HOW TO GET LOWER ABS SHARP

Follow these tips to develop your lower abs sharp.

First TARGET YOUR LOWER ABS

When your upper abs are stronger, you have a tendency to pull from them,”. “For every rep that you perform, you should concentrate on your lower abdominals. Crunch down hard on that portion with every rep.” Also, perform lower-ab exercises like hanging leg raises and reverse crunches first in your workout when your lower abs are strongest.

FOCUS ON QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY

Too many people try to do 20, 30 or even more reps for abs, but this tends to make you conserve energy in the weak areas of your abs and focus more on the strong parts.” crunching your weakest area -- your lower abs -- you'll improve the quality of each set, even if you aren'’t able to perform as many reps.

FOCUS ON ABS AT OTHER TIMES OF THE DAY

I tell my clients to work on their abs when they'’re doing cardio, training other bodyparts, walking or even sitting at their desk. By learning to hold your midsection tight at other times, you create a stronger core, and that will pay off with better development of your lower abs.

WATCH YOUR WAIST

It'’s true that nutrition is a significant component of making your abs visible. Many people have developed lower abs, but they'’re hidden by a thin layer of bodyfat. Bodyfat tends to accumulate a little lower on the waist. If you have a small amount of fat on your waistline, it may only cover your lower abs, while your upper abs appear far more developed. To boil down abs-displaying nutrition to a single sentence. “Eat fewer calories than you need for bodyweight maintenance while keeping your protein consumption above one gram per pound of bodyweight each day.”
