Lower belly flab can cause quite a bit of frustration when it comes to the body. Although it is tempting to believe that doing endless amounts of lower ab exercises can held rid your body of this fat, that's simply not true. You must follow a healthy diet plan and burn fat through cardiovascular exercise. That being said, you can incorporate lower belly exercises into your workout plan to help tone up and strengthen this area of your body. The key thing you need to focus on is proper form.
Step 1
Hang from a pull-up bar to do knee raises. Grab the bar with an overhand, shoulder-width grip and let your legs hang straight down toward the ground. Draw your knees up to your chest and squeeze for a second. Lower your legs back down and repeat.
Step 2
Execute a set of flutter kicks. Lie face-up on the floor with your hands under your butt and your legs elevated slightly off the floor. Lift your right leg 2 to 3 feet in the air and lower it back to the starting point as you simultaneously lift your left leg 2 to 3 feet in the air. Keep going up and down with your legs in a smooth fashion.
Step 3
Perform leg pull-ins on a flat bench. Sit lengthwise on the bench with your legs straight out in front of your body. Grab the edges of the bench behind you and lean back slightly. Bring your knees into your chest as you lean forward. Extend your legs back out and repeat. Keep your back perfectly straight throughout the exercise.
Step 4
Lie on your back to do bicycle kicks. Lift your legs, bend your knees 90 degrees and level your shins with the floor. Place your hands on the sides of your head and lift your body into a crunch position. Twist your upper body as you bring your right elbow toward your left knee. Fully extend your right leg as you do this. Reverse the motion and bring your left elbow toward your right knee as you fully extend your left leg. Keep twisting back and forth in a smooth and continuous manner.
Step 5
Lie face-up on a bench to do jacknifes. Extend your arms over your head and straighten your legs. Lift your arms and legs simultaneously and try to touch your hands to your toes. Your body should from a "V" shape at this point. Return to the starting point and repeat.
