stability of the spine. The fibers of the Transverse Abdominis run horizontally as the muscle spans around the body like a cylinder.The transverse abdominal and the segmental stabilizers (e.g. the multifidi) of the spine have evolved to work in tandem. While it is true that the TVA is vital to back and core health, the muscle also has the effect of pulling in what would otherwise be a protruding abdomen (hence its nickname, the “corset muscle”).
The importance of the transverse abdominis Each abdominal muscle provides its own unique contribution toward creating a strong and stable core. The TVA specifically plays a major role in flattening the abdominal wall, compressing the internal organs and aiding in.Transverse Abdominis: This muscle is the deepest of the abdominal group and helps with breathing but more importantly it activates the core and stabilizes the pelvis and low.
The transversus abdominus muscle (TA) plays a very important role in pelvic floor (PF) rehabilitation and function, but most explanations for controlling continence don’t mention any.As its name suggests, the fibers of transversus abdominis are oriented transversely, perpendicular to the linea alba. Together with the other abdominal muscles, transversus abdominis is important for maintaining normal abdominal tension and increasing intra-abdominal pressure.Unlike the rectus abdominis (or visible six-pack muscles), the TVA muscle fibers run horizontally, Handley says. A strong transverse abdominis compresses and flattens the belly, whereas the rectus muscle fibers run vertically and grow outward.
Good news if you’re sick of crunches: Forget about them—they won’t help strengthen your TVA.The transverse abdominis, or TVA, is the deepest of the abdominal muscles and wraps around the spine for protection and stability. The TVA lies beneath the rectus abdominis and runs horizontally across the abdomen creating hoop tension in the core.The transverse abdominis supports your baby during pregnancy.
The fibers act just like a corset, pulling the core in from all angles (front and back). They are the most important of the muscle groups of the abdomen. The pelvic floor and TA keep your belly from dropping to your toes.While this group of deep muscles don’t help with flexion the way the oblique muscles do, they do help with breathing and expelling air from the lungs and they also help protect the internal organs and spine.
In fact, when you pull in your stomach, it’s the transversus abdominis that you are engaging.Transverse abdominis. Providing you with protection and stability, this muscle is located underneath both the external and internal obliques, along the front and sides of the abdominal wall. It also wraps around your spine and is the deepest of the abdominal muscle group. Target the.
The TVA muscle is a predominantly slow twitch muscle comprising the deepest layer of abdominal musculature and is innervated by the lower intercostal nerves.The transversus abdominis muscle, named according to the direction of its muscle fibers, is one of the flat muscles that form the anterior abdominal wall.It is deep to the internal oblique muscle and ends in the anterior aponeurosis, which ultimately blends with the linea alba.Transverse Abdominis. The deepest and most important muscle is the transverse abdominis (TVA) muscle. This core muscle lies below all of the other abdominals and may be responsible for many injuries related to the spine directly and extremities indirectly.
You may think that every time you perform abdominal exercises you are working the TVA as.The TVA also acts as your body’s natural “girdle,” pulling your muscles in and helping draw in a “pooch” belly. In addition, they are important in protecting your back, stabilizing your pelvis, and improving your posture.

I like the 10% cue. Many of my clients (especially the stronger, athletic ones) really struggle to activate the TVA because they push too hard and get the rectus involved.
I couldn’t feel anything follow the two Inches in and one and half down
Has anyone used the Custokebon Secrets to lost lots of fat? Just do a google search. On there you will find an awesome guidelines about how you can lost tons of fat. Why not give it a shot? maybe it’ll work for you too.
Hey HbombFitness1,
I use an integrated warm-up before every workout:
1. Release
2. Stretch
3. Mobilize (When Appropriate)
4. Activate (that’s where this exercise would go.
5. Core
6. Stability Integration
7. Subsystem Integration
8. Reactive Integration
It takes some time, but then again, it also replaces the general warm-up (10min on treadmill), addresses flexibility, core, interand intra-muscular coordination…. in essence you get a lot of bang for your buck
Hope that helps,

I just watched this video again. Your ideas are great. ������ From a contemporary Pilates point of view my emphasis would be on core activation through breath such as the Lewit manoeuvre, which can encourage early activation of TA, in addition, add pelvic floor recruitment. This way the client works from the core to the periphery on this activation exercise.
