Major Muscle Groups
core muscles
Major muscles included are the pelvic floor muscles, transversus abdominis, multifidus, internal and external obliques, rectus abdominis, erector spinae (sacrospinalis) especially the longissimus thoracis, and the diaphragm. Minor core muscles include the latissimus dorsi, gluteus maximus, and trapezius.
Quadriceps group
Quadriceps femoris muscle, large fleshy muscle group covering the front and sides of the thigh. It has four parts: rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius. These muscles extend the legs at the knee and are important for standing, walking, and almost all activities involving the legs.
biceps brachii
The biceps brachii muscle (biceps) is a large, thick muscle of the upper arm consisting of two heads.
Obliques
The external abdominal obliques are a pair of broad, thin, superficial muscles that lie on the lateral sides of the abdominal region of the body.
Gluteal muscles
The gluteal muscles are a group of three muscles which make up the buttocks: the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. The three muscles originate from the ilium and sacrum and insert on the femur.
Hamstring group
The hamstring muscle group helps you extend your leg straight back and bend your knee.
Latissimus Dorsi (Lats)
The latissimus dorsi is responsible for extension, adduction, transverse extension also known as horizontal abduction, flexion from an extended position, and (medial) internal rotation of the shoulder joint.
Pectoralis Major & Minor
The pectoralis major muscle is a large muscle in the upper chest, fanning across the chest from the shoulder to the breastbone. The two pectoralis major muscles, commonly referred to as the 'pecs
Rectus abdominis
The rectus abdominis muscles, commonly referred to as the "abs," are a pair of long, flat muscles that extend vertically along the entire length of the abdomen adjacent to the umbilicus.
sartorius
The sartorius muscle is the longest muscle in the entire human body. The sartorius muscle arises from the anterior superior iliac spine on the lateral edge of the hip bone.
Trapezius
The trapezius muscle is a postural and active movement muscle, used to tilt and turn the head and neck, shrug, steady the shoulders, and twist the arms. The trapezius elevates, depresses, rotates, and retracts the scapula, or shoulder blade.
Triceps
The triceps is an extensor muscle of the elbow joint and an antagonist of the biceps and brachialis muscles. It can also fixate the elbow joint when the forearm and hand are used for fine movements,
Soleus
a broad muscle in the lower calf, below the gastrocnemius, that flexes the foot to point the toes downward.
Deltoid
a rounded, triangular muscle located on the uppermost part of the arm and the top of the shoulder.
Gastrocnemius
the gastrocnemius forms half of the calf muscle. Its function is plantar flexing the foot at the ankle joint and flexing the leg at the knee joint.
