<p><span class="drop_cap"> E</span>veryone is looking for ways to tighten lower abs. It is probably one of the hardest (if not THE hardest) muscle groups to reach. It’s that stubborn little pooch women usually complain about; that extra flab of fat that keep men from buttoning their pants effortlessly.</p>
<p>I’ll tell you, it is difficult to zero in on your lower abs. I personally have had to struggle with that area for years. When I learned that cortisol, a hormone released by the body when it is under a lot of stress, contributed to the build-up of fat around that area, it really didn’t help me at all either. That just doubled the stress right there.</p>
<p class="cta"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sixpackabsguide.com/1/1286">Click here and find out how to tighten lower abs!</a></p>
<p>How does one tighten lower abs then, you ask? The best way to get your lower abs to look like they’ve gone to abdominal boot camp is by <strong>(1) LOSING OVERALL BODY WEIGHT</strong>. That would be your primary goal here.</p>
<p>Targeted abs exercises won’t be enough, I tell you. Once you get your total body fat to a minimum, things will get much easier, you’ll see.</p>
<p>If you know what your total body fat percentage is you’ll know how much fat you’ll need to burn in the process. In this case, like in many others, knowledge is power.</p>
<p>You can start to tighten lower abs by <strong>(2) FORMING GOOD EATING HABITS</strong>. Eliminating excessively fatty foods from your diet, cutting down on highly processed foods, and taking alcoholic drinks sparingly can do you more good than you can imagine. Sticking to a well-rounded diet that’s loaded with whole grains, fresh fruits, colorful veggies, and lean meats will definitely set the motion toward a healthier, more fit you.</p>
<p><strong>(3) CREATING A HOLISTIC EXERCISE PLAN</strong> that you can live with and, eventually, crank up as you progress is necessary for you to achieve your general goal – a completely toned set of lower abs.</p>
<p>Perform cardiovascular exercises 3-5 times a week for at least half an hour. Mix it up so you don’t get bored. One day you can head out and run a few blocks, in two days you can do some laps in the pool.</p>
<p>If you want to tighten lower abs, you must get your entire body moving and your blood pumping. With high spirits and endorphins swimming in your blood stream, there’s really no stopping you from achieving your goal.</p>
<p>What’s a successful ab workout program without <strong>(4) EXECUTING WIDE-RANGE AND SPECIFIC LOWER AB EXERCISES</strong>? There are quite a few options to choose from, but here are some exercises that you can check out:</p>
<ul>
<li>Exercise Ball Ab Crunches</li>
<li>Reverse Abdominal Leg Crunches</li>
<li>Hanging Leg Raises</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>(5)STAYING MOTIVATED AND FOLLOWING THROUGH</strong> is crucial, especially when things start to feel repetitive and bland. Involving friends and family members can get you that extra support you need to follow through, even after you’ve attained ripped lower abs.</p>
<p>True enough, keeping these five important points in mind while working to tighten lower abs can only get you fast results.</p>

<p>Some people will tell you that there are separate upper and lower abdominal muscles. This is technically not correct. Your abdominal muscle, the rectis abdominis, is a group of muscles that are all connected to each other.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s just one part of the whole story.</p>
<p>So, does targeting your upper and lower abs separately make a difference? Can you really exercise for lower abs?</p>
<p>Well, the jury&#8217;s still out on that one. But, scientific studies have shown that some workouts work your lower abs better than others, while some are better suited for developing the upper abs.</p>
<p>As far as exercise for lower abs goes, scientists at the University of Nebraska deduced that the reverse curl causes the greatest amount of activity in the lower abdominal region, while movements such as the trunk curl and twist curl seem to target the upper abdominals more effectively.</p>
<p>However, an interesting thing to note is that, according to recent physical therapy research, only some people actually have a distinctly separate lower abdominal muscle, called the pyramidalis. This means that lower abdominal targeting may only be effective for people who have this optional muscle &#8211; about 80% of people.</p>
<p>Most fitness experts do not recommend doing anything special to target the lower abdominals, but, instead, alternating between different types of movements that work the midsection. This should ensure a proper workout of all of the abdominal muscles that you DO have.</p>
<p>Great exercise for lower abs can be any of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li> Curls</li>
<li> Crunches</li>
<li> Bicycles</li>
<li> Sit Ups</li>
</ul>
<p>Of course, the discussion of upper and lower abs and who has them and whether they should be targeted obscures the advice that fitness specialists have been giving us for years.</p>