In any ab exercise you want to activate this? Also lower abs stick out a lot, I will be doing these everyday cause everything else I have tried has not worked
Thanks for the info. Some patients have a hard time learning pelvic tilts. Nice techniques.
Hey George,
Be careful, Stuart McGill is ONE brilliant professor and researcher, but he does not speak for everyone. Richardson, Hodges & Hides, have plenty of research to support there model which includes the drawing-in maneuver. They often refer to McGill’s research, integrating the two directions. I have used the drawing-in maneuver as a cue, but also understand that bracing is necessary with larger loads. Honestly, I’m not sure why there is such controversy.
Just my thoughts,
B2
I gonna make a sandwich on Robs back…Could see more if Rob had no shorts on……. I am making fun for myself right now
I remember a few years coming across a news reel about a study suggesting that that older folks who could sit up from floor without using hands to help live 8 years longer (average and with quality) barring harmful life-style issues. Any truth to that? Could the causation be less chance if falling, less broken hip incidents or being able to self-help from a fall. Therefore my request of you sharing the knowledge of what bodily functions/development are required to enable sitting up with no hand help thru out life.
My hip flexors get activated with his excercise and don’t feel my core. What am I doing wrong
Hello Dr….I’m 33yrs old. I have a question. 15 years ago i had my right testicle remove, i was told i had a torsion. I work in construction through this past 15 years ive had pain/soreness in the lower abdomen and pelvis area, the first 2 years i was worried went to general Doctor’s, got ultrasounds done, never found anything wrong. 35 days ago while being on top of a ladder i pushed an item and i felt a small pop in the area that i always have pain (Lower right rectus abdominis) between belly button and pelvic bone. I had swelling in bands like 1/2 of an inch thick, vertical and horizontal that went from belly button to right pelvic bone where the inguinal canal, and one that across like a t. Went to the ER got a CT scan, they didn’t find anything major. In the report it says ( small fatty umbilical Hernia). I followed up with another Dr. He said it could be a strained muscle, gave me ibuprofen and sent me home. For what I’m feeling this is exactly what happened 15 years ago and it wasn’t a torsion that cut the blood supply to my testicle, it was the inflammation of that runs down thru the inguinal canal. Well, its been 35 days since i got hurt, i pretty much been resting the whole time, in bed. i still have some inflammation/swelling of those bands, i feel better but today, i wanted to peel carrots and that little effort i made, got me in so much pain and i feel sore. My question is, what is the usual healing time for a strained core muscle, and what should i do to recover faster? Hopefully i hear from you, Thank you.
i could never seem to do the ‘pelvic tilt’ to find that muscle, but when i clinch my butt muscles, the pelvic tilts; have i got it?
Great video, but I’m sure your readers would love to see a list of references including research articles that provide evidence for this information. I know I would:-)
is this muscle (transversus abdominus) activate in Standard plank exercise???
Presenter looks like Roger Federer’s twin bro:) Great information thanks:))
Did you finally find those filthy hobbitses who stole your precious?
Nice video, thank you. At 2:30 you show Scott doing a stomach vacuum. Is what you mean by contraction ‘sucking in your gut’ or a ‘hard stabilization of the core’? Also, in the lying down exercise with the legs, how do you keep the hip flexors out of the equation?
hi im a bit confused cuz when i’m doing this exercise I can do it fine but the one thing I can’t manage is keeping my spin uncurved and I don’t know why.
I know great place to learn about workouts. Just google for ‘Unflexal’:)
This will help with my diastasis recti, strengthening the TA. Would you please do a video on closing the gap on the superficial abdominals also. I have a 3 1/2 finger gap. A lot of women are unaware that they have this issue.
Thanks Brent,
According to Dr. Stuart McGill (a professor of spine biomechanics at the University of Waterloo (Waterloo, ON, Canada) the “draw in” is not only an ineffective technique but a myth. Youtube video “Waterloo’s Dr. Spine, Stuart McGill”
Thanks in advance
