So you are trying to find the best lower ab workout to tone and flatten your stomach. I can tell you from experience that it can be hard and frustrating.   Well guess what, I will give you three exercises that will do exactly that. However, we must go over and make sure that you understand a few basics about training your lower abs, before we get into the exercises.

If you are wanting to loss lower ab fat, the first thing that you must understand is that in order to loss fat from your stomach, you must loss fat from all over your body. By creating a caloric difference, your body will burn the excess fat as energy. In order to loss one pound of fat you need to create a 3500 calorie deficit. This is the only way you are going to be able to lose weight.

So no matter what type of exercise, tip or trick you use, if you are not creating that caloric difference you are not going to lose any weight. So no matter if you have one pound to lose or 40 pounds, it will all depend on the caloric difference.

But, I can assure you that you will be delighted to discover that you will have stronger core muscles, as well as wonderfully toned abs and an improved posture, because you put yourself through a rigorous ab workout routine. Whether or not your abs can be seen is going to depend on a number of factors, including your gender, body type, and your body fat percentage.

It’s a good idea to exercise regularly because this will go a long way in helping you lose even more weight. More specifically you will want to incorporate interval training along with a good diet. Once you have these two items under control, you will start to melt of the fat and reveal you abs.

OK, it’s time to get down to the business of melting that fat off and creating a toned and flatter stomach, so I am going to describe the three exercises for the lower abs that you can begin immediately.

When you are training your abs, you will want to do circuit training or super sets.

So here are the best lower ab exercises to lose fat and tone your stomach:

Exercise #1 – V-Ups

Start by laying flat on your back, you may also use a mat, as this may feel more comfortable.

While holding your feet and arm together, raise both of them as straight as possible.

Maintain this position for three to five seconds and make sure your back is as straight as you can keep it.

Lower both your arms and legs down to the starting position, while you exhale slowly.

Repeat 10 – 12 times

Exercise #2 – Lying Leg Raises/Throwdowns

Start by laying flat on your back, you may also use as a mat, as this may feel more comfortable.

Utilizing only your hip flexors and abdominal muscles, keep your legs together as you slowly raise them straight up into the air.

Keep you lower back as straight as possible, and hold up for 3 to 5 seconds.

Breathe out slowly as you bring your legs back down to the floor.

Do this exercise for 10 to 12 repetitions.

Exercise #3 – Reverse Crunches

Using a mat to make sure you are comfortable, lay on your back and place your hands beneath your rear end. Your palms should be on the floor.

Keep you lower back as straight as possible, lifting your legs so that they are vertical. Contract your abs so your midsection is tense.

Now, using a slow and steady motion, bring one leg down until your foot is about two or three inches from the floor. Keep your leg in that position for a couple of seconds and then slowly bring it all the way down to the floor. Repeat these motions with the other leg, and then alternate back and forth between one leg and the other.

Repeat 15 times with each leg.

So by combining these three lower ab workouts together you will create a lean and toned body.

So let’s get lean!

If you’re strapped for time, these three exercises can constitute your entire workout routine.  If you have more time, make them a part of a more extensive exercise program. However, if you have any type of lower back pain problems, I don’t recommend these exercises.
