Lower Ab Workouts - For a Flat and Ripped Stomach!If you're like me, then your abs are hard to maintain and not fun to train. The more lower ab workouts you have in your arsenal, the easier it can be to train them while at the gym. A lot of people train them at the end of their workout, so when it comes time, they skip them and say "next time." If you are motivated and well informed, than the more likely you are to do them. Here are a list of my favorite stomach exercisesfor men and stomach exercises for women:Remember, the first step toward a six pack is a good diet, and cardio 2-3 times a week. If you don't follow those two basic principles, then you will fail exercises for a flat stomach. Ab ExercisesLower Ab Workouts: Surrender Sit-UpsThese are core exercises for men and women. They are called surrender sit-ups because of the hand position. Your arms will be above your head as if you were surrendering to someone. In the upright position, place your feet flat on the floor. Slowly lower yourself back like a traditional sit-up, but only go as far as you can without lifting your feet off the floor. Then return to the starting position.Lower Ab Workouts: Ab TwistsSit down and cross your feet in the air, lean back so that all the tension is on your abs. Cross your hands and go side to side emphasizing the movement on your abs, twist and squeeze everytime.

Ask your spotter to help you with an 8–10 lb. medicine ball. While seated on the Swiss Ball in an upright position, have your partner throw the medicine ball over your head so you can catch it while lying back over the Swiss Ball. Sit up and throw the medicine ball back to your partner.Exercise For Abs: Cable Side CrunchesUsing a cable in the highest position, grasp the handle or tricep rope with one hand and rest the other on top the hand grabbing the handle, or if your using a tricep rope grab each side of the roup with either hand. Your hands should be right above your head. Keeping your arms completely stationary, crunch between the waist and lower chest only. The movement will be small and very isolated. Be sure to do both sides for about 3 sets of 12-15 reps with a challenging weight.Return To Home From Lower Ab Workouts Copyright © 2011-2012 Weight-Lifting-Info.com
