The rectus abdominis is a very long flat muscle, which extends along the whole length of the front of the abdomen, and is separated from its fellow of the opposite side by the linea alba. Tendinous intersections (intersectiones tendineae) further subdivide each rectus abdominis muscle into a series of smaller muscle bellies.
The linea alba is a white, fibrous band that is made of the bilateral rectus sheaths that join at the anterior midline of the body. These enclose the rectus abdominis muscles (a pair of long, linear muscles, commonly called the “sit-up” muscles) that originate at the pubic crest and pubic symphysis, and extend the length of the body’s trunk.

The leg raise is a strength training exercise which targets the iliopsoas (the anterior hip flexors).Because the abdominal muscles are used isometrically to stabilize the body during the motion, leg raises are also often used to strengthen the rectus abdominis muscle and the internal and external oblique muscles.
The abdominal wall is made up of several layers of muscles, which are collectively known as the abdominal muscles. These muscles support the spine, protect the internal organs, and help with movement. The five main abdominal muscles are: Rectus abdominis muscle; External obliques muscle; Internal obliques muscle; Pyramidalis muscle
