| Hey Friend,
Today, I want to tell you about the body's most primal muscle… that you've probably never even heard of (let alone trained).
Your hips are the bridge between your upper body and lower body. They are at the center of your body's movement.
Sitting within the well of your hip and lower spine is the psoas major muscle, one of the two muscles that make up the iliopsoas.
It's often called the "mighty" psoas (pronounced so-az) for the many important functions it plays in the movement of your body.
The psoas is the only muscle in the human body connecting the upper body to the lower body.
The
muscle attaches to the vertebrae of the lower spine, moves through the
pelvis and connects to a tendon at the top of the femur. It also attaches to the diaphragm, so it’s connected to your breathing, and upon it sits all the major organs.
A
functioning psoas muscle creates a neutral pelvic alignment, stabilizes
the hips, supports the lower spine and abdomen, supports the organs in
the pelvic and abdominal cavity and gives you greater mobility and core strength.
But when this muscle is tight and out of shape it can give you the dreaded Pot Belly!

| | If your stomach sticks out, even though you're eating right and working out regularly, then real cause could likely be due to tight psoas muscles.
This can cause the
lower back to curve pushing out the stomach. However, when the psoas works
properly it pulls the abdomen back tucking the tummy in, giving you a
strong, flat stomach.
That's why I urge you to try these…..
