Lower ab exercise
To work the entire stomach area, include lower ab exercises in your workout. These will ensure that you work the whole length of the muscle, maximising the effects of your workout.
Typically people work only the upper part of the muscle - for example with standard crunches - or the obliques, which are activated by twisting movements, but ignore lower ab exercises.
Lower ab exercises work the part of the muscle that attaches to the pubic bone. Good lower ab exercises include:-
Pelvic Tilts
-
Knee Raises
-
Bench Crunches
-
Air Bicycle Crunches (Advanced)
-
Hanging Knee Raises (Advanced)
When performing these exercises it's important to understand that every abdominal exercise works the entire muscle, the different is that some work one area more than another. Those listed above will impact the lower abdominals more than any others.
Of course if you want to see the fruit of your labours, you have to remove the fat that hides the muscles. That comes not from working your stomach area, but from a program of cardio and resistance training combined with good diet.
Only then will you lose the fat that covers your six-pack and reveal the fruits of your labours!
