Lower Abs

bull_dawg67 · 12-17-2007, 11:16 PM

My coach makes us do the same ol ab exercises all day long. My upper abs are tight but my lower ones are still kinda soft. What specific workouts can I do at home to hone in on this area?

Leg Lifts

Reverse Crunches
Start off by laying on your back with your hands under you. Lift your legs so they are upright, then bend your knees at to 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.

leg raises, just like my bro said above me, lay down make a diamond with your hands on your lower back for back support and raise your legs stiff up and down.

Mmmm, suspended leg lifts. Basically the same idea as the leg raises or reverse crunches except you do it on a dip station, lifting your legs straight out and you can add some weights along your legs with a belt strap :).

Taco Bell is so cheap and delicious.

Plus if you are on a high protein diet, taco bell helps out the digestive track every once in a while.
