Great lower abs in 1 month

Lower stomach muscles exercises are a great way to get the abs that you think only movie stars have. These lower stomach muscle exercises can be done in the comfort of your own home without spending a fortune on abs machines or gym memberships. Before starting the lower stomach muscle exercises it is important to take notice of the following hints and tips.

- A warm up is a must. If you do not warm up before hand, you can tear or damage muscles or ligaments. - These exercises on their own will not work, you must combine them with other activities such as walking, swimming or weight lifting. - Ensure when carrying out any exercise plan that your diet is full of foods that help the body to burn energy and remember to stay away from the foods that cause the body to store fat.

So let's get started with our lower stomach muscle exercises.

Crunches. Lie on your back with your hands beside you and flat on the floor. Keeping both legs together, raise them slowly into the air, you will be able to feel the muscles in your stomach working. When you are at a 90% angel, hold the place for five seconds and then slowly lower your legs. Repeat 10 - 15 times.

The plank. Get down on your hands and knees. Start to raise your hips up so that your knees leave the floor and instead your toes become flat to the floor. Hold the place for five seconds and then lower down slowly back to your knees. Repeat 10 - 15 times.

Bicycle crunches. Lie on your back with your feet flat on the floor on your hands behind your head. Bring your left knee up whilst at the same time bringing your right elbow forward to meet it. Hold the place for five seconds, lower back to the starting place and then repeat with the right knee and left elbow.

Leg thrusts. Lie on your back with your hands under your buttocks. Place your legs so they are at a 90% angel straight into the air. Contract your ab muscles to lift your torso and legs further into the air. Hold for five seconds, Lower and then repeat.

All these exercises should be carried out in a session lasting 20 to 30 minutes and at least three times a week to see quick and maximum results. Remember to warm up before hand.

So to recap what we have learned on lower stomach muscle exercises.

The exercises should not be done on their own. They must be part of an all over body workout such as swimming or walking. A good diet is also needed to fuel the body with energy but at the same time prevent fat storage.
