For most people, the lower abs are the hardest to train. This is because most of the “traditional” ab workouts don’t really do much to target this area. In order to strengthen this area and get your lower abs to show up there are a few things you need to do differently in your training.

First of all let me be VERY clear - this is NOT a “Lose Belly Fat” video! In fact if you came here to “tone your belly fat” you’re absolutely in the wrong place. First of all it’s impossible to “spot treat” fat. If you’re going to lose fat you do it from your whole body, not just the area you’re training. Second - the best approach to losing belly fat is found in the kitchen, not the gym. If you really want to improve your ab definition, start by cleaning up your diet and supplement with workouts like this one.

Your lower abs (bottom half of the rectus abdominis and internal obliques) are responsible for what we call “bottom up trunk flexion”. They pull on the front of your pelvis to draw it up towards your chest. In order to train your lower abs, you must perform exercises that pull your pelvis up rather than pull your chest down.

The exercises in this workout are designed to fulfill this exact goal and help you strengthen and define those lower ab muscles.

⭐️ Tips To Train Your Lower Abs ⭐️
➡️ Keep your back flat to the floor (no arch) - this ensures you keep your lower abs engaged throughout the movements
➡️ Keep your abs “drawn in” - try to keep the deepest abdominal layer activated by drawing your belly button in towards your spine
➡️ Use your abs, not your hip flexors - generate motion with your abs, not the front of your hips
➡️ Take breaks if you need them - but DON’T QUIT! I’ll grind out the full 8 minutes, but if you can’t make it that long take a small break. When you’re ready jump back in and try to do more! That’s the key to progress and success!

How Often Should I Train My Abs?
You can actually train your abs everyday without fear of overtraining. They’re designed to be worked hard and recover quickly. Be mindful of how you feel and bear in mind you might need a day to recover (especially early on), but as your strength improves so will your tolerance to consistent core work.