<p>Ab targeting is still an important consideration, but not quite as important as proper diet.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter how much you work your abs if they&#8217;re covered in fat. Following a low fat diet and performing regular cardio workouts, such as walking or running is the most important part of any ab training routine. With this added to your fitness regimen, the fat will be melting right off of your belly.</p>
<p>So, eat right, stay fit, and perform a regular exercise for lower abs. Keep it up, and keep at it. Soon you&#8217;ll be stronger, healthier, and have abs that will make people stare, in a good way.</p>

<p><span class="drop_cap"> I</span>f you want flatter lower abs, you should know that your upper abs and lower abs require different exercises if you are building muscles, but not if you&#8217;re just toning them.</p>
<p>If you are looking to just tone muscles, then any good group of exercises aimed at the abdominals will deliver the results you need. Of course, you have to do them properly.</p>
<p class="cta"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sixpackabsguide.com/1/1061">Click Here for the Best Way to Get Flatter Lower Abs Safely!</a></p>
<p>Also, doing too many, too soon, is not a good idea. Avoid straining, especially the neck and lower back. You can permanently injure your spine if you aren&#8217;t careful.</p>
<p>Body building can be quite different from normal exercising. Building aims at isolating the upper and lower abdominals causing development in different areas.</p>
<p>However, some instructors caution against too much lower ab concentration. They claim that this, also, is a formula for back fatigue and strain, and it doesn&#8217;t give you enough isolation to make a difference in specific muscle definition.</p>
<p>The following are some good general low-impact exercises for the abs, which are easy on the lower back and spine.</p>
<h3>1. Easy Lower Ab Exercise #1</h3>
<p>Sit with your legs extended out to the width of your shoulders. Keep feet pointed up and arms out to your sides, at chest level. Tuck in your abdominals and lean to touch each foot, using the opposite arm, one at a time.</p>
<h3>2. Easy Lower ab Exercise #2</h3>
<p>Sit with your legs extended in front of you, about your hip width apart. Your toes should point up and keep your knees slightly bent. Pull your abdominals in towards your back. Extend your arms in front of you at chest level, as if you were sliding your arms across a smooth surface. Keep your shoulders relaxed.</p>
<h3>3. Easy Lower Ab Exercise #3</h3>
<p>Sit on floor with legs bent to the left, right foot near left knee, in a comfortable position. Hold your left shin with left hand, and extend right arm overhead. Look up to the right and gently stretch to the left. Switch sides and repeat the exercise. This is a Yoga move.</p>
<p>If you are body building and need to specifically target the lower abs, here is an excellent exercise, guaranteed to give you results:</p>
<ol>
<li>Lay on the ground, legs straight, with hands tucked under your bottom.</li>
<li>Tighten abdominal muscles. Keep head and lower back on the floor.</li>
<li>Raise your legs arcing back to a 90 angle, making an &#8220;L&#8221; shape of your body. Try not to lock your knees. Focus on your ab muscles, instead.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t raise your back off the floor. Lower the legs slowly and repeat.</li>
<li>As you gain strength in those abs, you can stop just before your feet touch the floor and do it again.</li>
</ol>
<p>These will all work to give you flatter lower abs, and they won&#8217;t hurt your neck or lower back. Remember, safety should be the first consideration in your workout routine.</p>

<p><span class="drop_cap"> W</span>hat is the best exercise for lower abdominals? I’ll tell you right now, the secret doesn’t lie on the “what.” Instead, you should be asking yourself this: “HOW can I maximize my lower abdominals workout so I could get six pack abs fast?”</p>
<p>The physical fitness industry rakes in so much money, it’s not even funny. Why? Because people like you and me will do almost anything we can to look good, and that includes spending money on gym memberships, dietary supplements, workout tools, and exercise equipment.</p>
<p class="cta"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sixpackabsguide.com/1/1138">Click here and get your lowers abs into shape!</a></p>
<p>You’ve probably been so focused on your midsection that you’ve neglected other parts of your body. Any successful fitness goal – whether it’s building upper arm muscles or, in this case, toning the abdominal muscles – requires you to work your WHOLE body. That’s why some abdominal workout equipments don’t give the best results when used alone.</p>
<p>A complete fitness plan cannot only involve the best exercise for lower abdominals. To ensure well-rounded progress, you need to integrate all three aspects:</p>
<p><strong>1. Low-fat diet;</strong></p>
<p><strong>2. Regular cardiovascular exercise; and</strong></p>
<p><strong>3. Core-specific exercises.</strong></p>
<p>The way you eat will always affect the way you look and feel. If you exercise but eat fatty foods and neglect the essential nutrients your body needs to build muscle, you’re only setting yourself up for failure. This is why a low-fat, healthy diet is very important.</p>
