Lower Stomach Exercises

While is a global disease to concentrate on just crunches, people have to be aware that they only work the upper ab area. It is equally important to work on your lower stomach to be able to look fitter.

If you want to see the results of your lower stomach exercises, you need to do one thing: lower your fat percentage levels thanks to a healthy diet and a cardio program you enjoy. Forget about this point, and you'll keep your stomach muscles hidden under a cover of fat. These are some of the best exercises to reduce stomach 

Also, don't think you can do exercises to lower fat on that specific area. This is called spot toning, and is nothing but a perpetuated myth.

The amount of fat on the lower stomach area varies from individual to individual. Different people localize fat in different areas. So you might look skinny but with a bulge on the stomach because of your genetic disposition.

Well, now let's get to the best lower stomach exercises to work the lower abs:

Reverse Crunches

A reverse crunch is an exercise that targets the lower muscles in your stomach. This exercise must be performed correctly and I recommend doing it on an exercise mat as it helps relieving stress in the lower back.

Lie on your back and lift your legs so they are perpendicular to the floor, with your knees bent a little and legs crossed at the ankles.

Put your arms on your sides, resting on the floor.

Keep your shoulders relaxed, rest your head on the floor nicely while keeping the back straight at all times. Now lift your hips off the ground and push them towards the ceiling.

Hold, hold, hold now slowly bring yourself to the initial position.    Office Leg Lifts

This is another great lower ab workout, and it has a major advantage: you can do it while sitting in your office!

Sit on a chair with your back flat against its back.

Put your hands on the desk and lift your legs off the ground, hold the contraction for 10 seconds.

Slowly and with muscle control, take your legs back the floor.

Repeat as many times as you want, but don't overdo it. It is better if you increase the repetitions gradually.
