One of the hardest areas to target during a workout is the lower abs. So many exercises work the top and sides of our abs, but the biggest problem area tends to be that lower tummy section. I have put together a list of my six favorite moves to target this area. Do them alone of pair them with the waist-whittling ab exercises for a total ab workout!
Reverse Crunches: Start out on your back with legs bent to 90 degrees. Roll up and curl your hips off the ground. Roll back down. Repeat x20.
V sits: Sit on your booty with your hands by your hips and knees bent. Extend your legs out straight and lean back. Crunch back up. Repeat x20.
Double Leg Lifts: Lie on your back with your hands by your sides. Raise both legs up into the air. Slowly lower down, hovering just above the ground. Lift legs back up. Repeat x15.
Single Leg Lifts: Lie on your back with your hands by your sides. Raise both legs up into the air. Bring one leg down, hovering just above the ground. Reverse. Repeat x20.
Single-Leg Plank Crunch: Start out in plank position with one leg raised off the ground. Bend at your hips and raise your booty to the sky as you crunch your leg in towards your nose. Repeat x15. Switch legs and repeat x15.
Roll-Ups: Lie on your back with your arms above your head. Very slowly, lift up and roll your body into a seated position, then reach forward towards your toes. Slowly roll back down and place your arms back above your head. Repeat x10. (You can also hold a medicine ball during this exercise for added resistance).
