<\/p>\nThe lower abs are one of the harder areas to target. Combine that with where visceral fat loves to reside, and getting that all-over chiseled look becomes a little more difficult. It\u2019s a bit easier to target the upper abs, just sitting up in bed will engage them, but the lower ones are more stubborn. Here are our top 3 exercises for lower abs. Remember, you are always tapping into your core through weight training and other bodyweight exercises. It all builds on top of itself if you just stick with it.

\u2022\tStart on your back with legs extended, knees together, toes pointed, arms overhead, fingers pointed.
\n\u2022\tLift shoulders off the floor, and use your abs to lift your thighs off the floor, making a V shape.
\n\u2022\tSqueezing abs again, slowly lower down to starting position.
\n\u2022\tRepeat for 3 sets of 10.

\u2022\tStarting on your back, with your hands placed underneath you at the small of your back, and shoulders off the floor, lift your legs slightly off the ground (the higher your legs, the easier it is).
\n\u2022\tNow kick your legs up and down in small, alternating kicks, keeping your toes pointed.
\n\u2022\tEach leg counts as a rep. Repeat for 200 total reps.

\u2022\tStarting on your back, get yourself into the same V position as above but hold it.
\n\u2022\tThe more extended your body is, the more difficult it is. For beginners, raise your legs to almost perpendicular to the floor, but still keep your shoulders off the ground. You want to be in a position where your back isn\u2019t rounded.
\n\u2022\tOnce in your desired position, gently rock back and forth on your back (definitely use a yoga mat to prevent a burn on your lower back\/spine\/tailbone).
\n\u2022\tYou should really feel a lot of core engagement on this one, especially when trying to keep your body rocking.
\n\u2022\tRock for 20 seconds. Repeat for 4 more sets.
