Exercise for Lower Abs

If you are aiming at ripped and toned 6-pack/ 8-pack abs any ineffective workout regime wouldn’t be of any use to you. You should keep your basics right and keep your workout simple. The workout/exercises mentioned below might just be a start point of your perfect low abs workout.

Rolling Out on Exercise Ball

First and foremost for this particular exercise you need a nice quality exercise ball. An exercise ball is not very expensive; it would be highly useful for your workout routine in more than one ways. This is basically a stretching form of exercise; to start you are required to kneel down on your fours on the floor keeping the exercise ball in front. Make sure you are on solid ground with a carpet or preferably an exercise mat on the floor.

Keep your hands flat on the top portion of the ball, your arms should be straight and they shouldn’t be locked at all. Slowly and steadily roll the exercise ball as your palms come near the ground followed by the wrist and then your low arm. You have to be sure your abs muscles are tensed as you move ahead. As you push your body forward you would obviously lower your body. Make sure you don’t push your buttocks out and you don’t feel uncomfortable.

Reverse Crunch

Lie down on the floor and keep your hands under your buttock. Lift your legs up (straight and not locked) hold them up as you reach up in a vertical direction. Now bend the knees at a 90 degrees angle, raise your knees till they are up vertically. Lower the legs horizontally as you bend knees at 90 degrees, upper part of the legs should still point up. Slowly low your legs, until your feet reach near the floor (shouldn’t touch the floor), go back again to the start position. Make sure you move very slowly.

Plank

Get on the elbows and knee, keeping elbows under the shoulder and your hands in front. As far as your legs are concerned only your feet should touch the ground. Slowly lift the body from your shoulder till your knees up in the air. Your hips shouldn’t sag; keep them aligned with your body. Your head should also be in line with the body. Breathe and hold the position till you are comfortable. Lower your body to the floor as you keep everything aligned .
