What are some good abs exercises for lower abs?
Friday, July 23rd, 2010Any abs exercises you know of are helpful but im working specifically on lower abs.
Hey there,
Anything that works your upper abdominals will work your lower ones as they are all the same muscle the "rectus abdominus." But if you really want to target the lower abdominals specifically then any movements that involve lifting your legs really work the lower abs and hip flexor muscles.
The best exercises are:
- Leg raises
- Hanging leg raises
- Reverse crunches
- Scissor kicks
- Hip thrusts
Hope this helps!

What are the best exercises for lower abs?
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010Well I’ve always had that little bump at the bottom of my stomach, and it bothers me so much! Every ab exercise I do just tones out my upper abs, nothing to my lower abs.. In the past I have got an ab lounge but there was no change using that. What are some good exercises to get rid of the extra fat that actually do work?
Leg lifts are good, so are V-ups
Getting a nice set of abs is such a misunderstood process. It’s actually a lot easier than most people think which is why most people are in a never ending quest to get that perfect six pack – it’s because they’re doing all the wrong things.
When you eat more calories than you burn, your body takes those extra calories and stores them as fat somewhere on your body. For some people, the #1 fat storage area is around the thighs and for others it might be around the stomach – it differs from person to person. Sometimes the fat is perfectly distributed around the body so it’s not as big of a concern.
If an excessive amount of fat is stored around your stomach, the reason that you’re not seeing your abs is because your body fat percentage is too high. What you need to do is create a calorie deficit (take in less calories than you burn) so that your body is forced to use its fat stores for energy. After a few weeks of doing this, you’ll notice that your abs will start to show.
You first step is to figure out how many calories you burn each day. Use this calculator http://calorieneedscalculator.com for an estimate. Now you need to increase the amount of calories you burn by exercising more and decreasing the amount of calories you eat. Cut out junk food such as fast food, candy and sugar. Eat foods that are high in fiber: bread and pasta made from 100% whole wheat, brown rice, oats, fruits and vegetables.
You shouldn’t ignore targeting your abs with sit ups, leg raises and twists but doing hundreds of sit ups won’t do anything about the layer of fat that is covering them. Cardio and calorie restriction should be your main focus. If you need more details on getting a six pack, visit The Straight Health Forums – http://forums.straighthealth.com
