Lower Abdominal Workouts – How to workout your lower abs
Lower abs workouts target an area that is often neglected, your lower abs. This is where the unsightly belly bulge looms, and love handles appear. When people complain about their lower abs, it is usually fat that they are referring to. In order to lose fat in that area, you need to lose fat all over your body. This is how basic fat loss works.
Here are a few exercises to help you uncover and tighten your lower abdominal muscles.
Alternating Supine Leg Walks/Leg Lifts
To start, lie on your back with both hands under your buttocks. Lift your legs so they are vertical. Tighten your abdominals so your midsection is stressed.
For Alternating Leg Walks, lower one leg until your foot is a few inches off the ground. Hold on for a few seconds and return that leg to the start position (vertical). Switch the leg you lower.
For Leg lifts, lower both legs so that the back of your feet are just above the ground, hold for a few seconds and return to the vertical position.
Scissors
To start this workout you need to lie on your back with your hands under your buttocks. Tighten both your lower abs and leg muscles, lifting your legs to about two feet off of the floor. Do not bend your knees and cross your right leg over your left leg. Open your legs back and cross your left leg over the right one. This is the scissor action. Repeat this 8 to 10 times, eventually building up to 15 times as your strength permits.
Double Leg Circles
Lie on your back with your hands under your buttocks. Lift both legs a few inches off the floor, rotating them in circles. Complete five circles in a clockwise direction and lower your legs to the floor for a few seconds. Raise your legs again and do five circles in an anti-clockwise direction. With time, increase up to 10 to 15 circles.
These simple lower abs workouts will help do the trick.
