Lower Ab Exercise

Finding the greatest lower ab exercise is not a simple thing to do. It can be disappointing to keep trying to work the lower abs if you feel like you are doing it incorrectly.

Before I show you the best lower ab exercise I want to make sure that you know that this routine alone will probably not give you the outcome that you want. They will definitely shape the lower ab but in order for the lower abdominals to be to show through, the following must be done in your routine:

* Cardio – intervals works the best
* Strength Training – you must incorporate all major muscle groups
* Diet – You must expend more calories than you consume
* Other Core exercises – You must train all abdominal muscles as well as the the lower back.

The 3 best lower ab exercise

* Reverse Crunch – This is best performed on a decline bench. Start on your back and use your hands to grab onto the bench. Start with your legs straight out at so they are parallel with the floor. Pull your knees to a 90 degree angle and raise your butt and lower back off the bench. Hold for 1 to 2 seconds and slowly return to the starting position.
* Hanging Leg Raises – This can either be executed hanging from the pull-up bar or using the Abs chair. Start with your legs straight down raise your legs so your feet are at eye level. Try not to bend at the knees. Hold for 1 to 2 seconds and slowly lower your legs. Stop before your legs are straight down so your abs stay fully engaged. This is difficult exercise and starting out you may only be able to bring your knees up.
* Abs Bicycling Modified – This can either be performed on a foam roll or a bench. Place your buttocks to either the end of the bench or foam roll. Either grab onto the bench by your hips or place your hands on the ground for balance. Come up to a crunch position and hold. Bring one knee to your chest. The other leg is going to be straight and actually lower than the rest of your body. This why you need to either be on a bench or form roll. While maintaining the crunch position slowly pull the straight leg to your chest and straighten the other leg to slightly fall below the line of your body.

All three exercises will quickly strengthen your lower abs. Start out slow. Just by doing 10 repetitions of these lower ab exercise you will feel it the next day.
