When you perform abdominal exercises, you often target your upper or lower abdomen for work. While standard crunches or curls will put stress on the upper abs, reverse crunches or hip lifts will blast the lower abs. You may think youâre working two muscles, but the abdominal muscle, or rectus abdominis, is technically a single long muscle.
