Lower Stomach Exercise - Part 1

Today we will talk about the exercises for the lower stomach. Many people found a lot of fat deposits on the lower stomach region, and sadly it is the most difficult to get rid off. Losing fat from a particular region is not possible, in this case losing fat only from lower abs. So you also need to concentrate on overall fat loss along with these powerful lower abs exercises.

1. Reverse Crunches

To do reverse crunches
1. Lie on your back on a bench or floor and place the hands on the floor. If you are using the bench hold on the rack behind you for support.

2. Bend your knees and bring them up far towards your face. Remember not to lift your pelvis off the bench.



3. Contract the abs to curl the hips off the floor, reaching the legs up towards the ceiling.

4. Slowly lower your knees until your rear end comes to rest on the bench again. Repeat the movement, also do
this movement deliberately and under control.

2. Hanging Reverse Crunches

This is also similar to reverse crunches or you can call it another version of reverse crunches but you do it by hanging your hands from a bar instead of lying on a bench or floor.

To do hanging reverse crunches 
1. Hang on a bar and bring your knees up to the level of your abdomen.

2. Crunch and raise your knee up as far as high as possible rolling your back and crunching as hard as possible.


3. Some people, especially those with heavy weight finds it difficult to do hanging reverse crunches. A variation to this is lying head up ward on a slanting board.
