							Best Lower Ab Workout - Lower Abdominal Exercises
It is practically everyone's dream to get that sexy, flat-as-a-plank abdomen, yet it can often appear one of the hardest parts of the body to shed pounds
in.


The abs are a particular set of muscles, comprising of the upper, lower and oblique muscles, which work in sync with each other in order to help
flexibleness and movement between the upper part of the body and the lower part below the hips.


Double Leg Lifts : Lie down on your back, with your hands placed under your butt, with the palms facing the floor. Then, contracting your lower
abdominal muscles, and tightening the muscles of your legs, lift them straight up vertically, and hold them there for some seconds. Then lower them
down until they are a few inches off the floor, and hold it there again for 1 or 2 seconds. Repeat 5-8 times to begin with. Later, as you are feeling your
abs getting stronger, increase the reps to 15-20 times. Then, as you get even stronger, you can lift your head and shoulders off the floor while
performing the leg lifts.


Alternating Leg Walks : Begin by lying on your back, placing your hands under your butt, and take a few deep breaths. Then, contract the lower ab
muscles and lift your right leg up slowly, till it is 90 degrees to your body. The, similarly slowly, lower it back down, till it is a few inches off the floor,
while at the same time raising your left leg. Keep lifting your legs alternatively about 8-10 times to begin with. Later, as your abs become stronger, you
can increase the count to 15-20 times. And, as in the prior one, lift your head and shoulders off the floor while performing the exercise.


Double Leg Reverse Crunches : Lie down on your back, with your hands under your butt. Lift both your legs up till they're in a vertical position. Now
bend your legs at the knees, so that the lower part is parallel to the floor. Then, contracting your lower abs, and working on your bent knees,
continuously lower your legs till the soles of your feet are just 2 inches off the floor. Keep your abs contracted and hold this position for 1 or 2 seconds.
Then augmenting the contraction in your abs, lift your knees up again, bringing them towards your chest.


This is a somewhat challenging exercise, so begin by doing just 3-5 reps. Later, as you are feeling yourself getting stronger, increase the reps
gradually, until you can do 15-20 reps.
