It is a large muscle that contains many internal organs - stomach, intestines, liver and of course kidney and bladder, also your reproductive organs, and offers protection to them. Keeping your abdomen in good nick can help you to look fit and toned (ie to get a flat stomach and/or perfect abs), and it will also make you feel 'fab'.

You will find you can achieve that elusive six pack abs that you're after. You can easily find a regime or exercise machine to suit your needs. In addition you can always find books and e-books to find the perfect regime to suit you and achieve your six pack...

This is the same except that you put your head between your knees (and don't look up!)
