If you're like us, there's probably one area you feel like you can't work enough: your abs. More specifically, your lower abs. It seems like no matter how much training you do, they just stay the same. Well there’s a reason for that.
“In order to lose weight and show muscle definition, you need to train the whole body system," says Amanda Servant, certified trainer and instructor at The Fitting Room in New York City. "You need to expend calories—and pair that with a well-balanced diet.” Maybe you've heard the best abs are made in the kitchen?
But that's not a pass to skip those crunches and planks. “It is important to train the primary because that is your center for balance,” Servant says. “Plus, a strong primary can help reduce returning problems.”
Not sure exactly how to hit those lower belly muscles? You’re not alone. “Lower abs are very difficult to strengthen because that is where our body system stores most of its excess fat,” says Servant. “And for women, the hormone estrogen naturally wants to support onto fat in this area.”
Perform each exercise for Half a minute with Just a few a few moments of rest between moves. Complete the entire circuit 1 to 3 times.
Lie face up, hands under your butt, legs bent, feet lifted into table top place. Gradually decrease your flexed feet ahead until your heels barely touch the floor. Press your abdominal muscles to help increase you look out onto table top.
