What is a good LOWER abdominal workout?!
Question: I don't want to hear about diet.
I want to know an excercise that works mainly the lowest section of the abs.
Thanks.

I have struggled with this for awhile and finally found some things that work!
1) Lay on your back with your knees bent at 90 degree angles and feet off the floor. Slowly lower your legs, still bent, so your feet almost touch the floor. Then raise them again. Repeat this as many times as necessary to feel a burn.
2) If you have a large exercise ball, lay on it so that your lower back is on top of it. (Your upper body should be leaning far backward). Do regular crunches like this, and you should feel more of a burn than if you were just laying on the floor.
3) If you don't have a ball, do the same as ^ but with your upper body leaning off a bed. Any crunches where your upper body is lower than your lower body (like leaning backward) will target the lower abs.
Good luck!
lay down on your back flat on a mat or stable flat surface. slowly lift your feet up wards towards the ceiling until your legs make a 90 degree angle. remember, you are not bending your legs. they remain striaght thewhole time. slowly lower your legs also keeping them stright. you should feel tension in your lower abs.
ummm....
honestly, crunches work great for me.
and do the plank.
and leg lifts.
stuff like that.
1. Alternating Supine Leg Walks
Start off by laying on your back with your hands under your buttocks. Lift your legs so they are vertical. Contract your abs so your midsection is tense.
Then, lower 1 leg so your foot is a few inches from the ground. Hold there for about 1 second, then return that leg to the starting position. Alternate which leg you lower.
Try a reps and really try to feel the lower abs working.
2. Supine Reverse Crunches
Start off by laying on your back with your hands under your buttocks. Lift your legs so they are vertical, then bend your knees at a 90 degree angle. Contract your abs so your midsection is tense.
Keeping your knees bent at the same angle, slowly lower them until the back of your feet are a few inches above the ground. Then, bring your knees up towards your chest and really squeeze your abs while doing this.
Repeat.
3. Leg Lifts
Start off by laying on your back with your hands under your buttocks. Lift your legs so they are vertical.
Contract your midsection by engaging the upper abs.
Then, lower both legs so that the back of your feet are right above the ground. After holding that position for a few second, return your legs to the vertical position.
Repeat.
All three of those exercises are part of getting the best lower ab workout possible. If you have any lower back problems at all, you should not hesitate to see a doctor for exercise advice. Now you know the basic components of having one of the best lower ab workouts. Remember your safety comes first!
Good luck, and remember to keep learning and stay persistent =)
I thought sit ups but my niece who is trained in ballet says jumping on the spot is better for you. But no need to jump high.
Best one for me tonight was when I had my question about my drawing deleted.
Not really bothered, but it is nice when you can give good rate or award best answer to those who have kindly taken the time to give you an answer. Thank you!!!
