Anyone know of any good Lower Ab work outs?

Question

As the question says above, does anyone know of any good lower ab workouts? So far I've been doing a lot of Bicycles, Crunches and Quarter Sit - Ups and I just notice the improvement and soreness in my higher abs. Just need some help with some good lower ab workouts, thanks

Answer 1

no such thing as the lower abdominals. the rectus abdominis is a single muscle and muscles either contract as a whole or not at all. because of that you also can not isolate part of a muscle.

the most effective exercise for ANY body part are the ones that utilize the entire range of motion (ROM).

regardless of the abdominal training to "see" the bottom portion of the RA you need to reduce the current level of body fat and the diet ultimately determines the shape of the body. exericse only provides the stimulus to the various muscles

Answer 2

AFTER A WARM UP:

USING AN EXERCISE BALL

V-PIKE PRONE AB CRUNCH (3 SETS OF 10)

• LIE FACE DOWN (PRONE) ON THE BALL WITH YOUR HANDS ON THE FLOOR FOR STABILITY

• BEGIN WITH THE BALL POSITIONED AT THE UPPER THIGH WITH YOUR LEGS EXTENDED

• SLOWLY ROLL THE BALL UNDER YOUR BODY WITH HIPS MOVING UPWARD BRINGING FEET CLOSER TO ARMS

• KEEP LEGS STRAIGHT. ONCE IN A V POSITION, PAUSE AND SLOWLY ROLL BACK TO PRONE



USING AB STRAPS

HANGING LEG RAISES (3 SETS OF 15)

• HANG FROM STRAPS WITH UPPER ARM PARALLEL TO THE GROUND. LEGS ARE EXTENDED.

• BEGIN BY LIFTING KNEES UP TO CHEST, PAUSE AND SLOWLY RETURN TO EXTENSION

• DO NOT SWING. LOWER YOUR LEGS SLOWLY, WITH CONTROL

• THIS EXERCISE CAN ALSO BE DONE WITH A TWIST AS YOU RAISE YOUR LEGS TO WORK THE OBLIQUES



WORKING THE OBLIQUES

SIDE LYING LEG LIFTS ON FLOOR (3 SETS OF 15 ON EACH SIDE)

• START ON THE FLOOR, ON YOUR SIDE; PROP YOURSELF UP ON YOUR ELBOW. KEEP OPPOSITE HAND ON THE FLOOR BEHIND YOU FOR BALANCE.

• WITH LEGS EXTENDED, LIFT BOTH UPPER AND LOWER BODY AT THE SAME TIME, CREATING A SIDE LYING V. LOWER YOUR BODY SLOWLY.

• REPEAT ON THE OTHER SIDE



After this lower ab exercise workout it is a good idea to stretch the low back with a simple knee to chest stretch. Hold each stretch for 30 seconds. It is also a good idea to train your abs last in your workout. To minimize the risk of injury always perform this lower ab exercise workout at the very end of your exercise session.
