Lower Ab Training Tip
Return to Tips by Muscle Group
Have you tried Vertical Lying Leg Thrusts yet? These are a great target
exercise for your lower abs. Begin by lying on your back; I like to do the movement on a flat bench, but it also works on
the floor. Now lift your legs until they’re vertical. Tuck your hands under your buttocks, and make sure your lower
back is flat on the ground. To perform the movement, concentrate on tightening up and squeezing together the muscles in your
lower abs. Your legs and your lower torso should move upward toward the ceiling. Remember, the feeling you’re after
is one of tightening and squeezing in your abs; and it’s this squeezing that should lift your buttocks off your hands.
Lower your torso back down to complete one rep. The most important thing in lower ab training is not how many reps you do
but how hard you squeeze!
