If you’re still trying towork on your six-pack— maybe you’ve tried doing100 crunches a day, like I did for a weekand have started eating in a calorie deficit to lower your body fat — it’s important not to abandon exercising your lower abs too. Don’t worry, it’s not a whole load of exercises you need to add to your workout regime. In fact, this workout only has four moves and you don’t need any equipment either — result!
The lower ab area can be prone to holding stubborn fat, which can be difficult to shift and, sadly, we can’t choose where our body loses fat. However,Healthlinesays that while ab exercises will help to strengthen and tone your abdominals, “the only way to lose fat on your lower stomach is to lose fat overall.” What can help with this? Eating in a calorie deficit. Do this, alongside these exercises and you’re more likely to see better results.
For this workout, you need to pick four out of the six exercises to do from the list below. Whichever ones you decide to choose, you’ll need to do 10 to 12 reps of each with a 15 second rest between each set (if you need 20 we won’t judge). You want to aim to do three to four rounds in total and you get a longer rest in between each round — 45 to 60 seconds. Here’s your exercises:
Make sure you take your time and don’t rush your exercises, so you feel your core really engaging. For the exercises that require you to lie completely on your back, remember to tilt your pelvis in towards you, so it’s completely flat to the floor and there’s no arch underneath. Make sure you have something comfy underneath you, like ayoga mat(theGaiman mat is a brilliant budget buy) otherwise, your form will most likely be off and you won’t perform the exercise properly.
