Lower Abdominal Exercises 

Isolate the Lower Ab Muscles with these lower abs exercises!

Most Lower Abdominal Exercises fall short of developing the Lower ab muscles of the Body. This is so as the lower ab muscles are one of the most difficult muscles to develop and expose on our bodies. 

This is due to improper isolation of the muscles when completing certain lower abs workout.

Think about it... When we do an exercise for a certain muscle (let us say triceps) properly we should feel a burning sensation towards the final repititions of the exercise.

This is a result of you correctly isolating the muscle which will over a period of time yield the maximum development to that muscle (in this case triceps).

The point of this disussion was for you to understand that if you do not isolate and stimulate your lower abdominals you will not see significant improvements. This leads us onto our next question which is;

How do I isolate and stimulate my lower Abs?

Isolating and stimulating the lower Abs is not easy and requires concentration throughout the exerises even when becoming fatigued. I find the best method is following the principals of Pilates.

 
     1.Engage Pelvic floor by 40% (This is the muscle used if your holding in your pee!)

     2.Draw your Belly-button in & down towards your to spine

     3.Keep your back Level against the ground

     4.Shoulders back & down to the floor

 
So 4 Things: Pelvic floor engaged, Belly-button to spine, Level Back and Shoulders back & down

This should be done prior to and right thoughout the exercise.

[IMPORTANT: You should aim to tilt and crunch your midsection where your lower abs are as oppose to tilting and crunching your midsection where your upper abs are. You should also FEEL the BURN where your middle&lower Abs are toward the later repititions of the exercise!]
