What is the best way to tone my lower abs?

Answer 1

1. lay on your back with you legs towards the ceiling and slowly lower your legs towards the floor as you exhale, then raise them back up as you inhale... keep your arms at your sides and your low back pressed down... do not put your hands under your bottom, then your low back does the work and your abs do nothing. this works the lower rectus abdominis which is the "6 pack".
2. lay on your back holding your knees to your chest, as you exhale slowly extend your arms and legs out, so if someone where watching you, you would be making a U shape... the lower your legs are the more you'll work your abs... keep your low back pressed to the floor... pull your arms and legs back in as you inhale. this works nearly all your ab muscles at once as a unit to create a taute streamlined middle.
3. lay on your back with your arms at your side and use your right hand to reach towards your right ankle down the side of your body, repeat on left ... it's a side ways crunch and GREAT for the waist.
4. sit up, tilt your upper body back to 45 degrees... bring your legs up and hold them out to 45 degrees so you make a V shape and hold as you inhale and exhale slowly. bend your knees a bit if you need it less intense... this is great for the transferse abdominis which is what holds in your organs and digestive tract to give you a flat stomach.
5. lay on your back with your heels close to your butt. now squeeze and tighten everything from your thighs to your armpits.. inner thighs, outer thighs, buns, all your abs.... as you tighten your body will pull up into a "bridge pose". make sure your body weight is on the heels of your feet and your shoulder blades... never ever let the weight rest on the back of your neck or head. hold for one breath and roll down to starting position. this works the entire core as one unit to create a strong streamlined look.

One of the videos I have used in the past that I had a lot of excellent results with was Jane Fonda's Lower Body Workout and Super Body Sculpt by The Firm. I know Jane is an oldy...but it was effective! And you sculpt at the same time. Walking is also good all over cardio and riding a bike. Swimming is good exrecise for all over..not just abs.

Diet also helps. Following a 40-30-30 plan where 40% of calories come from Low Glycemic Carbs, 30% Good Fats and 30% Lean Protiens.

Answer 3

You can use an ab crunch machine. Set the weights higher every week. Or do a bunch of sit ups.

Answer 4

if there is fat there, no crunches are gonna help, sad but true. how many people have pot bellies & spend all that time crunching like crazy & they just need to count calories & if cal IN is less than cal OUT all that fat will melt away in time.

a good guide is your GOAL weight x 10 = calories/day.

Answer 5

A Million sit ups a day!!
