  
Exercising your
abdominal region will
not only help strengthen
a very important muscle
group, it helps support
your upper body, taking
some of the strain off
your low back.
Not everyone wants
washboard abs, but
keeping this muscle group strong will be well worth
the effort.
Keep in mind that if you are trying to lose weight in
the abdominal area, you can do a zillion situps, and may still have fat over the top of your well-toned muscles. True, you will have a strong stomach, but you will need to exercise with intensity (aerobic) to burn off the stored calories so you can see the results from strength training your abs.
