Losing weight and exercising but wondering if anyone can recommend a good stomach exercise. My abs are improving nicely (from belly button up over ribs) but the lower tummy muscles (belly button down to hips) isn't changing. The fat layer is going away but I can't see or feel any difference in muscle tone or strength - anyway to target this area more?

Lying on your back, raise your legs about six inches of the ground and hold them for a count of 30. Then slowly lower them, repeat exercise for about 20 goes, work up gradually until you can do more. Prepare for a pulling feeling in your lower abdomen the next day if you are not used to them Good luck.

I heard/read somewhere that any tummy exercises affect the entire abdominal area. Maybe it is just taking a little bit longer for them to tone. The leg raising exercise that Dee Cee is talking about works great.

Persons will inform you sit united states of americabut I feel what is far more amazing is to get into a pushup role. Instead of being in your arms have your elbow to your fingers on the ground. Preserve that function for 20 seconds and then lessen your right knee to the floor. Maintain for one second, pull back up and do the identical with your left knee. Continue doing this and you'll consider the burn low within the stomach area.

This trick worked well for me. You need a helper. Lie on your back. The other person stands at your head, and you raise your feet to them. They then decide when to forcefully push you legs away. you have to stop them hitting the ground! Great fun and laughs galore, with the added bonus that you dont know when it'll happen, as its up to the other person. Try it, you'll feel the difference.

lie flat on your back, knees bent and feet flat on the floor, breathe in, breathe out, when breathing out pull your lower tummy muscles in as far as you can hold for 5 then release, do this for 5-10 mins a day twice a day, you will notice a difference pretty soon.
