Lower Ab Exercises - The Perfect Lower Ab Workout!

Lower Ab Exercises - The Perfect Lower Ab Workout!

The illusive lower ab exercises. It is funny how many people complain that the lower abdominal muscles are the hardest to work out yet so many people I talk to are completely lacking on their lower ab workout.

Our sedentary lifestyle has caused many of us to rely more on our upper abs and lower back than our lower abdominal muscles or our entire core to function. This is because sitting down all day does not engage the lower part of our stomach muscles regardless of how straight you try to keep your back while sitting.

Try to do high knees for a minute. Stand up straight and in one spot and lift your right knee to your chest, put it down and then do the same for your left knee. If you do it correctly, you'll start to notice the burning in your lower abdominals. This is the feeling we want for any lower ab exercise we do!

I had that same exact problem! I thought all I had to do was sit ups galore and eventually viola! My lower abs would be worked just as well as my upper abs.

However, once I started to notice that my upper abdominal muscles were getting a lot more ripped and that my lower belly fat still stuck out, I sought my trainer for advice.

He told me that the abdominal muscles are not just one solid muscle and that there are upper ab exercises as well as a lower ab workout!

With this in mind, I was introduced to a few key exercises that really helped my lower belly fat problem...

Jackknives - Laying flat on my back with my arms pointing straight above my head and my toes pointing away from me I would lift my legs so that they were near perpendicular with the ground and then try to touch my toes while keeping my back straight as possible.

Sicilian Sit Ups - I'd perform a sit up as normal but would extend my arms straight over head almost as if I was reaching for something directly above my head once I reached the top of the sit up.

Hanging leg raises - This is the only of the lower ab exercises that required a pull up bar. I'd simply hang from the bar and try to form an "L" with my legs and my body, return to normal and try again. There are some people who use hanging ab straps for this but I prefer to free hang as it feels like I work my abs more!

These three simple exercises helped me get started on my lower ab exercises that really helped me to lose belly fat once I combined them with a great diet and the perfect workout routine. The best thing is, this lower ab workout can be done at home!
