From the Daily Telegraph:
No longer is a six-pack enough. Personal trainers are under siege as clients of both sexes clamour for a new look – just like that increasingly sported by sports stars and celebrities. Everyone, it seems, wants a 'Victory V'; the defining muscular lines that run from just above the hip bone at an angle in and down towards the groin, and which are tantalisingly visible above bikini bottoms or low-slung board shorts.
V lines are the edge of toned-to-the-max transversus abdominis (TVA) muscles; deep-lying fibres that run horizontally across the abdomen from the sides of the rib cage to the front (rectus abdominus) muscle, which runs down the abdomen. Part of our core musculature, TVA muscles compress and support the contents of the abdomen like a girdle, help us breathe (by supporting the diaphragm) and take the weight of the ribs and back, when we stretch or bend over. A strong core helps prevent backache, as well as making us supple. In the super-toned body, the V lines are made highly visible because of the way flesh appears to have been sculpted away from behind.
Well, look at the Victory V on her. Gold.
