The major muscles of your core include:
Transverse Abdominis (TVA)-The deepest of the abdominal muscles, this lies under the obliques (muscles of your waist). It acts like a weight belt, wrapping around your spine for protection and stability.
External Obliques-These muscles are on the side and front of the abdomen, around your waist.
Internal Obliques[-These muscles lie under the external obliques, running in the opposite direction.
Rectus Abdominis-The Rectus Abdominis is a long muscle that extends along the front of the abdomen.
This is the 'six-pack' part of the abs that becomes visible with reduced body fat.
Erector Spinae -The erector spinae is actually a collection of three muscles along your neck to your lower back.
