How to read this ranking
This page lists only exercises whose primary muscle field names abdominals. Tagged-inventory counts on the muscle hub can be higher because secondary tags count too. Derived ranks are labeled as our analysis; raw source counts live on each exercise record.
Where the upstream file omits a field, the exercise page says so, we do not estimate missing values. See the corrections process to report a mismatch.
Every figure on PlainExercise is compiled from public exercise-science and biomechanics references, no number is typed in by an editor. Muscle step-count ranks are computed from live SQL on the exercise table, no editor typed the order. See our editorial standards & corrections policy, the methodology & changelog, or report a data error.
