Sculpted Lower Abs Exercises
Abdominals, abdominals, abdominals! Sculpting the abdomen is the goal of many fitness lovers and not, but we often find ourselves practicing long sessions of abdominals that go to work mainly on the upper abs, neglecting the lower part. For this reason, in this article we are going to illustrate three exercises for sculpted lower abs.
1. Hanging Leg Raises con Presa Supina
This is a fantastic exercise for the lower abs and is also particularly challenging for a beginner.
Execution: grab a pull-up bar being careful to use a supine grip (palms facing us), this type of grip will allow us to hang more time and consequently we will be able to perform more repetitions of the exercise than the version with the classic prone grip (as in the photo). With feet together, lift your legs up to a 90 degree angle with your torso and stay in place for about a second. Slowly return to the starting position and perform the necessary repetitions without swinging, a slow and controlled movement will allow us to perform this exercise in a balanced way.
2. Leg Lifts
Similar to the previous exercise but this time we can lie down on the ground.
Lie on your back with your legs extended and place your hands on the ground at the hips (if it is more comfortable you can place them under your buttocks). By slightly bending the knees, we slowly lift the legs upwards and (let's insert a variation) once the thighs form a 90 degree angle with the torso, we lift the buttocks from the ground by pushing them upwards. We place the buttocks on the ground again and extend the legs until they return to the starting position but without letting the feet touch the ground, we leave the heels suspended from the floor for a few centimeters and repeat the exercise slowly.
3. Army Crawl
A fun exercise but certainly no less intense than the previous ones, with benefits for the whole abdomen.
In this exercise we will have to crawl back and forth, to help us it is possible to use something like small towels under the shoes but it is not necessary. By assuming the plank position, contract your glutes and keep your back straight. With the help of your forearms, crawl forward for 4 or 5 steps and then perform the movement in reverse, crawling back until you return to the starting position. The movement is inspired by a classic of military exercise.
Conclusion
It is possible to perform these fantastic exercises and other movements for the abdominals, freely in the comfort of your own home. To maximize results, we will never tire of reiterating the importance of a healthy and balanced diet. These exercises will strengthen and sculpt our lower abs but we will need to burn the fat located on the abdomen to show the tortoise. So don't forget to combine training with the correct diet and you can't fail to get fantastic results.
