Lower Abs Posted: 01-17-05 15:47pm
I have a question for anyone who knows
anything about lower abdominal excersize.
I have been working on my abs for accouple
of months now and I had no problems what
so ever getting my upper abdominal muscles
in shape. I've been researching lower
abdominal excersize but cant seem to come
up with much. Any one who has any ideas
on how to get lower abs in shape would be
much appreciated. Thanx.
Also I dont know if it matters much but
i'm a female whos almost 20.

Hey.. Your answer is a pretty simple one.
Ab exercises won't help. :)
ab exercises will only develop your upper
ab muscles, and even then, not very much.
Everyone naturally has ab's... However
it's just hidden by a layer (or two.. Or
ten) of fat. You want your abs to show,
it's pretty simple.. All you have to do
is lower your overall bf% and they'll show
through nicely.

Thanx for your reply...
I realize that you need to rid your
stomach of any excess body fat but there
must be a way to exercise the lower
muscles as well! I have very little fat
on my stomach... Or the rest of my
body... I was blessed with a great
metabolism.... But my lower abs still do
not show.
If anyone knows any excersizes they would
be much appreciated.... I tried to find
some on the internet but everything leads
to some book or some scam to make you pay
money.
But you may be right "justin_toronto"...
But I hope there is some sort of excersize
to better define my lower abs.

Your "lower abs" are your obliques. There
are many excersises out there that can
strenghten them. Search for obliques
online. However in order for your abs to
show then you must lose bf. Ab work does
strenghten and build your muscles but it
doesnt get you a ripped 6 pack. That and
a lower bf will though.

As stated in another thread, the excercise
wheel does all the areas of the abbs, top,
bottom, and sides. If you haven't seen
one, they're basically a weel with handles
at the sides, and you go forward and back
on it. Works wonders, more than anything
i've ever tried.

How do you lower body fat? I am a 32
year old female and I am currently trying
to get in shape. My biggest problem is
my lower abs and I know that you can not
spot train but I don't know what is an
effective way to lower my bf. I am
currently speed walking, i've joined a
water aerobics class and I am very
particular about what I eat though I am
not on a diet. Any suggestions? My
waist is now 31 inches and I want it to be
about 26.