<p>Eliminate or at least limit your intake of unnecessary carbs and fats. Instead, pack your diet with vegetables, fruits, lean meats, and whole grains. Stop obsessing about the best exercise for lower abdominals for a second and think about eating frequent yet small and healthy meals.</p>
<p>It is a fact that following a low-fat, low-carb diet alone is also not enough. You need to work out 3 times a week for about 45 minutes to an hour for you to increase your metabolic rate and, ultimately, build muscle.</p>
<p>Cardiovascular workouts, such as jogging and swimming, are vital to a complete fitness plan. I, myself, pop in a fitness video and workout from home if the weather isn’t ideal. You can easily do the same.</p>
<p>After considering your diet and your cardio workout, you are now ready to put those abdominal muscles to work. What then is the best exercise for lower abdominals?</p>
<p>Leg raises have been tried and tested by people from all walks of life. It’s very simple to do AND you can get so much out of it; it’s unbelievable.</p>
<p>All you need to do is lie flat on the floor, place your hands on each side, and raise both legs gradually until you reach a 45 degree angle. Then, lower your legs back down to your original position. Remember to tighten your abdominal muscles all through out the exercise.</p>
<p>To add a little variation, you can either push upward with your hips when your legs are completely perpendicular to the floor, or grip a ball in between your shins as you perform those raises.</p>

<p class="cta"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sixpackabsguide.com/1/2001">Click here for great lower abs workouts!</a></p>
<p>If you want to get great lower abs, you just need to learn the answers to these three questions:</p>
<ul>
<li>How do I work my abs?</li>
<li> How can I choose the right foods for exercising?</li>
<li> How can I ensure a good cardio workout?</li>
</ul>
<p>One thing to know is that your abdominals are a connected group of muscles, not distinct muscles as commonly thought.</p>
<p>Some experts believe that, because of this, there isn&#8217;t much reason for training a specific part of the abs. This may be true, but there are some exercises that have been scientifically proven to target the lower abdominals effectively.</p>
<p>Which are they?</p>
<ul>
<li>Curls</li>
<li>Crunches</li>
<li>Bicycles</li>
<li>Knee to Chest Stretch</li>
</ul>
<p>Knowledge is half the battle, but being able to do them is the other half. All of these can be done in your own home, so here&#8217;s how to do them.</p>
<h3>How to do a Curl</h3>
<p>Lie flat on the floor, bend your knees and plant your feet. Put both of your hands on your abdomen. Push your lower back against the floor while you tense your abs. Curl your body, slowly raising your head and shoulders toward your knees. Gently uncurl yourself slowly back to the floor.</p>
<h3>How to do a Crunch</h3>
<p>Lie down on the floor. Bend your knees and place your hands across your chest. Contract your abdominal muscles. Bring your shoulder blades up off of the floor several inches while bringing your knees up at the same time. Hold this position for a few seconds and then lower yourself.</p>
<h3>How to do a Bicycle</h3>
<p>Lie flat on the floor. Rest your hands up next to your head and bring your knees halfway up. Begin a bicycling motion with your legs. Alternate between touching your left elbow to your right knee and your right elbow to your left knee and repeat.</p>
<h3>How to do the Knee to Chest Stretch</h3>
<p>Lie down and bend your knees and keep your feet flat, just like a curl. Pull one of your knees as close to your chest as is comfortable, you can use your hands if you need to. Keep that position for about ten seconds. Slowly lower your knee, and put your foot back on the floor. Repeat with your other knee. Rest for a moment and then repeat the exercise.</p>
<p>Try each of these on alternating days of the week, and don&#8217;t worry if you miss a day here and there. Complete 5 to 10 of each, and when that&#8217;s a breeze, try a few more. Go as slowly as you need to &#8211; rushing could lead to injury.</p>
<p>A healthy, low fat diet is an important part of the fitness process. Eat plenty of whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and lean proteins. Avoid fatty foods and processed grains.</p>
<p>A good cardio workout is just as important as lower abs workouts. Walking, bicycle riding, running, jogging, and aerobics are all great cardio exercises which will make your body respond better to the other, targeted, ab exercises.</p>
<p>A complete exercise program has many elements to it. Eat the right foods, do regular cardio workouts, and targeted lower abs workouts. Sooner than later, you will have the abs you want.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Some experts debate the benefits of exercise for the lower abs. Does everybody have lower abs? And can you really target them? These questions are simple and common enough, but the answers may surprise you.</p>
<p>1. How many ab muscles do you have?<br />
 2. Can you target them?<br />
 3. Does it work?</p>
<p>Some people will tell you that there are separate upper and lower abdominal muscles. This is technically not correct. Your abdominal muscle, the rectis abdominis, is a group of muscles that are all connected to each other.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s just one part of the whole story.</p>
