The video tutorial explains how to activate the transverse abdominis muscle using the hook line position. It guides viewers on locating the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and performing the drawing in maneuver to engage the muscle. The tutorial also covers pursed lip breathing to enhance muscle activation. It discusses the muscle's fiber composition, emphasizing its endurance capabilities and the importance of isometric contractions for strengthening.
