3 Killer Tips For Rock Hard Lower Abs

When it comes to training your lower abs you will find this area the hardest to develop. You might be able to develop upper abdominals with a solid workout routine but your lower abs are mostly left untrained. If your holy grail is to have toned six pack abs then the tips laid out in this article are just for you.


1) Spot Reduction Myth When it comes to seeing defined six pack abs it is ultra important that you have a low enough body fat percentage. If your body fat percentage is too high all the exercise in the world won't make any difference because your six pack is hidden under a layer of fat. Most people seem to think that they can remove lower abdominal fat by doing specific lower abs exercises, unfortunately this alone is not enough for you.


2) Sit-ups or crunches are not the best way to get six pack abs A popular (yet untrue) belief is that you have to do a lot of crunches and sit-ups to train the lower abs, this isn't true. Sit-ups are the most popular exercise when it comes to training the abs but they are not an abs exercise. The same applies for ab crunches. It doesn't mean that you shouldn't do these exercises but do at least some effective ab exercises such as the reverse crunch.


3) Do Targeted Effective Lower Ab exercises There are some highly effective exercises to train the lower abs Swiss ball exercises in particular are a great way to really target the desired area. Here are a few other exercises for you to have strong lower abs.


- The hanging knee raise


- Lying Down scissors.


- The jacknife sit-up.


You can have the best intentions in the world when it comes to your ab workouts. The problem is that unless you combine the correct exercises that target the right area with the right nutrition and diet you are not going to achieve the right results.
