Lower Abs
 

I was wondering if anyone had a good tip to work the lower abs. I work out my abs all the time and I am having trouble with the lower ones. If you have any good exercises to help I would appreciate it! thanks

its one muscle. if you want it to show you need to lower your body fat %.

that's your problem right there.

Abs are the same as any mucle, don't over train them.

Drop your body fat to have them more defined.

You can try to spot reduce them, with products like Ab-Solved or LipoDerm, but they don't work for everyone.

Ever seen Nip/Tuck? Always a last resort.

Some good advices in here...

Try this:

While laying down, lift your legs up in the air, and try to reach your feet. Hold for a while, then do some reps. Make sure you adjust your exercise to feel the burn in the lower abs.

Flutter kicks, baby! We did these all the damn time in basic training and AIT, most of the time as punishment, but I lost five dress sizes in four months!:) Down to a 6/7 because of those damn things...

Lie down on the ground (or mat, if you have one). Put your hands under your ass, palms facing the ground. You do this to protect your tailbone and to keep you from using your arms to "cheat". Lift both legs 6" off of the ground and start kicking! Keep your knees locked and do NOT let your feet touch the ground!

Looks kind of like THIS.

You only have to do this for a few minutes every day. It'll hurt like a bitch at first, but it gets results!!

For obliques, if you go to a gym, they have machines for that. Or basically just a stand. You sit sideways on it, at an angle, and basically do situps, but sideways. Then turn around and repeat. You can hold a weight with one arm and dangle it for increased resistance. For better definition, running (or something of the like) is the best way to increase definition. And healthy diet. Lots of water, soda is bad. :)

how about reading a good anatomy/exercise physiology book so you can avoid wasting time trying to train imaginary muscles