<p>So, does targeting your upper and lower abs separately make a difference?</p>
<p>Well, the jury&#8217;s still out on that one. But, scientific studies have shown that some workouts work your lower abs better than others, while some are better suited for developing the upper abs.</p>
<p>Scientists at the University of Nebraska deduced that the reverse curl causes the greatest amount of activity in the lower abdominal region, while movements such as the trunk curl and twist curl seem to target the upper abdominals more effectively.</p>
<p>However, an interesting thing to note is that, according to recent physical therapy research, only some people actually have a distinctly separate lower abdominal muscle, called the pyramidalis. This means that lower abdominal targeting may only be effective for people who have this optional muscle &#8211; about 80% of people.</p>
<p>Most fitness experts do not recommend doing anything special to target the lower abdominals, but, instead, alternating between different types of movements that work the midsection. This should ensure a proper workout of all of the abdominal muscles that you DO have.</p>
<p>Great excercise for lower abs can be any of the following:<br />
 * Curls<br />
 * Crunches<br />
 * Bicycles<br />
 * Sit Ups</p>
<p>Of course, the discussion of upper and lower abs and who has them and whether they should be targeted obscures the advice that fitness specialists have been giving us for years.</p>
<p>Ab targeting is still an important consideration, but not quite as important as proper diet.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter how much you work your abs if they&#8217;re covered in fat. Following a low fat diet and performing regular cardio workouts, such as walking or running is the most important part of any ab training routine. With this added to your fitness regimen, the fat will be melting right off of your belly.</p>
<p>So, eat right, stay fit, and perform a regular excercise for lower abs. Keep it up, and keep at it. Soon you&#8217;ll be stronger, healthier, and have abs that will make people stare, in a good way.</p>

<p><span class="drop_cap"> P</span>eople come up to me all the time and tell me how hard it is for them to build lower abs. As I probed into their fitness regimen, I learned they all had one common mistake – they’ve got the abdominal exercises down, but they either leave out the cardio or neglect to eat the right kinds of food.</p>
<p>Any successful fitness plan would involve working the whole body and not just your abs. Also, exercising your butt off is never enough; eating healthy plays a big part as well.</p>
<p class="cta"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sixpackabsguide.com/1/1369">Click here and start building lower abs!</a></p>
<p>You can have all the workout equipment on the planet, hire the best trainers, join all the prestigious gyms, and still not build lower abs if you don’t include ALL 3 steps in your exercise plan:</p>
<ol>
<li>Follow a low fat diet;</li>
<li>Perform regular cardiovascular exercise; and</li>
<li>Execute targeted lower abs exercises.</li>
</ol>
<p>Doing one without the other two will do you some good. But that wouldn’t be enough, would it. Imagine what you can achieve when you do all three.</p>
<p>Cutting down on your fat intake will allow your body to burn stored body fat. Before your muscles appear to be cut and well-defined, you need to get rid of the layers of fat that are covering them.</p>
<p>To build lower abs effectively, include a lot of whole grains, lean meats, and a few good fats in your meals. Here are some food items that you can stock up on the next time you go to the supermarket:</p>
<ul>
<li>Leafy greens</li>
<li>Colorful veggies (e.g. carrots,      peas, cauliflower, bell peppers, asparagus)</li>
<li>Brown rice</li>
<li>Tofu</li>
<li>Fresh fruits (e.g. berries,      apples, bananas, oranges)</li>
<li>Beans</li>
<li>Nuts</li>
</ul>
<p>Stay away from fatty, processed, and starchy foods; they can only set you back from your goal. Here are some things you must avoid in your diet:</p>
<ul>
<li>Junk food</li>
<li>Deep-fried foods</li>
<li>Soda</li>
<li>Candy</li>
<li>Beer</li>
</ul>
<p>To reinforce your diet, you must stick to a good cardiovascular routine. Doing cardio 2 to 3 times a week will definitely help you build lower abs fast. These holistic exercises help build muscle mass and increase metabolism.</p>
<p>Full cardio workouts include running, walking, swimming, and yoga. If you feel like doing something new, try out a workout video. There are so many to choose from.</p>
<p>The last and final step to build lower abs is directly targeting the muscle group itself.</p>
<p>Standard crunches and full body crunches are two of the easiest, most effective core-specific exercises you can do. Performing these exercises 3 to 5 times a week at 20 to 25 reps per exercise will definitely speed things up.</p>
<p>If you’re really serious about your exercise plan, you can successfully build lower abs by including all three steps. Besides, it only takes about 30 minutes to an hour to complete your cardio and abs exercises, and even less to think about what to eat everyday. Stick to your program and you’ll get ripped abs sooner than you think.</p>
